Soft Machine
In 2002, Dean and three other former Soft Machine members (Hugh Hopper, drummer John Marshall, and guitarist Allan Holdsworth) toured and recorded under the name Soft Works. With another former Soft Machine member, guitarist John Etheridge, replacing Holdsworth, they subsequently toured and recorded as Soft Machine Legacy, playing some pieces from the original Soft Machine repertoire as well as new works. Featuring Dean, three albums of the Legacy have been released: "Live in Zaandam" (CD, rec. 2005/05/10), "New Morning - The Paris Concert" (DVD, rec. 2005/12/12) and the studio album "Soft Machine Legacy" (CD, 2006, rec. 2005).
