11. Caroline Jago guest mix:

"‘In an urban society, everything connects. Each person’s needs are filled by the skills of many others. Our lives are woven together in a fabric - but the connections which make society strong also make it vulnerable…’ Some time ago I took this sample from the film Threads to add to my track of the same name, which opens the set. The following track is an anagram of apocalypse - but that’s where allusions to the current time end. Can we fortunate ones appreciate life even more, when forced to face our mortality in the midst of a pandemic? I think it is possible. Therefore this is a mix of blissed out beats for sunny somnambulism, to hypnotise and heal. Enjoy the trip..."

a month off

Episode 84 will appear next full moon. I took a month off, as I was busy putting this thing together for my 50th birthday. I'm not sure how long it'll stay up on YouTube, but there's quite a bit of Canterbury-related content if you've got 3.5 hours with nothing better to do...

Also, I've been working on my DJ mixing skills during lockdown. No Canterbury content whatsoever, but if you're looking for hour-long kaleidoscopic mixes of high-quality multi-genre dance music, I'm making one every night and posting them over at my Mixcloud page. There are also hour-long "contemplative" mixes each day (The Cambry Prayer), with occasional Canterbury content, a lot of spiritual jazz, acid-folk, sacred choral music, ambience, minimalism, etc.

errata/clarifications: The horns carried over from Soft Machine's Third to Fourth were Elton Dean (saxes, a full member of the band) and Nick Evans (trombone). Robert Wyatt had been out of hospital for quite a few months by the time of the June 1st, 1974 concert (Rock Bottom had been recorded but not yet released). Irène Schweizer is indeed Swiss. Orlando Allen was actually born in late January 1974, and Gilli Smyth left Gong in July that year. I added some extra Palestrina at the end as this episode turned out to be shorter than planned.
