April 5th. Bit of a stretch to call it part of RIO !
April 5th. Bit of a stretch to call it part of RIO !
A little Rotters' Club for me this morning, and some Hugh Hopper on deck while I wait for my wife to sleep off her staff party hangover. Last night was a savage, Canterbury CD-ripping/playlist-making free-for-all where caution was thrown to the wind, and my neighbours got a loud, healthy dose of Joy Of A Toy and the MGP debut album (I hope they appreciated the lengthy drum solo)!
Thought you guys might like to see this Instagram post, just for fun!

Agreed,
Completely overrated concept.
Has it been released? Definitely been looking forward to this one, but it slipped off my radar.The album by Greaves Life Size is brilliant! I highly recommend it to all greavanados here!
I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.
Yeah, really.

Maybe not really Canterbury, but I just got Robert Wyatt's Comicopera in the mail today and I'm looking forward to hearing it.
Where to buy it? Doesn’t appear to be available from Manticore. I am greaving...The album by Greaves Life Size is brilliant! I highly recommend it to all greavanados here!

Hmmm that will cost €31 with postage.
Yeah, it was costly... but it is Greaves!

Bought (damn it)!Yeah, it was costly... but it is Greaves!
I'd say it's fairly Canterbury and fairly good, although not as profoundly so as Shleep or Cuckooland. And although he may play scorch on his sax, Gilad Atzmon remains a dubious inclusion - and is still no Evan Parker, who graces Shleep with his presence.
But Comicopera was certainly a worthy career-closer. Yet I'm glad '68 became his final actual statement, as it kinda rounds up things.

This new one from Rascal Reporters is very Canterbury:

And also their latest full length album The Mind Boggles from 2008, very much an ultra-avant Canterbury vibe:

Thanks! Great to actually see the legend as an actual corporeal being! I hope he's enjoying his life and legacy.
Hello Gang!.
In the mood for a good "Canterbury" made in La Coruña, Spain: time for some "Amoeba Split`s Dance Of The Goodbyes (2010) + Second Split" (2017):

There are two kinds of music. Good music, and the other kind. ∞
Duke Ellington.
Well, today I listened to that first Matching Mole CD again, and the bonus disc. Not sure why, but that's got to be a top 5 Canterbury album for me.
Also: I just realized I need more Henry Cow, pronto!
In the meantime, on to Hatfield.
Really like those Amoeba Split discs. Very nice stuff.
I didn't realize how many years there were between them though. Crazy!
Because it's a great album!
Played both Hatfields yesterday. I was commenting elsewhere about how there are certain albums which never fail to amaze, no matter how many times you've heard them. Both are solid examples.
