Hi Tom. I know Amoeba Split and I already love them! Have you ever listened to Schnauser? I think there are even there a lot of Canterbury features.

"!Ampledeed! is a beautiful Canterbury Scene album. Approve

Spanish band 'Amoeba Split' recently put out an album called 'Dance Of The Goodbyes'. It features many Canterburian traits and is a wonderful listen

I would like to open here a discussion.

Why there aren't new Canterbury bands? Does anyone still playing it in 2014?

The last possible entry was (in my opinion) Homunculus Res, that now is accepted as RPI.

I also proposed another band for Canterbury Scene, they calls "Ampledeed".

Babel is excellent and its "disco rythms" really fun. Big smile

I like the first 2 Cos albums an awful lot, an over all unique band, I'll get around to checking out Babel sooner or later....

Canterbury fan signing on here again after going absent without leave for a number of years. Long story but I am back and confused as ever and loving it.

Just ordered Gilgamesh, and looking forward to giving the thing a good long play(very loud).

Should keep the people next door talking a bit more

Well count me in the appreciation of. Canterbury music. soft machine, egg, Matching Mole & Caravan. Plus many more top bands.

Hey guys, with the passing of Richard Coughlin, maybe give a Caravan album or two a spin today. R.I.P.

I played Live at Fairfield Halls and In The Land Of Grey And Pink. You?

Yeah I've been playing a lot of Caravan too. The debut, in particular, has been in heavy rotation. 'Where but for Caravan would I be' is one of their best tunes imho - it's certainly one of my faves Big smile

Belgian as a language doesn't exist, it's either Flemish (Dutch), French or German. Wink

But... living in Flandres and knowing French too I'm sure that it isn't Dutch/Flemish or German, and it's not French either.

I'm almost sure they're just fantasy lyrics.

Canterbury regulars, what's you opinion on the album Cos - Viva Boma? Been giving it a few spins after buy it recently, and while it's kind of quirky and nice, I don't respond to it as well as oher Canterbury albums.

Opinions/thoughts?

Don't have any, but I'd like to hear yours.

I need a bit of a push to explore this genre of Prog. Haven't done much beyond the Gong trilogy.
Radio Gnome pt 2 I loved.

Tom, the problem is....I can't work out what the hell she is singing! Is she singing in French, is she just singing....`sounds' that flow with the music, or she singing random scat vocals?? It's really doing my head in!

Biggest hurdle I'm facing on that album!

Just think of her as a feminine Christian Vander Wink

Hell there are a fair few Zeuhlish qualities in COS, but then again they first really appeared on the subsequent Babel.
