And now for something completely different. This mix is a collection of instrumental tunes from the progressive rock sub-genre known as The Canterbury Scene.
According to Wikipedia:
The Canterbury scene (or Canterbury sound) was a musical scene centered around the city of Canterbury, Kent, England during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Associated with progressive rock, the term describes a loosely-defined, improvisational style that blended elements of jazz, rock, and psychedelia. The Canterbury scene is largely defined by a set of musicians and bands with intertwined members. "The real essence of 'Canterbury Sound' is the tension between complicated harmonies, extended improvisations..."
The bands often associated with this sound are Soft Machine, Caravan, Gong, Hatfield & the North, Egg, & National Health.
I am not a fan of Canterbury tunes that have vocals, that's why this mix sticks with instrumental tracks.
