Oooh, Canterbury scene gold. I should revisit this.

[satiemaniac]

never heard a bad Canterbury scene record. the only canon i can get behind 100%

[Hammy]

yeah can't really go wrong with anything Canterbury Scene, i think the individual personalities of the composers really shine on these tracks, especially love the electronic tape loop effects on the intro and outro of Out-Bloody-Rageous, also Wyatt's track is best. best ever jazz-fusion record for me. if anyone likes this one then check out Gong, Caravan, Hugh Hopper's solo work, Art Bears, Henry Cow, Egg and Kevin Ayers etc.
