Night Music is very good, but I prefer Canis Lupus, maybe because of the Ian Mc Donald's Lament.

Good album, but their 3rd album is even better ... Night Music.
 
Sadly, Darryl Way kinda faded after this, and I thought he was a damn good violinist, but it is likely that he got tired of the rock business and music ... his symphony with Francis Monkman was interesting but not something to take home to mom and pop! ... or PA, as I like to say!

Supersister is not Canterbury, I don't think ... it's dutch! Or something like that! And it's more psychedelic than it is canterbury, to my ear, btw!
 
Supersister was a Dutch band from The Hague, Netherlands, playing progressive rock ranging from jazz to pop. The most predominant band members were Robert Jan Stips (keyboards, vocals), Sacha van Geest (flute), Marco Vrolijk (drums) and Ron van Eck (bass).

If I could afford tickets, tonight I could go and see Marshall Allen and Daevid Allen playing a gig together! 
This could be the start of a cosmic new band called something like Gong Arkestra.  If only.

An obscure group from 1974, Sweden's Lotus is a very fine instrumental quintet featuring two guitarists, organ, piano, bass and drums. Their debut album is everything that makes Nordic progressive music special. There's a unique charm contained within the melodies that are distinctly Swedish and recall bands such as Trettioariga Kriget, Kebnekaise, Autumn Breeze and Kultivator.

Dr Wu23, you asked for some modern Canterbury suggestions?

Can't go better than Italy's `Moogg', who put their debut album out last year (or was it late 2011?):

Moogg - Le Ore I Giorni Gli Anni:


Moogg - Classe 21:


Hope you guys enjoy! I posted a rave review for it on the Archives a while back too. Always happy to spread the love of that album!

Sorry, Pierre, I know I've posted these videos several times in the Den!

Good one, Pierre. They remind me a bit of Finnforest too.

Two classic Canterbury tracks right there, my friend Big smile.  Worth seeking out the albums they are from (If I Could Do It All Over Again................ & Waterloo Lily).  And the New Symphonia album is quite superb.  Just listened to it the other evening.

Egg have 3 albums which are, for me, all excellent (if not bang-on perfection).  A Visit To Newport Hospital probably stands out as a fond fave, and Wring Out The Ground (Loosely Now) features one of my top-5 Stewart solos.
BTW - did anyone here ever get into the Dave S / Barbara G material ??  The 'b-side' to 'It's My Party' has a great track called 'Waiting In The Wings' - a super example of Prog-Pop if there ever was one.  Many great tunes to be enjoyed - mainly the Stewart-penned originals, but their covers are fun, too.
 

I love A Visit To Newport Hospital.
As for Stewart / Gaskin: I like It's My Party, and I did wonder if there was anything else worth listening to.
So the Stewart - songs are even better? Sounds interesting?
Well, I have a bunch of DaveBarb 7" singles, some 12" maxi's, an LP and some 4 track clear vinyl promo from 'Up From The Dark'.  Select tracks have Stewart's special touch, not so much 'Canterburian', but the arrangements are tasteful, and he always throws in some choice keyboard solo, sometimes cheezy, sometimes magic.  The dreamy vocals of Gaskin just works wonders too.  Off the top of my head, some tracks which spring to mind - Lenena Crowe, Rich For A Day, The World Spins So Slow, Make Me Promises.  I dunno how 'serious' the pair were with this 80's 'adult-pop' direction, but I always find some quirky elements which suggests it was done in the genuine spirit of fun.
 
Well, I need to give them a try, I think, Dave & Barb.

Tom, think we've discussed before that I thought the first Egg album is very good, only the vocals let it down in some parts. A bit flat to my ears and detract a bit too much for me. Still, good album! What's the name of that `experimental' piece on `The Polite Force'?! The third track, I mean! Oh, I think that's a total waste of time, pure filler nonsense! Wish they'd just let it off the album altogether, the rest on it's own would have made it almost faultless! And yes, I think the vocals are a big improvement on the second album!
BOILK !!!  Mellotron madness, avant-garde noodling, and a Bach rendition on the organ to wrap it up.  I appreciate it.


Boilk is my favorite thing on TPF.
