Talk:Canterbury scene

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

[edit] 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 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)
