Errata/clarifications: Facelift fanzine ran from 1989-1999 (you can find more info here). I forgot to mention that the Daevid-like vocals on the live Paragong track were provided by Tim Blake. And the video of Soft Machine on the Dutch TV programme Hoepla has unfortunately been pulled from YouTube (but check back, it may well resurface, well worth a viewing!)

Greetings!

I've been using Canterbury Soundwaves/Sans Frontières as the soundtrack to my Sunday chores for quite a while now, working my way through from the beginning. I'm not sure what I'll do once I get caught up in a few weeks! First off, thanks for your ongoing work in keeping this going; it's been an education for me.

I'd been waiting to come across a Zacht Automaat track here, which I thought would be a natural for you to include. You didn't draw the connection, so I thought I'd mention ZA is basically what emerged from the wreckage of The Battleship, Ethel, who you'd featured a few times. They have a rather large catalogue by now, which is summarized nicely on this compilation.

If you're ever looking for one of those guest mixes to fill in a middle hour, I'm an ardent observer and archivist of various musics in Toronto and there are lots of things in the CSF vein (from Canterbury-styled widdly-prog to kosmiche to cosmic jazz explorations) that would fit in quite nicely. (To give one taste, here's a superb side excursion from Carl Didur, the keyb genius from Zacht Automaat + The Battleship, Ethel.) Do get in touch if the idea of a mix like this interests you!

Cheers,

Joe
