| I would vote for Soft Machine's second, Arzachel and Joy of a Toy as my top three if I could. I've been called a softy before, but not where it matters because I have rock hard love for music. For the joy of the toy, I vote for Soft Machine's second. |

Arzachel aren't officially listed as Canterbury Scene either, but they're just too good to leave out.

I love Arzachel more than the others. Yogsototh is the only HP Lovecraft inspired song that really makes it. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

Kevin Ayers for me... a very quirky album. ------------- Is it any wonder that the monkey's confused? |

| Arguably the Soft Machine debut was the first Canterbury album, recorded in NYC! |

| Caravan. That debut album from 1968 is a superb gem of the early Canterbury scene, showcasing Richard Sinclair's enchanting vocals, lovely tunes featuring flute, and that dreamy and pastoral atmosphere, while simultaneously marking the first-ever printed mention of the term "progressive rock" in its liner notes, making it both a musical and historical milestone for the genre. |
