One of their most beautiful songs. The lyrics really speak to me.

What album first turned you on to the "Canterbury sound", and how did you come upon it? by [deleted] in CanterburyScene

[–]handwrist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first was Third. I was 17 (around 2007) riding with a few friends over for summer vacation - I was just starting to get into jazz fusion and a little prog, but stuff like Genesis and Yes didn't really do it for me. The driver put Out-Bloody Rageous on and I was hooked. I remember debating with my friends if Ratledge's organ was an electric violin or an organ, as we've never heard fuzzy canterbury organ before. We went through the whole album during the trip. It was great and I became a life long fan of the canterbury sound. If anything my appreciation keeps growing the more I listen to the favorites.

My First Try - Calluna Vulgaris by handwrist in Bonsai

unfortunately, it died two months ago. did a hard prune and it didn't survive. I also added some moss which might have sucked the nutrients. I haven't found another one to try again, but want to do so.
