GILGAMESH ORIGINAL 1975 (CANTERBURY SCENE) CAROLINE LP
Alan Gowen was a brilliant composer and keyboard player who had a knack for writting music that drew from the tradional Canterbury sounds and jazz and classical tradions. Alan later on went to form National Heath but here we get to hear Gilgamesh.
This verson of Gilgamesh features Alan's long time guitar side man Phil Lee who perhaps is better known in jazz circles than pop-progressive fans. Phil had a wonderful way of enhancing the ideas that Alan composed making them sound neither like your typical fuson recording or progressive rock recording. If you are a fan of National Health, Henry Cow, Hatfield and the old Soft Machine Gilgamesh follows similar traditions challenging, progressive, jazz/rock.
Sleeve condition: a little ringwear but no writing, tears, significant creasing or damage, overall in Ex condition. Complete with original, black, Caroline inner sleeve.
Record condition: a very solid Ex+ visually and aurally.
A very nice, collectors’ condition copy of this rare and sought after album. I also currently have listed, Gilgamesh’s ‘Another Fine Tune You’ve Got Me Into’ in addition to many other Canterbury Scene originals.
