| Description : | 648 pageshardbound - Rigid cover - English
This book looks back on the golden years of the music scene that emerged out of Canterbury, Kent, in the late 1960s, spearheaded by Soft Machine and Caravan and their various offshoots,including Gong, Kevin Ayers and the Whole World, Robert Wyatt's Matching Mole, Hatfield and the North and National Health, and related bands like Egg and Gilgamesh. Musically at the meeting point between pop, progressive rock, electric jazz and modern classical, it brought together musicians from very diverse backgrounds, who together produced a unique musical blend of complexity and melody, perfectionism and British humour, carefullystructured compositions and forays into joyous anarchy. 648 pageshardbound The author, Aymeric Leroy, founded Calyx, a website devoted to the Canterbury Scene, in 1996, and has written liner notes for many archival releases, many of them for Cuneiform Records. In his native France, he has so far published five books on progressive rock, Pink Floyd, King Crimson and Yes, and this, his fourth, is the product of 15 years of research and interviews with many of thescene's protagonists. | |
