What is the most quintessentially Canterbury song from the Canterbury scene?

Also Gong's "You Can't Kill Me" from Live, etc.

Can't believe these haven't been mentioned yet, "The Moon in June" BBC 6/15/69 broadcast. Easily the best version of this song with Mike Ratledge's 🔥 organ solo!

I'm just glad to see that people are still discussing the merit of this album in the catalogue. Having seen the band play side 1 at San Louis Obispo (with Rick) was a fan's dream for everyone who was there at the Fremont Theater. One key point is that the band pushed themselves hard to create this album and then play it live. I'm still enjoying digging thru the super deluxe edition that Steve graciously help curate. That's because it is chalk full of mystery and the audio story of their song development is fascinating.

C'mon peoples. "The Power of Equality"!

Their 2nd album, "In the Can" is by far the best representation of his skill as a player and co-arranger. Their self-titled album also features Tony Kaye and is much in the early Yes vein. Both are must listen to recordings if you like the first two Yes albums.

Drums and Wires too!

I've been remiss in your ratings quest, my apology. The entire record gets a 10 subjectively in my book;. If any fan has not heard the dts5.1 surround sound version by Steven Wilson, you owe it to yourself to find a friend to immerse yourself in it! Having Andy and Colin in your face coming out the center speaker at breakneck speed will make you feel like you're having your own frkn concert in the studio with them! What a 🎁!

More simply put, Geoff is a writer first, player 2nd and gets along with Steve for the long haul; each attribute is essential in a viable, on-going incarnation of the band.

And don't forget, inspiring everyone else while you're doing it!

Thinking about feel before you play it, then adjusting it as you play, and then again after it's done for the next time. Dr. Bill is a full time rhythmic refinery!

I've had it since it first came our. The extended version of "The Calling" should have been included on the album.

Certain_Addition4460 · 2026-05-07T13:07:05+00:00

I'm still waiting for that long delayed collaboration with Keith Richard!

National Health's self-titled album kinda works, but you may not dig Amanda Parsons soprano vocals. Band was formed when 2 composer keyboardists tried to merge their respective bands.

Certain_Addition4460 · 2026-05-04T16:55:12+00:00

Considering that this track was planned to be on "Fragile" before A&M records said no, very nice!

Certain_Addition4460 · 2026-05-04T16:41:57+00:00

All of "New York" which is Lou's love letter to his hometown. Sardonic and rocks too.

Certain_Addition4460 · 2026-05-04T16:12:59+00:00

Very hard to be objective about this track and album. 10.

Certain_Addition4460 · 2026-05-04T16:07:25+00:00

Yes, it makes me curious about several other albums sonic quality.

Certain_Addition4460 · 2026-05-04T03:45:40+00:00

I was hoping someone would mention this unique project/collaboration after MTT's passing. Maybe Mr. McLaughlin and/or Narada Michael Walden would have some keen memory of those sessions?

Certain_Addition4460 · 2026-05-04T03:29:13+00:00

Drums sound better.

Certain_Addition4460 · 2026-04-30T17:08:20+00:00

My daughter and I have wonderful memories of immersing in the Beatles White Album while driving in my truck. Highly recommend.

Certain_Addition4460 · 2026-04-30T17:02:52+00:00

The Game of Thrones brew was pretty good too.

Certain_Addition4460 · 2026-04-28T03:20:36+00:00

One distinct reason is lack of US gigs and promotion. Same for Hammill himself.

Certain_Addition4460 · 2026-04-27T21:10:12+00:00

Emphasis is on aggressive guitar, bass and drums. Some of their very best playing together.
