I'm a mere blot by comparison. The only one I really remember from the cover you showed was Pheadra... and I think that was my favourite album by them for quite a while. 

 

Hi Xochi,

 

Glad you manage to see the thread.

 

Thanks. I am a bit of an addict when it comes to music. When I find a band or artist I like I tend to explore their catalogue. storage is becoming a problem now

Now you are becoming worrying!  

 

There are some of your listism I know but have to ask you to post links about Canterbury, remind me about Pink Fairies and I think Mr Rundgren is some serious metal music, so skip that thank you but!

APPARENTLY .......... The Canterbury scene is largely defined by a set of musicians and bands with intertwined memberships. These are not tied by very strong musical similarities, but a certain whimsicality, touches of psychedelia, rather abstruse lyrics, and a use of improvisation derived from jazz are common elements in their work.[1] β€œThe real essence of 'Canterbury Sound' is the tension between complicated harmonies, extended improvisations, and the sincere desire to write catchy pop songs.” β€œIn the very best Canterbury music...the musically silly and the musically serious are juxtaposed in an amusing and endearing way.” [3] There is variation within the scene, for example from pop/rock like early Soft Machine and much Caravan to avant-garde composed pieces as with early National Health to improvised jazz as with later Soft Machine or In Cahoots. Didier Malherbe (of Gong) has defined the scene as having "certain chord changes, in particular the use of minor second chords, certain harmonic combinations, and a great clarity in the aesthetics, and a way of improvising that is very different from what is done in jazz."[4]
