Supersister
Maybe you didn't know yet, but the best Canterbury music in the (very) early seventies came from... The Hague, Holland. Though there are also influences of Frank ZAPPA, the best comparison of the music of SUPERSISTER, and especially of this unique debut album from 1970(!), is with early SOFT MACHINE, EGG and (sometimes) CARAVAN (though maybe a bit less accessible), and in the jazzy swinging parts with NATIONAL HEALTH on Of Queues and Cures. Robert Jan Stips, on keyboards, is the Dutch version of Dave Stewart, even with comparible humor. (Though the humor of SUPERSISTER is sometimes rather tending towards weirdness, irony or even sillyness than towards the tongue-in-cheek style of many early Canterbury bands.) Marco Vrolijk is an excellent, powerfull leading drummer; and even more melodical than his Canterbury collegues. But what really makes this band special, is that there is no lead guitar, and instead they have the amazing Sacha van Geest on flutes. As Jimmy Hastings gave early CARAVAN that extra thing with his flute intermezzos, here we have a band that uses this instrument constantly as a leading instrument (in combination with the fuzzed organ), and that gives them a unique, fresh and clear sound that makes them accessible even in their most complex melodies and rhythms: enchanting in the quiet parts, and still leading in the jazzy swinging parts. Even nowadays SUPERSISTER albums still stand strong as such. This amazing debut album was followed by two albums ('To The Highest Bidder' and 'Pudding en Gisteren') which are also too little known surprising highlights in progressive music, that should be in the collection of every lover of ever surprising, really progressive music. This excellent debut album is available in combination with their second album ('To The Highest Bidder'), which is also a masterpiece of really progressive music.
