I continue to be a fan of the scene up until the present day (my last pre-lockdown gig was the excellent Soft Machine).  I have seen many of these musicians post-1970s but their recorded output tends to be patchy and sporadic - much as I love them and I keep returning to their 70s prime.


Well, the output may be patchy and sporadic (with many), but that doesn't mean that there haven't been great Canterbury Scene and CS related albums throughout the decades. For a big name in the Canterbury Scene, I've loved a lot of Robert Wyatt's albums throughout the years. By the way expect some of your choices to be picked on as to whether they are Canterbury scene related enough to warrant representation.

I read somewhere that National Health's 'Of Queues and Cures' was the last, great Canterbury album of the 1970s.  I want to put that one to the test with the learned membership of Prog Archives.
