Canterbury Scene

Recorded in London in 1967, Jet Propelled Photographs is a re-issue of the first recordings made by one the U.K.'s seminal psychedelic and Canterbury bands.

Originally intended as demos for the group's projected first album, the musical importance and historic significance of these recordings is undisputed, representing as they do the only recordings made by the group's original line-up of Robert Wyatt, Daevid Allen, Kevin Ayers and Mike Ratledge.

'Jet Propelled Photographs shows why The Soft Machine sounded comfortable alongside Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd. A rough curio, but high on the list for Canterbury connoisseurs.' ('The Rough Guide To Rock').

Recorded in late 1973, 'You' is the final instalment of Gong's highly regarded 'Radio Gnome Invisible' trilogy, and is considered to be the most sophisticated and best produced album in the band's history.

It was the last Gong album made before the departures of both its founder member and driving force Daevid Allen and its legendary guitarist Steve Hillage, who was soon to embark on his highly successful solo career.

This is the Charly label edition.

Anglo-Dutch band the Relatives formed in the late 1980s, when Jack Monck and Willem Jan Droog met in London.

Both had been involved in and influenced by the UK's Canterbury scene bands. Jack played in Delivery with the Miller brothers and Pip Pyle, collaborated with members of Henry Cow and worked with the legendary Syd Barrett, while Willem had led the band Slipover in Holland.

Trans Europ Connection was recorded between September 2006 and May 2007 and features a combination of original songs and instrumentals.
