hmm.. that is like avoiding symphonic prog becuase you think Genesis were a bunch of sleep inducing hacks.. albeit clever ones..Thumbs UpLOL

As I'm sure you are seeing Canterbury has some substantial variance in it.. it is more a historical grouping that one of groups all sounding the same. Though obviously they do share some influences and sonic similarities.

way cool man.  Lots of great stuff to check out! Never quite the same

Oh I don't think I ignored because it was Canterbury, just ignored a lot of it that was somehow SM (err thats Soft Machine not bondage) related. There is a level of subtlety that I really didn't get back in the day. Older, greyer and wiser (hey two out of three ain't bad) I can now appreciate it somewhat.

Hey , even an unreconstructed G fan can take in the odd alternative.

Then again, I discovered Tim Bowness yesterday so maybe not so cool. LOL

Hell NO!! 

Listen to that voice and don't tell me you wouldn't give that ass to him if he had asked if he promised to sing to you afterward....


Billy Cobham.

I'm still voting for Hatfield because that's the best jazz fusion album on the site. It really is an album that does everything and does it all brilliantly.

I have a lot of time for Birds of Fire, but The Rotters' Club is an exquisite masterpiece.
