^ Michael !! Pascale Son is gorgeous. Just listen to the long track 'L'idiot Leon' 3 times in a row, like I did when I got the CD !! (- Yeah, LP's of it are waaaaay expensive) - just a simply adorable album. I've got a John Greaves LP with Pascale singing on it and I found it intriguing.

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! |

Perhaps Belgian ?? Flemish scat or something ?? I like weird vocals. I'd go and spin it right now although I'm, you know, appreciating a bit of silence for a few days......

Just think of her as a feminine Christian Vander Hell there are a fair few Zeuhlish qualities in COS, but then again they first really appeared on the subsequent Babel.

Totally random...and AWESOME!
Hey guys, with the passing of Richard Coughlin, maybe give a Caravan album or two a spin today. R.I.P. |

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. |

Nick, give the album a sample here and see for yourself:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lK8AMMPyPPk I'm starting to warm to it, got my CD of it in the car now for extended listens! Edited by Aussie-Byrd-Brother - December 10 2013 at 03:26 |

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

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 |

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 |

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....

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

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". |
