Talk:Canterbury scene

Untitled

Thanks for your contributions, Nommonomanac... the canterbury scene could probably do with a wiki all of it's own... :-) quercus robur 00:49 16 Jun 2003 (UTC)

I've removed this:

Some of the hybrid music that evolved from the early Soft Machine, most notably Daevid Allen's Gong, and Robert Wyatt's solo work, could be categorized as some of the earliest examples of World Music.

"World music", as I understand it, is a label that gets slapped on just about anything that isn't part of your normal, US/European pop/rock/classical tradition. I would've thought, therefore, that the "earliest example of world music" was probably tapped out by Cain on his brother's ribs, or something like that, predating Gong by several thousand years. --Camembert

Previous edits

I woud like to discuss if a "Trivia" section can be included, maybe we could restore in such paragraph a deleted edit:

Moreover, many of the musicians went to the same school, Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys and played together in the school orchestra and/or choir, for example Mike Ratledge, Robert Wyatt, Brian Hopper and Trevor Evan Jones... et al. Often overlooked is the fact that The Langton was renowned for high academic standards and avante-garde experimentation. The credit for this has to go to the then Head Master, Dr. Christopher Rieu.

More important would be a trustworthy reference to support such claims --LimoWreck 11:40, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Right, if that editor didn't provide us with any source, we can't keep that info. Anyway, if anyone shoulf find such references, we will reconsider this matter again.--Doktor Who 13:37, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

There is a reference in an NME article by Ian MacDonald here (subscription required), which was also excerpted on Pete Frame's Soft Machinery family tree. 2 March 2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.140.170 (talk) 22:16, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Calyx website has moved

http://calyx.club.fr/ has moved to http://calyx.perso.neuf.fr/. I have e-mailed the site maintainer to find out if the directory/subpage structure will be the same in the new URLs (as http://calyx.perso.neuf.fr/index/bands.html and http://calyx.club.fr/index/bands.html seem to indicate). Cheers, BNutzer (talk) 00:02, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. Some of the links I've looked at retain the same structure on the new domain, for example Henry Cow and Henry Cow lyrics, but Dissecting the Cow does not exist on the new domain. I think I'll hold off updating links until you get clarity from Calyx. --Bruce1ee^talk 07:58, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Maybe you should also contact them to emphasize the importance for Wikipedia. BNutzer (talk) 11:59, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

I'll do that. I'll also see if I can identify all the links that don't work on the new domain. Thanks. --Bruce1ee^talk 07:33, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

I've now looked at and updated the Calyx links on all the articles I've worked on, and I've only found this one link (Dissecting the Cow) that does not appear on the new domain. I've left the link as it is for now, but I'll contact Calyx to find out about it. --Bruce1ee^talk 09:36, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

I see http://calyx.club.fr/ is now dead (it redirects to http://calyx.perso.neuf.fr/). This means that the Dissecting the Cow link in Henry Cow is broken. I received no response from Calyx, so what I've done is I've replaced the broken link with a saved page from the Internet Archive, here. --Bruce1ee^talk 13:54, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Neo-Canterbury Sound

Great article here from Bandcamp, worth exploring/fleshing out the genres influence today?
