When this legacy line-up reconvened in the early part of the 00 decade, the group had been laid to rest for over two decades, but the previous decade had seen a bunch of posthumous live releases and radio archives that had rekindled the Soft Machine flame. While containing Hugh Hopper in the new line-up (not an original SM member, but coming as close as possible), they wisely chose to add the legacy part to their name. Because if the group was talking the heritage, they didn't want to be SM as such or just sound like their own cover band: they wanted to write new material and maybe pay a little nod now and then to the SM discography here and there.
