Canterbury Soundwaves

Some of Dave Sinclair's finest work playing live with Caravan, Matching Mole and The Polite Force, plus Egg on the BBC, an early Gong lineup on French TV, Robert Wyatt and the Soft Machine horns playing with the Keith Tippett Group, MC Quasimoto rhyming over an unlikely Gong loop, Lol Coxhill jamming with a bagpiper and a string of Canterbury-influenced sounds from Japan, Italy, Finland and Canada. New sounds from the area too, including Syd Arthur, Zoo For You and Robert Stillman.

A tribute to bass legend Hugh Hopper (1945-2009), from teenage home recordings via the Daevid Allen Trio and Wilde Flowers to Soft Machine, Isotope, Gilgamesh, Soft Heap, Soft Head and beyond. Featuring Hopper classics and obscurities, as well as something from one of his favourite albums, covers of his compositions (even a hiphop beat!), numerous collaborations, an exploration of his involvement in the genesis of tape looping in the early 60's, interview clips, a rare chance to hear Hugh singing(!) and the current sounds being made with his famous Fender Jazz bass (still resident in the Canterbury area).
