This month, Needlepoint—my fave band from Norway—released yet
another excellent album in the tradition of the Canterbury scene,
"Remnants of Light." This is the closing track on the album. |

Admittedly, I didn't know until today that someone from Canterbury was known as a Cantuarian either, so thank God for Google.

A smiling red devil for a naughty lame joke. That's all. I've already admitted my mistake.

It seems he's right and i made a lame joke. It still sounds weird to me ("Cantuarians" for a person from Canterbury).

People born in and around Canterbury are known as Cantuarians, so presumably, the Archbishop of Canterbury doesn't qualify as a Cantuarian.

"Cantuarians by birth"?! I don't know what that means.

In contrast to numerous "Canterbury" artists who might not have
even visited that town, The Boot Lagoon's members are Cantuarians by
birth. |

Discovered Hatfield and the North, Gong , Caravan and Soft Machine in the early to mid 70s.
By the late 70s and early 80s I was buying Robert Wyatt albums. Matching Mole, Egg, Gilgamesh, Soft Heap, and others. Bill Bruford Feels Good To Me seemed to fit in with what people were defining as Canterbury. Another album that sounds rather Canterbury to me is Michael Giles Progress which features a couple ex members of Caravan. It's an excellent album! I don't believe that the band Camel agree with being categorized Canterbury...however if you listen to SUPERTWISTER from Mirage and certain pieces from Snow Goose and Moonmadness it is telling. Especially material from Rain Dances. Not only because Richard Sinclair is singing , but also the instrumental pieces reveal those similarities heard in Canterbury bands |

I've discovered that the kind of Canterbury Scene music which appeals to me the most comes from much farther to the east than England's green and pleasant garden county of Kent.
DE LORIANS It's back to the future for this oriental band of rising sons who are about as far away from Canterbury's dreaming spires as it's possible to be, although very close musically.   2019: De Lorians - De Lorians - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l4P6843FPmG_75z1t37iZs9N4dIAR5VGsHENRYTENNIS Banzai! HenryTennis are an instrumental Canterbury Scene band who are almost as far removed from Canterbury as it's possible to be and if you Nippon down to your local record store you're unlikely to find their albums there. Need any more clues as to where HenryTennis are from? They're from the land that first introduced suicide pilots to the world. No, not Saudi Arabia, but Japan, for those with long enough memories.   2022: HenryTennis - Bay Leaf and Singers - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lLf5iiJXcqLrHFMBwWaacUw4Qfqq0J0xwMOLESLOPE Be kind to moles as you just never know what hidden treasure you may unearth, but only if you happen to be digging around in Tokyo. Yes, this band of rising sons (and a woman from Tokyo too) are a band I can really dig and they're a welcome improvement over their inspiration and namesakes: Matching Mole. 2019: Moleslope - Slope - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afPFRAzn5lAMR. SIRIUS Konnichiwa! Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. So bright in fact that you can see it all the way from Japan, and that's where you'll find Mr. Sirius - the brightest rising sons (and daughter) in the Canterbury Scene. Mr. Sirius cleverly combines classical music with the best melodic prog of Camel and The Enid, and with the added attraction of an angelic female vocalist too, creating the perfect blend of Symphonic Prog and Canterbury Scene music.   1987: Mr. Sirius - Barren Dream - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDfZo7wThFw 1990: Mr. Sirius - Dirge - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZAi2zyNLdYSTUBBS The Japs may not be prime movers in the Canterbury Scene, but they're no lumps of lard either. 1985: Stubbs - The Prime Moving Lumps - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luqJTY7SIzg |

"Going Off Topic" by The Filibuster Saloon is very nice. This live-in-studio video features an instrumental off that 2023 album. |

^Glad you liked them! As for the two first Egg-releases, for me Moving Gelatine Plates two first albums scratches a similar itch (make sure to stop when the totally out of place bonus tracks starts. They ruin the mood). Great, fun, "French Canterbury"

For someone who adores the first 2 Egg releases, I heard nothing there that reminded me of them. Perhaps I need another listen...do you know which song(s) led you to make that observation? I would be interested. Yeah...you see, I just can't get into these modern prog bands embracing both the "classics" and the modern pop sound. It all comes off sounding pretentious and samey to me. Sorry Having said that, we all hear things differently

Zopp took some listens and when someone said they sound like Egg that actually helped me appreciate what was going on there.
I'm pretty stoked about Zopp, Tom Penaguin, De Lorains and The Winstons. All modern bands embracing that canterbury sound. |
