Been trying to get you to listen to stuff from the Canterbury Scene forever!.. Finally! ❤❤

@MJ1 Год назад

The Canterbury scene was incredibly alive, vibrant and creative. It's starting to make a comeback. Hatfield and the North are another great band from that era.

@63MGB1 Год назад

Finally! Love the Canterbury sound for it's variety, Jazziness, and extreme creativity!

@shyshift Год назад

Dave Stewart plays on every track of this marathon. The guitar player in National Health is Phil Miller from Hatfield and The North where he played with Dave Stewart. Pip Pyle is the drummer in both of those bands.

@peteharper2687 Год назад

Steve Hillage has been one of my favourite guitarists since the mid 1970s. Fish Rising by Steve Hillage is fantastic. National Health will blow your tits off.

@stephenandrewsrealestatevi7138 Год назад

Steve Hillage's solo at the end of Gong's live "You" album.... "Isle Of Everyehere" is off the charts!

@roundabout130 Год назад

Dave Stewart is the keyboard player on the first 4 tracks of this marathon. Hey Nick, you would know Dave's work from his playing alongside Allan Holdsworth on Bruford's One Of A Kind and Feels Good To Me albums. Thanks Nick for yet another fun reaction video. You're the best!!

@jacobtapianieto9655 8 месяцев назад

National Health's "Of Queues and Cures" is such an outstanding album and has been my introduction to the Canterbury Scene thanks to Dave Stewart, who played in Bruford (Allan Holdsworth is one of my musical heroes!).

@sidecardog5244 Год назад

All right! Thanks Roundabout. I know the Khan Space Shanty album, but the rest are "heard of but never heard." I really like Caravan's Land of Grey and Pink, so I need to get into more Canterbury music.

@stefanblue660 Год назад

The most prominent of Canterbury scene were Caravan, Softmachine 1&2 , 3 is a monolith , all after Fusion ,sometimes great , also with Alan Holdsworth on Bundles , and Gong: Flying Teapot is a really great unique album. All much worth a listen. Listen to it since 40 years 😅.

@stephenandrewsrealestatevi7138 Год назад

Flying Teapot is slammin good..

@wendellwiggins3776 Год назад

OH BTW Someday you'll have to hear either or both of the two albums by National Health's previous Canterbury incarnation called HATFIELD & THE NORTH > high quality & sophisticated

@michaeljozwiak25 Год назад

Most outlier music lovers I know, say 68 years-old and younger, do not know anything about the Canterbury scene. I may have made this comment before. In February, 1978, I entered a new record store in the neighborhood next to my neighborhood. The owner saw me browsing the import section, so he gave me a two year-old import catalog. I browsed the catalog when I arrived home. The catalog had all the bands and musicians that you have mentioned. Maybe weeks later an employee was playing a live album of Gong, so I purchased the album. The last three years, I listened to the Canterbury artists that I had discovered in the catalog. The band, Egg, from 1970 to 1972 is great.

@grahamhowes6904 Год назад

Do also check out the earlier HATFIELD AND THE NORTH a pre cursor of NATIONAL HEALTH. I saw EGG, NATIONAL HEALTH live - brilliant! Great improvisers! Always thought you’d love Phil Miller but Dave Stewart always off the charts - he taught composition at Royal Academy of Music for awhile I believe. Quiet Sun! Phil Manzarea from Roxy Music now plays second guitar for David Gilmour’s live band.

@Rolling_Ronnie 11 месяцев назад

Canterbury scene, where to start!! Wilde Flowers was the band that started it all, but you've already covered some of the bands associated with the scene. Caravan and Soft Machine were the first to appear, Soft Machine spawned Gong, Matching Mole and Kevin Ayers and the Whole World (featuring Mike Oldfield). Caravan linked with Camel, Hatfield & The North, National Health etc. and then it all gets mixed together as various members formed different bands.

