Album Notes & Community Reviews

Captured at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, this ambitious project pairs the whimsical, jazz-inflected Canterbury Scene pioneers with a full orchestral ensemble. The lush string arrangements beautifully augment their complex, quintessentially English progressive rock suites without overwhelming the band's core instrumental identity.
