Interesting that you removed Robert Wyatt's debut album after somebody voted for it.

Not the best album on the list but certainly better than the 1 star that you offered.

Sometimes certain musical expressions require a great deal of time to comprehend.

Personally i think that Moving Gelatine Plates is the ultimate expression of prog in every form.

One of my fave albums of ALL time :)

You'll find it in the poll for the year it was released, in 1970:)

Although I voted for Fourth I agree. I have so many all time favorites among the Canterbury-scene albums. I were to make my own top 100 (like the one on PA's front page) I suppose five or six of these would end up on it. A couple of them near the top.

I didn't remove Robert Wyatt's debut. It's still there in the previous 1970 poll. Wink

Almost impossible to vote because all the early 70s Canterbury is classic prog gold. My bad! Wyatt WAS 1970 :)

Caravan are right at the front of the queue for a change, instead of holding up all of the bank holiday traffic in a mile-long tailback. Tongue

Caravan
The Wheel of Time Turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the shadow.

Such a good year for Canterbury Scene stuff, but I'll go for Caravan.
Is it any wonder that the monkey's confused?

In situations like this, I went with first love - that is Camembert Electrique.  Notable is Soft Machine's Fourth, which was Wyatt's last with the band.  Some might argue that a lot of Canterbury left with him although Hopper and Ratledge remained. The slow fade of 'Virtually' on side 2 almost sounds like Wyatt silently leaving.  A great album.
