^ 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.

No worriesSmile 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 generallyBig smile

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).

^ 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

^ Really, the OP said that the picks must be from the same artist, but I will pass the caveat that different artists can work IF they apply to the rest of the criteria. The two listed are from different periods, but share style and the so-called symphonic-prog revival cred

^ well it would have been an easy pick for Genius Loci if that had been offered. I don't know those others well, maybe listened once and that's it.

Anyway, move on...
