^ perhaps, I shouldn't get so emotional about such things, it's all music after all. I do sense a much stronger Zappa influence from these bands than anything "Canterbury" per se. YMMV

Yeah, Moving Gelatin Plates to my ear sound much closer to Zappa than to any "Canterbury" band. Heck, the cover art for their second album is a direct reference to Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica (produced by Frank Zappa).

No worries i agree about lumping bands like MGP and Supersister under the 'Canterbury' heading.. i was aware of both bands before i came on PA and as far as i was aware these bands prime influence was Frank Zappa and the Mothers of invention after their early tours of Europe and Scandinavia, possibly along with Soft Machine.. Does it bother me? no. Actually i prefer Supersister to MGP but do just like that Early European avant-Jazz-Progressive sound generally

^ haha, could not have summed it up better! I, frankly, still cannot digest Warrior after countless tries. "Where Have I..." all the way! Hate to say it, but you mentioned a band I do not have any use for: MGP. Does it have Canterbury aspects: sure! Is it Canterbury: NO! I hate drawing boundaries on music, but anything proclaiming to be capital C without that "British whimsy" flavor is not it. This band is the perfect example. Supersister did a much better job! Having said that, Genius Hans, inconsequentially.

Ooh, definitely 'Where have i known you before'... much prefer the 'space' in the music.. has a lot more charm. i feel 'Romantic Warrior' is just too 'Busy'; it's flashy but flat...

^Anybody wanna take a stab at the less likely matchup of the early WR catalog; for lack of familiarity, I may just post the obvious... _____________________________ or Edited by Zappastolethetowels - October 26 2024 at 15:36 |

^ Yeah, I tried staying with the jazz-funk theme for those two, however, I don't even know which one I would stack against Big Fun? Jack Johnson, maybe? Let's get someone else to give their choice and present their duo please.

Like both and Get Up With It is one of my very favourite albums (Big Fun is another particular fave of mine), but I'd rather someone else present a duo in lieu of me if any are interested. |
