    I just grabbed this off of Bandcamp and I'm digging it on first listen. The title track, which I'm listening to now, has a definite Canterbury vibe.

    Wow I haven't listened to them in ages. I love everything I have but since I've gone to vinyl, a lot of my digital collection gets lost. Time to change that and give this a well deserved spin.
