Canterbury Sans Frontières: Episode 82

A Kevin Ayers song perfectly suited for the currently locked-down Canterbury, a '67 Soft Machine B-side, Dave Stewart fusioning out with Bill Bruford and Alan Holdsworth, classic Gong from '71, Matching Mole riffing on Caravan in early '72, Caravan working on something new in early '73, something cosmic from Harmonia in '74 and Hatfield in the studio in '75. Also, some early 80s Czech chamber-prog, a new release from Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith and Canterburyesque sounds from both Billy Bottle and the Multiple and Barcelona's Magic Brother & Mystic Sister. From the Canterbury area of now, Lapis Lazuli recorded live with the legendary Damo Suzuki late last year, a new EP from Koloto, fresh soundtrack work from Raven and something beautiful from Frances Knight's forthcoming album.
