A big thank you for these podcasts. I'm working my way through all of them. It's great to hear such a range of Canterbury related music intelligently sequenced and commented on...
Great work.
A couple of things that might make it to another ep, if you're up to it, are Daevid's University of Errors, particularly 'Jet Propelled Photographs CD, and the electronica band Ultramarine who's 'United Kingdoms' CD features Robert Wyatt, Jimmy Hastings and a version of 'Signed Curtain'.
Anyway thanks again.
Rob.
