When I worked in a record store in the mid/late 70s, Soft Machine, Egg, Hatfield and the North, Caravan and others were referred to as being part of the Canterbury Scene/Sound by the UK and US rock...
I enjoy all 3 albums to varying degrees, but I’m not hearing the progressive element as generally understood here, or anywhere else, IMHO. Referring to “Monet’s” post.
This is another great anthology.
R.I.P. to one of the greats.

I’ll definitely be picking this up.
Happy Days is their most psychedelic offering.
“It Has To Be” is particularly lysergic.
There’s a great sort of composite interview with various band members...

A bit of an outlier but it does qualify…
Hi, I just thought I’d mention that the band I’m in, Kohoutek released a new album a couple of months ago.
It’s available through a number of sources…
Here are a few links and info:

I’m glad to see Distant Horizons getting some positive mentions here. When I talked to Ron Tree about it, he said that pretty much the entire album was unfinished and was closer to being in demo...

A 20 month wait to announce a strategy? Good luck. I understand not jumping to an errant conclusion. But we don’t all have nearly 2 years to wait.
This is actually from Alan Ginsberg’s poem “Howl”...
I’m pretty sure that Lisa actually quotes a part of it on a Simpsons episode!
That doesn’t sound terribly reassuring.
Quite possibly because it’s what works in these countries.
:roll JFC
Gabriel set a (very strong) precedent for the band to have a front man. They did audition other lead singers before deciding to simply have Collins front the band.
I can’t second this recommendation enough.
Unfortunately how you brush your teeth and most everything else is seen this way.
Sad news. R.I.P.
I was a little surprised that “The Bewlay Brothers” was omitted.
It seems like the key words may be “commercially release”.
Perhaps some can be obtained for a small donation or tithing...
Well, “we” are probably not the target audience for such a release. I’m thinking it’s more geared to people who are dipping their toes into more “out” sounds via labels like Finders Keepers, Light In...

Well, it seems like a sense of unity, self control/discipline and rationality is present.
Attributes that seem less present in the US at this time.
I’m glad to see that the gofundme effort has done well.
A band I am in played there a few years ago and it was a great venue.
Oh no....this I can’t believe...

Completely agree.... and the raggedy blown out vocals at the end add a rough intensity that makes you feel like you are there.
A lot of people comment negatively about PG’s voice being shot but it...
I was at this show. I was a senior in high school and worked at a local chain record store (National Record Mart) in western Pennsylvania at nights and weekends. We sold tickets for concerts and...
Yes I was pretty sure it was him, ha. I have seen “Sunset Wading” around but never heard it. I might YouTube it later for a listen.
If this John Perry is the guitar player from The Only Ones, then I’d love to hear him and Ant collab. ;)
At a certain point, the reactive pablum of “having to hear all sides of the story” is basically a soft pedaling of defending the indefensible.
That doesn’t serve any greater good or promote...
I was certainly pretty gobsmacked the first time I saw it. And still am, many views later!
Yes, it definitely is, and the delay on the drums during the final outro makes an already dramatic piece a towering work.

For sure. I lived in the U.K. from late 79-84 and this is definitely the case, with NME probably the worst/most vitriolic.
Here is the poster from the festival: 14110
I saw some of this at the time, but I kinda felt it was more a kind of distancing than dismissal, being that they were not only retooling their sound but also their image for the 80s and beyond. A...
I felt like the set pretty much flowed in a way that was shaped by the instrumental lineup, which harkened in sound back to their debut. The folky elements were at least as prevalent as their...

I’ll see if my wife took any pictures. I checked and I didn’t.

I had very high expectations and hopes for the show and they were...
R.I.P.
Terrific front man, singer and performer.
They released a 3rd album in 2016, appropriately titled “Space & Time” which is also quite good and very much along the lines of the 80s efforts.
Seeing the thread about The Revolutionary Army of the Infant Jesus brought to mind this interesting duo, who I think might appeal to the fans of RAIJ.
Deux Filles were basically a duo comprised of...
Really superb band.
I was fortunate enough to see a rare live show by them at the Woolf II festival in Wiltshire last June.
Mesmerizing and powerful performance made all the more ideal by the fact...
You are abundantly blessed with the gift of understatement. Or is that a contradiction in terms?

Speechless.
It’s funny...As of late I have been using some of my stay at home time to go through old “stuff” of mine...music related and otherwise and I came across a ton of old record dealer catalogs and there...
Wait, wait....are you saying that they succumbed to the curse of the happiness machine???
Oh....I am really sad to hear this. Will definitely be playing some Stranglers in memoriam.
RIP
Thanks for posting. What an awesome band they are.
I really love “In Babelsberg” from this album. Hammill sounds really energized and intense and the band is locked in behind him with that VdGG sense of “precise chaos” that they harness so well.
I absolutely agree.

I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
This is actually a pretty good album. Despite the obvious religious aspect, I don’t get a terribly preachy vibe from it and they manage to combine the more electric moments of 70’s Steeleye...
I thought that this piece was interesting from a sort of historical perspective.
I know that David Thomas is a massive VdGG/Hammill fan.

Thanks for the reply
Which university in Iowa are you at? Thanks. My stepdaughter is at the University of Iowa with her bf who is doing post grad there.
Maybe reimagined as a duet with Dolly...
“Careful With That Axe, Jolene...”
It’s ok. Not revelatory, not terrible.
Kinda coffeehouse/bookstore plus.
WYWH seems to be the de facto PF song for anyone and everyone to cover these days.
