Jazz-rock band formed in January 1978 by ex members of Soft Machine. "Soft" being an obvious reference to their past band, and "Heap" being the 4 initial letters of the musicians' first name : Hugh, Elton, Alan, and Pip. The band's direction was very jazzy and improvisational.
Due to his commitments with National Health, Pyle couldn't be on the first tour, thus Dave Sheen replacing him and the band's name changing to Soft HeaD. The album 'Rogue Element (1978) was recorded on that tour. It was followed by an eponymous studio album, this time as Soft Heap (with Pip). Hopper was later replaced by John Greaves, and after Gowen's death in 1981, Mark Hewins joined on guitar. Mark : "John Greaves and I were given the opportunity to change the name of the group when we joined, but we all decided that in respect of Alan Gowen's memory we would keep the HEAP moniker (Hugh, Elton, Alan, Pip)... It could have been... Soft JEMP!".
