1	In the Land of Grey and Pink (1971) more music like this by Caravan In the Land of Grey and Pink is considered by many to be a pinnacle release from Caravan. The album contains an undeniable and decidedly European sense of humor and charm. In addition, this would mark the end of the band's premiere lineup. Co-founder David Sinclair would leave Caravan to form Matching Mole with Soft Machine drummer and vocalist ... see all copies from $13.34! new only from $13.34!
2	Third [Remastered/Bonus CD] (1970) more music like this by Soft Machine Soft Machine plunged deeper into jazz and contemporary electronic music on this pivotal release, which incited The Village Voice to call it a milestone achievement when it was released. The original vinyl release was a double album of stunning music, with each side devoted to one composition -- two by Mike Ratledge, and one each by Hugh Hopper and ... see all copies from $11.40! new only from $11.40!
3	Feels Good to Me (1978) more music like this by Bill Bruford This is the first solo date by drummer Bill Bruford after the first demise of King Crimson. Feels Good to Me goes far beyond the usual prog rock conceits of its time, and enters fully into the compositional structures and improvisational dynamics of jazz. Here he surrounds himself with various mates from the Canterbury scene -- guitarists Allan ... see all copies from $6.90! new only from $11.13!
4	One of a Kind (1979) more music like this by Bill Bruford Bill Bruford ended his brief affair with U.K. and condensed his original outfit to a quartet, releasing a second album of sinewy, celebratory jazz/rock fusion, One of a Kind. Good-humored twists and turns abound in the music, punctuated by Bruford's steadying if slightly subversive rhythms, Allan Holdsworth's flashes of fire, Jeff Berlin's ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $11.13!
5	Rock Bottom (1974) more music like this by Robert Wyatt Rock Bottom, recorded with a star-studded cast of Canterbury musicians, has been deservedly acclaimed as one of the finest art rock albums. Several forces surrounding Wyatt's life helped shape its outcome. First, it was recorded after the former Soft Machine drummer and singer fell out of a five-story window and broke his spine. Legend had it that ... see all copies from $30.00! new only from $34.59!
6	Camembert Electrique (1971) more music like this by Gong This is a classic, the epitome of the band's early Daevid Allen phase with Ph.P.'s (pothead pixies) in full, blazing glory. In its infancy, Gong was a unique prog rock band that branched out in all directions at once while most other prog bands chose simply one path or another. Camembert Electrique is a testament to that. The band's eclectic ... see all copies from $12.01! new only from $12.01!
7	For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night (1973) more music like this by Caravan After the musical uncertainty of Waterloo Lily, Caravan returned with their most inspired recording since In the Land of the Grey and Pink. The splendidly titled For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night is several steps ahead in terms of fresh musical ideas that wholly incorporate the band's trademark humor within the otherwise serious and ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $17.01!
8	Fourth (1971) more music like this by Soft Machine The Soft Machine's collective skill is hyper-complex and refined, as they are extremely literate in all fields of musical study. Fourth is the band's free purging of all of that knowledge, woven into noisy, smoky structures of sound. Their arcane rhythms have a stop-and-go mentality of their own that sounds incredibly fresh even though it is ... see all copies from $11.24! new only from $11.40!
9	The Rotters' Club (1975) more music like this by Hatfield and the North Hatfield & the North's second LP stands as a high watermark for the prog rock associated with England's Canterbury scene and, while filled with stunning musicianship, demonstrates both the strengths and some of the weaknesses of the Hatfield style. Dave Stewart on keyboards, Phil Miller on guitar, Richard Sinclair on bass and vocals, and Pip Pyle ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
10	Hatfield and the North (1974) more music like this by Hatfield and the North Hatfield and the North were the supergroup of England's Canterbury progressive rock scene, with bassist and vocalist Richard Sinclair from Caravan, guitarist Phil Miller from Matching Mole, keyboardist Dave Stewart from Egg, and drummer Pip Pyle from Gong and Delivery. This brilliant and inventive debut album is a cross between sophisticated, ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
11 view cover	Seven (1974) more music like this by Soft Machine see all copies from $15.27! new only from $15.41!
12 view cover	Conspiracy Theories (2007) more music like this by Phil Miller When Miles Davis and like-minded jazzmen began to express their appreciation of rock (as well as funk) in the late '60s, post-bop gave way to fusion, a revolution that jazz purists and bop snobs were still complaining about 40 years later (much like the aging folk purists who still insist that Bob Dylan never should have gone electric). The fact ... see all copies from $14.13! new only from $14.13!
13 view cover	The Flying Teapot (Radio Gnome Invisible, Pt. 1) (1973) more music like this by Gong Produced by Giorgio Gomelsky, notable for his work with the Yardbirds, Brian Auger, and Magma, this relatively early Gong project is a great representation of the Daevid Allen-era Gong. Though not as intricate as its follow-up companion piece, Angel's Egg, The Flying Teapot is more of a true prog/space rock outing, where hippie-trippy lyrics and ... see all copies from $11.02! new only from $14.82!
