Re room clearing: "Slush," the last track on the Bonzo Dog Band's "Let's Make Up and Be Friendly", always had my parents up in arms. It featured a very syrupy,...

Hi guys, While not Canterbury, I figure there are enough general progressive fans here to be interested, perhaps, in a review of the new live Van Der Graaf...
