Yeah, I've heard of them -- you might even call me a fan. Ditto to what august said, as I can't describe them nearly as well as allmusic can. But they're great, not for the weak of heart however. You definitely have to have a certain taste in music to appreciate the Softs like I do. And in addition to the Softs, one of the founding members, Robert Wyatt, has gone on to a fantastic solo career and is extremely interesting just by himself, so that is something to look into as well, if you're interested.
