Canterbury is well represented this time. Interesting that Dave Stewart is featured on three of these records(Khan, Egg, Hatfields).
I must admit i was surprised at Shamal winning the last round. That album was produced by Nick Mason by the way. I think Nick worked with Hillage too on his solo albums. Anyway this is the final poll for E-K then we're off to L-R.
Holdsworth is here twice. Once on his album  and also on that Gong classic Gazeuse! Okay i'll shut my yap now. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

| I've heard all of these this time. Definitely Crossings for me. It's a fantabulous album. |

Gazeuse or Rotter? bah, the second! ------------- I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth. |

Boy howdy is this a difficult one. But I must give it to Bateless Edge...one of the best albums of recent years IMO. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

I'm one of the few people who dislikes Khan. I don't think they're that special, or have aged well. Voted Egg. ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

Egg as well for me. Funny, I never used to care that much about Egg until very recently. |

Likewise i forgot to add that a major reason i voted for them is that the album listed clicked with me last Saturday, when i went on another Canterbury marathon. ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

I used to really like Gazeuse and Space Shanty but haven't been interested in either for a very long The overwhelming exception being "Percolations Pt 1 and 2" which is incredible |

Gazeuse is by far my favorite Gong album. I HATE the Trio set. ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

Herbie. That Frogg Cafe one is a doozy, but I appreciate it a lot more than their older albums. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/MysticBoogy" rel="nofollow - My Last.fm

Wow, 2 releases with the amazing Allan Holdsworth on guitar. Have to go with Gong's Gazeuse, since it, along with Jean Luc Ponty's Enigmatic Ocean, was my introduction to his groundsbreaking playing. ------------- http://martinwebb.bandcamp.com The notes are just an interesting way to get from one silence to the next - Mick Gooderick |

Seeing as I currently am on a Mwandishi trip - I'm staying consistent and voting for Crossings. Brilliance from start to finish! Could have gone for Rotter's Club too, but it doesn't quite reach those same heights for me personally. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Hey your back ! I still can't decide between Khan, Hatfields and Frogg Cafe. I love how Hillage rips it up on that Khan album plus it has such a late sixties vibe to it. Stewart just kills on The Rotters Club while Bateless Edge is one of the best newer albums i have heard. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Went for The Rotters Club finally. It wasn't an easy choice. Hancock has proven to be quite popular in this E-K section of polls. I still feel that Sextant is my favourite from him. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

It maybe because their name made it very hard to refer to them without causing confusion but If have always been among the most under-rated prog bands. See, It's almost impossible to include their name in a sentence without the sentence looking like it doesn't make sense. Anyway, unusually among Jazz Rock bands, If are almost equally Jazz and Rock.

Hatfield & the North get my vote I confess I don't get all of the fuss over Crossings It's not bad....but nothing special for me ------------- Prog On! |

Really tough poll . . . I have to be in the right mood for Canterbury, and I'm not right now. So Frogg Cafe! ------------- "I have seen the broken sky turn blue." http://gnosis2000.net/ratertodd.shtml" rel="nofollow - My Gnosis Ratings |