@stefanblue660 Год назад

National health also mindblowing! Discovered some new gems with you. 😅

@shyshift Год назад

The first National Health is awesome too because of the incredible vocal from Amanda Parsons but every time this band gets on some reaction show it’s always the second album. I love both but prefer the debut. Tenemous Roads and Brujo are masterpieces and sadly get completely ignored.

@shyshift Год назад

I’d add if you’re a fan of Annie Haslam from Renaissance you will also become a fan of Amanda Parsons.

@drumsybatabamboom8022 Год назад

Love National Health! Pip Pyle had a knack for displacing that snare beat.

@grahamhowes6904 Год назад

National Health used to joke that they broke drummers - BILL BRUFORD was in the band for awhile.

@shyshift Год назад

Khan-Space Shanty was another one and done band. Dave Stewart was invited as guest keyboardist because he was still in Egg. Khan broke up and I don’t think they played live.

@pentagrammaton6793 Год назад

Dude, this is all great stuff. Pound for pound, Khan was the greatest band of the Canterbury scene, releasing only one album but fantastic end to end. As far as Egg goes, I've actually been to Newport Hospital 😆

@robinboyes9675 7 месяцев назад

Great your getting into this. Youu have a long road to go down. Hatfield and the North, Gilamesh and so many other Pip Pyle the drummer in a lot of these is also worth a go. But there are so many to find out about. In my youth the Canterbury scene was an area only old hippies and young jazz students found out about, I'd hardly call it a metal in any way.

@yes_head 11 месяцев назад

Awesome stuff. The Arzachel album is a bit more psych than prog, although it WAS 1968 so you can also call it 'proto-prog', just because everyone went on to other prog outfits. But that Arzachel LP is very deep cult stuff. It's the kind of thing some hipster vinyl shop would have displayed because they know 99% of even hardcore vinyl people have never heard it. It's the very first recordings by both Dave Stewart and Steve Hillage, when they were both in college. I also wanted to point out a peculiar trait of a lot of Canterbury recordings is that any lyrics are influenced by Dada-ism, which you can hear in the Egg track.

@shackamaxon512 Год назад

Egg covered the fugue from Bach's famous Toccata and Fugue in D minor. It's one of many examples in Rock of a band imitating the fugue. But in the entire Rock repertoire, there is one example of an actual fugue. Written by Kerry Minnear of Gentle Giant, Moog Fugue may be the sole example of an original contemporary fugue perfomed by a Rock band

@MJ1 Год назад

How about ELP's fugue?

@shyshift Год назад

Egg-Seven Is A Jolly Good Time is a musical Disneyland. It was left off the debut Egg album because it was released as a single which nobody bought. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lzKqWuUqiOI.htmlsi=OzmxDYtxIV37dH-0

@shackamaxon512 Год назад

I love ELP's Fugue. Emerson's a phenomenal pianist. I would expect him to know something about the fugue form. Fugue does have some elements like multiple voices and maybe counterpoint. But technically speaking I'm not sure it conforms to the rules of the fugue. A fugue is a contrapuntal, polyphonic composition for two or more voices. A basic fugue opens with a theme, called the subject, which is the part you hear first. After the subject has been "exposed" second and subsequent voices enter and answer by stating the subject in a different key. The answer might be a new melody. The subject will usually enter multiple times. An episode is a short passage based on some element of the exposition that sets the stage for the next entrance of the subject in a different key. In the development things get complicated. This is where the subject may be restated or answered. The subject must be stated in its entirety. While this is happening the other voices will be answering or playing a new counter-subject. After the final entry of the subject the fugue wraps up in the coda. Often there will be a counter-subject and answer here. That's the basics. Moog Fugue checks all the boxes. It could have just as easily been written by Bach.

@stefanblue660 Год назад

Egg is very nice to listen to , between Caravan and Softmachine , with a funky touch , very nice !

@stefanblue660 Год назад

Fun fact : The Canterbury scene was much influenced by Frank Zappa, especially by Uncle meat King Kong. You hear it, and they played together with him sometimes.

