This is overwhelmingly a bang-up job. Thank you for sharing.
The element concerning Canterbury Scene is blocked. This is very good. And, the sensibility shines.
I personally paid attention to the corner under the left side. The woman who appears in "Rotters Club" is writing Album Art of "Third" of Softs. I felt the humour in it.

I love this collage and may change my desktop soon from Yes collage to this.... My interpretation is:
This is a psychedelic kaleidoscopic galaxy of the Canterbury era. Gongs Flying Teapot soaring high above Planet Gong into the stratosphere is inspirational. Soft Machine are lurking behind the supernova, their numbers simply make a statement of their longevity and lack of album titles in those early golden years. The camel looks so at home beside the Gong temple. The colours that swirl in the night sky churn up the Canterbury icons that are hidden in the starburst. Planets hang in space encompassing an era of Canterbury imagery.
Outside the frame many characters spill out. Matching moles and a Rotters Club lady mind their own business and Caravan’s sleeping beauty, resplendent in her magnificence, simply ignores all, including the statuesque figures, and continues her eternal rest. The Rotters Club lady draws a picture of Soft Machine’s ultimate album and other ladies write letters to unknown lovers. Henry Cow's floating sock hangs ominously and incongruously. A beam of light bursts through the clouds and a Holy priest raises his arms in adulation. Hatfield’s villages peer thru the maelstrom and overseeing all is the eye of knowledge that glows brightly like an iridescent beacon, a symbol of hope, lighting up the darkness.

Perfect Timing! I was just starting to get into Canterbury more over the past few weeks, now I feel like listening to it more. (most of your collages put me in the mood for whatever the subject is)
Your collages have been my desktops for some time now, you have a good streak going, keep it up!

you should check their album that I listed. that was the main reason why i made this collage about these bands and the prog sub genre. I believe these bands are very underrated and unappreciated when their albums as great as their most popular rprog rock bands.
Thanks I worked very hard on this one! The Yes one was easy!!!

Thank you Joel. mysterious colours used.?
I guess I most confess that since I started creating collages of different prog genre and bands I had learnt to appreciated them . Even thought in this case I know and I had loved many of the albums for years, but i had listen to some albums for the first time these past months.
I guess my collages encourage me and fan of prog as yourself to investigate and listen or even discover for the first time many great underrated bands and albums.
Thank again!!!
