SYMMETRIC COMMUNICATION

4.5 stars. Well this is simply wonderful and a real surprise. I have been always fascinated with Dave Stewart's compositions, and what we have here can be considered a lost Egg album that every Canterbury fan should hear. In fact, there is a bonus track called I'm afraid I can't do that Dave. Well, anyone can check that this is not true in the YouTube channel of Kris Gietkowski (named Kris G). Let's review track by track:

1. F(X) (8.5/10) - It starts with piano and soon transforms into a symphonic Canterbury piece, loaded with changes, rhythms, experimentation and melodies. Full Egg here. 2. A Visit To Newport Hospital (9/10) - A very accomplished instrumental cover of this classic. I admit I am biased here as this song is probably my favourite of the whole Canterbury scene. 3. Divided By Zero (9/10) - jazz-driven melodies everywhere that makes you wonder if this was composed back in 71-72. My absolute favourite here. 4. I'm afraid I can't do that Dave (9/10) - If there had to be a B-side to A visit to Newport hospital, should be this.

Highly recommended to all Canterbury and especially Dave Stewart fans (Egg Hatfield, National Health).