@joshsosa Год назад

Dave Stewart, uno de los mejores tecladistas de la historia del rock progresivo.

@NicknLex Год назад

La verdad increíble 🤟

@webkahmik Год назад

Asi!

@stefanblue660 Год назад

Khan also great! Steve Hillage is a genius! Great solo albums like Fish Rising, L, etc. The problem of these artists, is that they are to complex for the masses.

@wendellwiggins3776 Год назад

great combo . That Egg was insanely cool. Khan 's only LP is brilliant & National Health's both albums also with Dave Steward are simply my favorites of the genre. And then there' is that beautiful ambient oddball song off the Quiet Sun album. In fact it's the song that turned me on to them that I'd heard on a cool 70's compilation album release by Antilles Records. I was shocked to discover that the rest of the album was strangely amazing and completely different with Roxy Music's guitarist Phil Manzenera. BTW you talk a lot on your solo reactions! LOL

@rajaz4054 6 месяцев назад

Guitar work? There is no guitar on Egg's "A Visit To Newport Hospital" or any other Egg track for that matter.. Those solos you heard that sounded like a guitar are actually are from a fuzzed organ. Mike Ratledge of Soft Machine started the whole thing with their first two albums in 1968 and especially 1969 on his Lowery organ. Also on the 1969 album, Hugh Hopper was the first bass player to use a fuzz box on his instrument. As for National Health, Dave Stewart really kicks ass on that wicked fuzzed organ! Of course, Dave was the keyboardist on all of the albums you've been listening to here.

@stephenandrewsrealestatevi7138 Год назад

Try the album In the Land of Grey And Pink by Caravan.. Winter Wine is a good one as is the album's self titled song... Also Nine Feet Underground is great, but it's 22 minutes long...

@Rolling_Ronnie 11 месяцев назад

The Quiet Sun album was recorded 'unofficially' while Phil Manzenara (Roxy Music) was recording his Diamond Head Album. Producer, Muff Winwood (brother of Steve) didn't think the material was good enough, so they just recorded it while he wasn't there!

@MisterWondrous Год назад

Another amazing marathon. I mainly know Canterbury via Hillage and Gong, so thanks for widening my understanding. Syd Arthur is a current band of that tradition, with a great name to boot. "Apricity" is not only a cool song by them, but also a great word and concept...related to the loveliness of warming April. Manzanera was the organist of the Doors, btw.

@michaeljozwiak25 Год назад

The Doors keyboardist’s name is Ray Mazarek. Phil Manzanera played lead guitar with Roxy Music.

Quiet Sun is not Canterbury. It’s Phil Manzanera from Roxy Music and friends. It’s great but nothing to do with Canterbury. Nick you were given bad information.

@NicknLex Год назад

I was not given any info. I just played the song since it was on prog archives under Canterbury Bands. I guess some reviewer messed up haha. Still great music 🎶

@shyshift Год назад

@@NicknLex that’s what I meant. I bought the Quiet Sun lp in 1977. It’s a great album and another one and done. Brian Eno is a guest and he and Phil are on the first 2 Roxy Music albums. They also released a live debut album and band,801 and that’s a masterpiece with a 20 year old Simon Phillips on drums. 801 put out a studio album after that,Listen Now which is great too.

@joshsosa Год назад

Quiet Sun is more close to Canterbury scene than Roxy Music style

@shyshift Год назад

@@joshsosa I agree. But I was referring to the fact that Quiet Sun isn’t FROM Canterbury.

@claywalnum3143 Год назад

The truth is that talent doesn’t count for much in the music business. There are probably millions of great guitarists, many of them as talented as Hendrix, Clapton, Beck, and so on. And you know where these guitarists play? In their basements and probably a local band. They will never make the big time. For the most part, the music industry is interested in only one thing: making money. If people would buy a recording of someone reading a phone book, that’s what the industry would put out. For the most part, the artists that make it are the ones who would do the music whether they got paid for it or not.
