Album Notes & Community Reviews
Recorded as a tribute to keyboardist Alan Gowen following his premature death, 'D.S. al Coda' reunited former members of the pioneering Canterbury scene outfit. The project consists entirely of Gowen's unrecorded compositions, meticulously arranged by his surviving peers. It functions both as an emotional homage and a final virtuosic statement from the long-running progressive collective.
