.Супер-джаз-рок-группа, образованная в январе 1978 года бывшими членами Soft Machine (
http://netlab.e2k.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=113948 Elton Dean (sax), Alan Gowen (keyboards), Hugh Hopper (bass) и Pip Pyle (drums).
"Soft" очевидный намек на их прошлое, а "Heap" сложилось из начальных букв имен музыкантов: Хью, Элтон, Алан и Пип.
Направленость группы сразу определилась как очень джазовая и импровизационная.
В первом гастрольном турне по Франции в апреле 1978 года не смог учавствовать из-за своих обязательств с National Health Пип Пайл и
заменивший его Дэйв Шин "поправил" абревиатуру второго слова в названии группы на Head.
Записанный в этом турне альбом 'Rogue Element (1978) также вышел под новым именем.
За этим последовал одноименный студийный альбом, на этот раз уже как Soft Heap, в связи с вернувшимся в группу Пайлом.
Позже Хоппер был заменен Джоном Гривзом, а после смерти Говена в 1981 году к группе присоединился гитарист Марк Хьюинс.
"Джону Гривзу и мне была предоставлена возможность изменить название группы, когда мы присоединились,
но все мы решили, что в отношении памяти Алана Говена название останется прежним (Хью, Элтон, Алан, Пип)... хотя могли бы стать и Soft JEMP! " (Mark Hewins)
Записи группы не выпускались в течение 80-х годов, при том что группа продолжала давать концерты:
четыре тура в течение десяти лет, в общей сложности 25 европейских концертов, кульминацией которых по словам Хьюинса стал
"фантастический концерт в цирковой палатке, построенной специально для нас, на Coutance Festival в 1989 году - это было записано и транслировалось в прямом эфире FR1 Radio".
