Canterbury Scene Music

ZOPP      Finally, this is what I've been waiting for! In the Dominion of Canterbury Scene bands, Zopp are one of the best British bands who barely anyone has ever heard of. Zopp may be new to the Canterbury Scene, but they're better than Hatfield & the North, better than National Health, and dare I say it, better than Caravan too! 

Zopp's Dominion album may be the best album in the entire dominion of Canterbury Scene music. No, not even maybe... It IS the best Canterbury Scene album I've ever heard!      

ZYMA      Finally, four years, 90+ artists and 300+ albums later, it's the last but not least Canterbury Scene artist, and what a great way to finish! Zyma are one of only two German Canterbury Scene bands, alongside Tortilla Flat. They may be at the end of the alphabet, but Zyma are leaders of the pack in terms of musical ability, but then again, we wouldn't expect anything less from the Germans. Danke Schoen und Guten Nacht. 

It's been a pleasure. Now seems like a good time to put together a list of my Canterbury Scene 5-star favourites, so here goes:-

 1972: Khan - Space Shanty - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_neCfaRIj9J2aZKoMS909hNhdmCxafD_fo

 1999: Moom - Bone Idol - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_n6H59xpHQVcmcgxck6yoFbZxP7NX7gxPI

At least I'm predictable. I've tried to like Robert Wyatt by listening to all of his albums again yesterday, but I'm afraid he still remains at the rock bottom of my Canterbury Scene pile, alongside Hugh Hopper. Ribbit. 🐸

Zopp are the Topps for me and the music goes nicely with tea and crumpets too.
