Would anyone like to comment on the Uriel album? I can acquire it easily from the egg archive but it's a tad pricey.

They were a grower on me. The whole album just improves every time, really.

Terrific track to end that album, though I'm not crazy about the "mad" vocals in parts of it done by Martin Cockerham.

Through shipping errors, I have acquired a duplicate copy of the National Health Complete set...in an attempt to be delicate, I would say that anyone "interested" should send me a PM.

I don't have any Spirogyra, I need to rectify that at some point.

Beautiful album. Gaskin's vocals are wonderful and haunting. So far it's getting better with every listen. Thanks again for recommending it.

What are your thoughts on Spirogyra, Pat?

By the way, listened to the Egg debut today and I thought it was excellent. Really love Mont Campbell on vocals, and Clive Brooks delivered some great playing on the record. That other guy that's in the band was pretty good too.

Listen to "In Praise of Learning" next, it's better than "Desperate Straits" and you may enjoy it more.

Thanks, laplace, I've been more excited about music the past few months than ever before in my life - it's been a terrific voyage of discovery, no question about it. Plus my boss looked at my iPod the other day and had the most confused look on his face.

good luck with each of those, NaturalScience. Looking through your previous posts, it's like you've casually ordered a lot of the world's best music in one month o:)

Definitely try News from Babel, the vocals are less silly.

I've got that and "In Praise of Learning" - but I want to play some more of earlier HC before I dive into them. All this stuff is really out of my musical comfort zone - I'm seeing how far I can push. I've been rewarded thus far with Kew. Rhone. and the first two Cow records, so I'll keep going. Totally non-Canterbury but I'm also giving Magma a go.

You'll get used to it. I thought that 'Some Questions About Hats' was the most absurb thing I'd ever heard the first time.

Probably the opposite for me, I much prefer Lisa Herman's style. Vive la difference and all that.

It might not be so much her voice, per se, as the silliness of the music I was listening to ("Desperate Straights") - to be honest, it was a little too absurd for my tastes. But there was one non-silly track where I thought she sounded quite good...damn, can't remember the name of it. (edit: found it, "Riding Tigers")

Dagmar Krause has an...interesting voice, to say the least. Think I'm going to need a good amount of time trying to appreciate it.
