To me it has some Canterbury style flavours without being Canterbury style. It's one of those out-of-the-box selections on my list that I think might appeal to quite a few who are into a Canterbury style. |

Thank you! Started out with the Soviet jazz-funk and was pretty blown away - great, wild fun! Tortilla Flat was more immediately Canterbury-sounding (always a good thing) - like Supersister without the jokes. Loved it. Only Dr. Dope left. |

Hatfield and the North for me. That album pretty much sums up everything that was so unique about the Canterbury Scene and one of the top albums of the entire scene.

Still would have voted Camel but including Greenslade's 3rd album, "Spyglass Guest" would have made it a tougher choice

Still Hatfield, but Mirage and Civil Surface are close.
Honorable mentions to Rock Bottom and You. |

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

If you already like the first album you really can't go wrong with the next 2, Bedside Manners Are Extra & Spyglass Guest

Hatfield and the North and RW Rock Bottom tie for the top. I do Like HC Unrest and Gong You very much also. And Mirage I adore but to me it exists in a slightly (only slightly, mind) different place..

Many great albums here - Mirage, You, and Hatfields
But Rock Bottom is particularly special and unique.

Second vote for Cos. I really love that band. Playful, naive, complex and melodic in all the right places - add to that a female vocalist that goes from cute to sinister in a heartbeat whilst still looking you square in the eye. Something of a siren to these ears.
Could have gone for a lot of others e Gong's masterpiece but felt a little Belgian this tuesday afternoon. Edited by Guldbamsen - September 04 2018 at 07:35 |

Totally agree- played last night and again it strikes me just how timeless and almost contemporary it sounds and how instruments, moods, textures and treatments were employed in a way that very, very few (if any) were using at that time but has come to influence a whole range of music in the following decades right up to now (and beyond im sure). An absolute genius!

No votes for Henry Cow made me sad, so I voted for that. Henry Cow, Hatfield, Gong, Wyatt - 5 star albums all. Hell even Camel put out their best. Great poll, tough choice.

Interestingly I recently found a nice (and cheap) copy on original vinyl of Darryl Ways Wolf-Night Music and I have an English issue copy of Rock Bottom on vinyl that I haven't played in a long time....need to pull it out and see what all the fuss is about. I recall it being laid back and not all that exciting.
