I'm a huge Canterbury fan also.............I think I have just about everything mentioned so far in this thread.....but my favorites are Hatfield followed by Caravan, Egg, National Health, Supersister, Soft Machine, COS, Gong. I recently 'discovered' Amoeba Split and Antique Seeking Nuns/Sanguine Hum.....which Canterbury fans should like. I'm also really love Space Shanty by Khan...which often gets lumped into the same scene due to Hillage's presence. Thoughts on that old fossil.... Arzachel...?

Oh yeah, Dave has the best penmanship in prog, hands down. That letter is frameable.

Pierre!! I listened to that only two hours ago, just before I finished work lol!  It took me a long time to appreciate that one, it seemed so fragmented and unfocused on the first few plays! I think when I first got it was I expecting it to sound like Caravan, but it turned out to be much more involved, experimental and complex! A wonderful album, a Canterbury classic!

Man With Hat/Phil, Is it just me, or does that `Civil Service' album seem to have some wildly inconsistent drum/percussion mixing?! Some sections it's spot on, the next they swamp every other instrument! Still a nice pleasant album, plenty for Canterbury fans to enjoy on it

Steve, what an honour to receive that letter from Mr Stewart! And might I say, Dave's handwriting is beautiful! I especially noticed that, because I recently discovered that my handwritng has really gone to s**t, so I appreciate good hand-writing skills!  Pierre!! Where do you find all these pictures?! You literally have one for every single occasion, no matter how obscure! I'm beginning to wonder if you draw/photograph all these yourself when the need arises! I was especially impressed with your recent `In The Duck of Grey and Pink' efforts lol!

Yeah. And Marc Hollander too. A few years ago, I wrote the lyrics for the project of a friend musician. Marc Hollander loved it and we almost signed on his label Crammed discs. Almost ...

Hell yes Pierre! I love COS. Perhaps one of my favourite Belgian acts. Apart from the vocals of Pascal Son, I find myself increasingly drawn towards the percussion side of things. I love all the clever bongos and such, and it's almost omnipresent in their output.

Opinions on this one? |
The three longer pieces are great. I suppose I am biased (as a drummer who loves percussions) but I would have loved at least one of the Wind Quartets to have some drumming on it. Not to say they are uninteresting as is, just kinda breaks the mood of the album to my ears.
