Soft Machine

A British fusion/progressive rock group named after the book of the same name. They were a central band in the Canterbury Scene of musicians. They started off as a psychedelic band, performing at the UFO club of Pink Floyd fame. Their best album is, without a doubt, Third, which is fusion in the style of Miles Davis's Bitches Brew. It's very trippy.

Some famous members were Robert Wyatt, Mike Ratledge, Hugh Hopper, Kevin Ayers, and Allan Holdsworth.
I was listening to Third by Soft Machine, and it was so awesome that everybody came over and had a good time.

Mathias

An awesome and down to earth guy who everyone loves. He makes you feel like you are the only one there and makes you feel very very special. He cares and doesn't let other people be mean to his girlfriend. He respects you and always says how much he loves you and cares about you. Not always in the same language but still. You won't be able to resist the loving and hottness of someone like him.

Machine mode

When a male goes to a social gathering (such as a bar or club) and tries to chat up every female at said gathering.

A male in machine mode who gets knocked back by a female, will quickly forget about the female and move on to another female, often the nearest female to the first female and probably the first female's friend.
Friend 1 @ a club: "Alright mate, where you been for the last hour?"

Friend 2 @ the club: "No time to chat, I'm in machine mode tonight, I've already been knocked back by half the girls here... time to move on to the fat chicks. Later."
