Canterbury Sans Frontières: Episode 69

A Robert Wyatt track I thought I'd never play (check out the band!), some forgotten spiritual jazz from mid 70's Boston, MA, Gong futuristically remixed by Hillage in '97, Lindsay Cooper and friends (including Hugh Hopper) in Volgograd, Russia '91, Kevin Ayers and Ollie Halsall ripping it up at the Rainbow in '74, Pink Floyd's Richard Wright shining brightly before an assembled multitude in a Polish dockyard shortly before his passing, Mother Superior, the only all-female 70s prog band, some more Haiku Salut and a tribute to Mark Hollis (RIP). From the Canterbury of today, new solo work from Josh Magill of Syd Arthur — who also contributed an excellent one-hour guest mix — plus ambient/drone works from Richard James Blyth and nør løve, and some groovy psychedelia from Paisley Mess.
