Ermmm...wait, is this the guy from METALLICA and his solo album? Wow, I'm impressed!

Now, keep it serious. Canterbury is one of the most serious genres as you know. So, let me begin. HatN is NATIONAL HEALTH/ CARAVAN/ GILGAMESH-related band and it's a shame I heard this one only after hearing all the above-mentioned bands. HatN is not that weird like GILGAMESH and not that jazzy like NH. The closest companion here is CARAVAN (nevertheles with some elements of NH). Such songs like opening "Share It" and "Didn't matter anyway" represent HatN at its best I think - this subtle and intelligent English manner is typical Canterbury. Excellent. The long thing here, the legendary 20 minutes of "Mumps" is overfilled with humor and shows further road NH will later walk on.

After all, excellent album and extremely recommended to every Prog collection. Why not 5 stars? Well, actually, this is not the kind of music I'd listen to daily. But great anyway. Enjoy!