14 view cover	In Praise of Learning (1975) more music like this by Henry Cow & Slapp Happy A team-up with Slapp Happy may seem an obvious meeting of minds in 2000, but not at the time (1975) when all they really shared was a Marxist outlook and a record label (Virgin). The two bands had already recorded Desperate Straights, which focused more on songs and Dagmar Krause's vocals. Here, Krause gets one good song, the terrific Kurt Weill ... see all copies from $20.32! new only from $21.04!
15 view cover	Missing Pieces (1996) more music like this by National Health Skip around to any ten-second window on this album and you may think you are hearing a well-rehearsed college band. But, step back and witness the sudden shifts in tempo and musical voice and you know you are witnessing a uniquely successful eclecticism. Most of the material from this superlative British prog rock band was previously unavailable ... see all copies from $15.95! new only from $17.19!
16 view cover	Floating World Live (2006) more music like this by Soft Machine With the release of Floating World Live, as of 2006 there were four CDs on the market -- two studio and two live discs -- representing the peak of Soft Machine's "guitar fusion" years. Bundles and Softs (studio) and Floating World Live and British Tour '75 (live) are all recommended to anyone for whom jazz-rock fusion doesn't cause a breakout in ... see all copies from $14.29! new only from $14.29!
17 view cover	Every Step a Dance, Every Word a Song (2004) more music like this by Bill Bruford/Michiel Borstlap see all copies from $15.27! new only from $20.72!
18 view cover	Cuckooland (2003) more music like this by Robert Wyatt Robert Wyatt's first full-length of new material since 1997's Shleep is no less mischievous, witty, and poignant. As has become his custom, Wyatt offers a set of 16 new songs seemingly composed for a wide array of musicians including Annie Whitehead, Eno, David Gilmour, Tomo Hayakawa, Karen Mantler, Phil Manzanera, Paul Weller, and others he ... see all copies from $16.37! new only from $16.37!
19 view cover	Third (1970) more music like this by Soft Machine The Soft Machine plunged deeper into jazz and contemporary electronic music on this pivotal release, which incited the Village Voice to call it a milestone achievement when it was released. It's a double album of stunning music, with each side devoted to one composition -- two by Mike Ratledge, and one each by Hopper and Wyatt, with substantial ... see all copies from $5.33! new only from $5.33!
20 view cover	Angel's Egg (Radio Gnome Invisible, Pt. 2) [EMI] (2004) more music like this by Gong The successor to The Flying Teapot and precursor to You, Angel's Egg is not your usual progressive rock album. Very quirky, with many, mostly brief compositions, the album is a tad less spacy than Teapot, with just a few psychedelic-inspired lyrics, and it's very technically adept. Angel's Egg opens with a true space rock cut (one of the few on ... see all copies from $11.38! new only from $11.38!
21 view cover	Live at the Fairfield Halls, 1974 (2002) more music like this by Caravan Documented during an era in which U.K. performances by Caravan were few and far between, Live at the Fairfield Halls 1974 is a brilliantly remastered and likewise complete presentation of a concert held just prior to their inaugural tour of North America. Although Caravan had been subjected to several key personnel and managerial alterations in ... see all copies from $18.58! new only from $18.58!
22 view cover	Six (1973) more music like this by Soft Machine The Soft Machine were many things to many people, but to most, the real Soft Machine ceased to exist when founder Robert Wyatt left to work on his conspicuously titled Matching Mole project. This departure is generally credited to the Soft Machine's creative advance away from prog rock and toward jazz fusion. Three years and three records after ... see all copies from $11.40! new only from $11.40!
23 view cover	The Civil Surface (1974) more music like this by Egg After releasing two highly original albums -- their self-titled debut and The Polite Force -- the Egg cracked in 1971, and the trio went their separate ways. In 1974, however, Dave Stewart, Mont Campbell and Clive Brooks reunited and returned to the studio. There they were joined by members of Henry Cow and old friend Steve Hillage, resulting in ... see all copies from $22.89! new only from $25.02!
24 view cover	Joy of a Toy (1969) more music like this by Kevin Ayers As the Soft Machine's first bassist and original principal songwriter, Kevin Ayers was an overlooked force behind the group's groundbreaking recordings in 1967 and 1968. This, his solo debut, is so tossed-off and nonchalant that one gets the impression he wanted to take it easy after helping pilot the manic innovations of the Softs. Laissez-faire ... see all copies from $14.18! new only from $14.18!
25 view cover	Hopper Tunity Box [Cuneiform] (1977) more music like this by Hugh Hopper Ex-Soft Machine bassist Hugh Hopper augments his rather infamous fuzz-bass attack by performing on guitar, recorders, soprano sax, and percussion on this reissue of the original LP. Recorded in 1976 and re-released on CD by Culture Press in 1996 and Cuneiform in 2007, this outing features the bassist's fellow Soft Machine bandmate, saxophonist ... see all copies from $15.63! new only from $15.63!
