	Canterbury Scene: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
		The Canterbury Scene (or Canterbury Sound) is a term used to loosely describe the group of progressive rock musicians that were based around the town of Canterbury, Kent, England during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
		The scene had its roots in the Wilde Flowers[?], a band formed in 1964 which, at various times, was home to the founding musicians of both the Soft Machine[?] and Caravan[?], bands which in turn provided the musicians of several later bands.
		The genesis of the Canterbury Sound may, in part, be traced back to 1960, when Australian beatnik Daevid Allen[?] lodged at Robert Wyatt[?]'s parents' guest-house in Lydden[?], ten miles to the south of Canterbury.

	Rotters' Club - Le Correnti del Prog: Canterbury
		Canterbury is a small town in the English county of Kent, about 90 Kms far from London, famous for its cathedral and for The Canterbury tales by G.
		Canterbury is also famous from a musical point of view just because in the 60's it was laid the foundations of a musical genre which, even if for few loving estimators, will be one of the most interesting representatives of the musical "progress" that exploded in the 70s.
		Many bands were included in the Canterbury scene because of their musicians or influences in their compositions.

	Canterbury Scene artists/bands list
		A fraternal collective of musicians clustered around the Kentish tourist town that is home to the Church of England's Archbishop, the Canterbury Scene provided the cradle for a half-dozen of the most freewheeling British bands of the post-psychedelic era.
		By the early '70s however, a series of fragmenting lineup changes and the subsequent formation of new bands soon multiplied the force of the Canterbury scene.
		By the mid-'70s, many of the remaining Canterbury bands had progressed from psychedelic and prog-rock to embrace extended fusion jams with few lyrics.

	Pilgrims' prog rock \| \| Guardian Unlimited Arts
		Perhaps, once the neuropsychologists have had their say, we should then invite the musicologists along to decide what the "Canterbury scene" really is. Roughly speaking, it refers to a loose network of musicians that evolved out of a band called the Wilde Flowers, active in Canterbury in the mid-1960s.
		To realise, in the mid-1970s, that you were a Canterbury music fan was to condemn yourself to a barren and solitary musical path.
		A few weeks ago, Pip Pyle, whose tirelessly inventive drumming had been one of the cornerstones of the Canterbury scene, died unexpectedly in a Paris hotel, shortly after playing a triumphant gig with the latest incarnation of Hatfield and the North.

		This phenomenon explains why there is a 'Canterbury Sound' at all.
		Another peculiar aspect of the 'Canterbury Sound', and the tendency towards complex structures and lengthy improvisations, is the use of the vocals, delivered in very 'British' manner, with absolutely no attempt to ape American blues and pop singers.

		Although it emerged in the late 1960s concurrent with American counterparts who were also investigating a fusion of jazz with a rock sensibility, the British Canterbury scene has always retained a distinct complexion.
		By contrast, many of the Canterbury scene’s leading lights, including Soft Machine’s Hugh Hopper and Mike Ratledge, came from a background in pop and were influenced by contemporary classical composers like the minimalist Terry Riley.
		It was this pop sensibility, despite an often idiosyncratic context, that elevated many Canterbury groups to legendary status amongst fans of both progressive rock and fusion.

	FORGAS BAND PHENOMENA / CUNEIFORM RECORDS
		The Forgas Band Phenomena is led by composer and drummer Patrick Forgas, who has been hailed as "the French answer to the Canterbury scene" since he first burst upon the scene in 1977 with his "Cocktail" album, which featured members of Magma and Zao.
		Due to bad luck and bad circumstances, he fell out of the music scene for a great number of years, re-emerging with the very wonderful Forgas Band Phenomena about a decade ago.
		In addition to the many Canterbury comparisons, I also hear a lot in common with the band that Frank Zappa led with George Duke and Jean-Luc Ponty; great tunes and arrangements in a fusion style with excellent 'jazz' soloing.

		In the final few minutes the English Canterbury scene returns to the track, after its more jazzy middle part.
		Canterbury and Akkerman (in his early jazzrock days) are the main guiding lights for this album which also enjoys some interesting Japanese vocals to give the music at times a Zeuhl feel (although the music never becomes dark or heavy).
		This is not so usual in the case of Canterbury and/or jazzrock.

	Todd Dillingham - Free Music Downloads, Videos, Lyrics, CDs, MP3s, Bio, Merchandise and Links
		The link between the classic Canterbury Scene of the '70s and the D.I.Y. psychedelic pop scene of the '90s, Todd Dillingham is a one-of-a-kind artist.
		Dillingham's association with Voiceprint, a label associated with the '70s Canterbury Scene spearheaded by the Soft Machine and Hatfield and the North, began in 1991, when Caravan keyboardist Richard Sinclair invited Dillingham to record an album with himself, drummer Andy Ward (Camel), and reedman Jimmy Hastings (Caravan, Soft Machine, National Health).
		The resulting Wilde Canterbury Dream received rapturous reviews among prog rock diehards, but Dillingham's next two releases were a pair of more immediately accessible psychedelic pop EPs in the style of XTC's Dukes of Stratosphear side project: the Norwegian release A Dash of Haddock (1993), and the German release Arthur Woodcote (Is His Name) (1994).

		Recorded at the Manor with a co-production credit by Dave Stewart, Gilgamesh was issued by the Virgin Records budget-line imprint Caroline in August 1975, and this is where most listeners first became aware of Gowen.
		Most of the album's compositions were penned by the keyboardist, and display some hallmarks of the latter-day Canterbury style, particularly a combination of lightness, complexity, and melodicism along with a somewhat cerebral rather than visceral attitude -- not a recipe for mass popularity during an age of ascendency for punk and disco.
