5.0 classicSowilei | June 10th 12

these guys are genius. Does this peculiar area, Canterbury, have something magic about music, to deliver so much amazing bands, as Caravan, Soft Machine, Gong? Robert Wyatt is giving a big blow. Out Bloody Rageous is one of the bigger masterpiece of jazz/progressive rock genre, in my opinion.

Soft Machine's THIRD album is not an easy album to listen to. Imagine how difficult it would be to take in all 4 sides of the Yes album TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS in a sitting? This is even more daunting than that! This is highly experimental progressive rock that continually goes in and out of stylistic changes (electronic to jazz-rock) and atonality to short meadows of accessible melody. I can appreciate the level of musicianship required to even compose songs like these. Problem is, this matters little if the end result is to irritate the hell of the listener! Braver souls may want to try and navigate these stormy waters, right after putting TROUT MASK REPLICA away. It almost reminds me of an imaginary jam session between Frank Zappa & King Crimson. Not really my cup of tea though.
