Oh...you noticed that did you...?
It's been mentioned many times before.

Actually, I didn't ... not until my pet Roomba brought this to my attention.

Even though Hatfield and National Health are listed as Canterbury I think they are essential 'jazz fusion' albums for me. They have more fusion going on than progrock imo and they are simply superb.

^This is interesting. I recall that the album Fish Rising had a lot of jazzy passages but I'm not sure if that's what he's talking about. But I'm really not that familar with Hillage's work.
