Yes, that's an EXCELLENT album. The singer's voice is really a lot like Wyatt's!


I'm glad you liked it Tymon.
What about Homunculus Res then...or are they...erm...too Italian for your tastes?



I did like Homunculus Res, on some of the tracks, they had a nice modern Canterbury sound, the track I really liked was "Jessicalaura", I think it was called. A nice band with an interesting sound, but did not please me as much as The Winstons.

Are you familiar with Stubbs? I've written a pioneering review on their album about a month ago. Not really modern, from 1985, bur great, incredibly obscure Canterbury-inspired band nonetheless.

Hmmm, I'm really back and forth with that one, Sam! I totally understand what you're saying and completely agree, then the next listen I think it's absolute psychedelic perfection! I mean, to be fair it's kind of aimless and simplistic, but then there's also that lethargic droning sound and hint of danger to it...

Bah, now I'm more confused than ever!
I think, just like Zeit (which I still don't have), you must be on a really Psych mood to enjoy... although it's a bit aimless, like you said. I slept for 10 hours straight after listening to it and got late to work, so yeah it's dangerous LOL


Damn, I missed a whole page of this thread Embarrassed Since last Friday:
Terreno Baldio - s/t
Banco del Mutuo Soccorso - Io Sono Nato Libero
Semiramis - Dedicato a Frazz
Shamblemaths - s/t
Delirium - Il Nome del Vento
Cai - Más Allá de Nuestras Mentes Diminutas
José Cid - Vida (Sons do Quotidiano)

Yes - Songs From Tsongas (Both DVD's. I won't be listening to Yes for a while now LOL)
Eric Clapton - Unplugged

Vangelis - Spiral (Here's another album that on one listen I think it's not great but on the next one it's incredible Big smile)
Harald Grosskopf - Synthesist (This album is so cool Cool)

Heh...I was somewhat under-whelmed when I first span Homunculus Res, but they're slowly gaining ground at my place - meaning I keep coming back to their two albums (the debut in paricular).

I seem to remember reading up on The Stubbs, but this is the first time I've ever listened to them. Very nice indeed, thanks for that.
Now as long as we're talking obscure Canterbury outfits, then why not mention Dave Stewart and Pip Pyle's completely overlooked 80s gem Dogged By Dogma?

To be honest, I have never listened to that. In fact, I'm guility of overlooking most of 80's Canterbury scene. It's a good listen, I liked it, although it had a type of flavor that I didn't like fully. Thanks for the heads up nonetheless Smile

No prob.
The 80s seem so unappreciated by prog fans and I do understand that viewpoint if one's only taste of them consists of the big 70s acts and their newly aqcuired pop sensibilities. The RIO and avant bands though were making delicious sauce during those years.

Btw Tymon seeing as you're from Poland have you checked out your fellow countrymen SBB yet? They are guilty in making one of the absolute finest live releases ever called Karlstad. Their studio work from the 70s is also highly recommended.

Yes, of course. SBB are one of my favorites when it comes to Polish bands. In fact, if you take the Canterbury style definition as far as those saying Camel is Canterbury scene, than SBB definitely does have some Canterbury elelments. I especially like SBB's early works. Pamięć, Nowy Horyzont, Ze Słowem Biegnę Do Ciebie, but also Memento Z Banalnym Tryptykiem. A great band! Józef Skrzek's solo works are also great. I will highly likely be attending SBB's gig this summer in Poland, so I'll definitely let the forum know when that happens.

But, thanks for reminding me. Tomorrow I will revisit one of their albums Smile

Good man

Also happens to sport one of my alltime favourite drummers in Jerzy Piotrowski. The man is a rhythm genius (especially on Karlstad).

I've listened to some really nice stuff today.
-Matching Mole - Matching Mole's Little Red Record (1972)
-The Caretaker - Patience (Afer Sebald) (2012)
-Tangerine Dream - Zeit. Largo In Four Movements (1972)
-John Greaves - Kew Rhone (1977)
-Caravan - For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night (1973)
-Moving Gelatine Plates - The World Of Genius Hans (1972)

I really enjoyed all of these albums. The Caretaker was a great suprise to me, highly recommended. And although Caravan was a bit of a let-down, it was still a great lsiten. Moving Gelatine Plates, a French Canterbury-style band has become somewhat of a great revelation to me. The band is great and has an incredibly original style. John Greaves' album is very, very good. Similar in ways to Henry Cow's first album. And I finally got around to writing a review on Matching Mole's Little Red Record. A productive day, I must admit.

Haven't listened to it in a long time but I do remember liking the album, not essential in any way but still good.
I like how the album opens Approve
