Running With Spoons
Oct 26, 2005
Only the spoon knows what is stirring in the pot
I love the Canterbury Scene.

“The real essence of 'Canterbury Sound' is the tension between complicated harmonies, extended improvisations, and the sincere desire to write catchy pop songs.”
“In the very best Canterbury music...the musically silly and the musically serious are juxtaposed in an amusing and endearing way.”


The easiest band to get into would be Caravan

Most of the songs you'll find on youtube are their catchiest and most pop songs, so that might turn off some of the people in this thread, but everyone should really check out, at the very least, In The Land of the Grey and Pink


I also really like Soft Machine.
The band gets really fusion-y after a few albums.
Some might not like Robert Wyatt's vocal style, but I really enjoy it and his idiosyncratic lyrics.
Here's Moon in June from the Third album
