Driving to Amsterdam, great vocals and instrumental. The rest is up to the same par.

I like all of the tracks, but am amazed that "Hollow Stone" has the least number of votes (the first two votes for this track were also the last). That a song of that quality is trailing says something about the quality of this album, imo. That, Stranded and Stargazers were the immediate stand-out tracks for me when I got the album.

Great album! One of the records with the best artwork ever. I prefer the opener "Space Shanty", but I also like the song about Holland. It's nice to get recognised one in a while.

No vote. I only know Space Shanty which is a Canterbury highlight.

I agree with that Clarke, nothing is out of place or missing on this album for me.

I voted for 'Stranded', but that's only my current mood. I love all of them, it's one of rare perfect prog rock records, and unique one at that.

There is nothing really like this in the Canterbury canon, IMO. Next for you should be Egg - The Polite Force.

weirdly enough, I always think of this album in the same breath as Mainhorse since both were early psyche-rock-primordial prog albums by folks who would later achieve acclaim.
I haven't rightly listened to Mainhorse for awhile, but I remember there being some great songs. I felt compelled to suggest it, although I don't think it's remotely Canterbury -- Moraz and Canterbury???

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

This is such a great album. All songs are equally great, but I'll have to go for the title track because it renewed my little brother's interest in the Canterbury Scene :D

This is such a consistant album that it's tough to pick out one track. My wife actually likes "Stranded",she likes the piano. I'll give "Mixed Up Man Of The Mountains" a vote,but i could flip a coin really and would be happy with the choice. Amazing record.

I voted on "Stranded". I thought that it was a good tune with the anacatesthesia. The melody of Dave Stewart is a good part in Canterbury.

Woah, what a fantastic album! I like them all, but I'll vote for "Driving To Amsterdam" (followed by the first track). Mindblowing music! And I like much more this Hillage than Gong's Hillage. BTW, I've been looking forward to some live Khan material, but couldn't find anything (as if they never played live...), but I've read somewhere that they've made several concerts before they split up. Does anybody know anything about that?

The opener. I like all of them, but I can actually remember what happens in Space Shanty.
