HATFIELD AND THE NORTH: Hatfield And The North (1973) + The Rotters' Club (1975) (2011 Japanese SHM-CD Remasters + Bonus Tracks) [FLAC]

PORTUGUÊS:
Hatfield And The North foi uma super banda, que apesar de ter produzido apenas dois álbuns, é considerada uma das melhores bandas da cena de Canterbury. Os integrantes, no entanto, já eram músicos experientes oriundos de outras bandas já renomadas, a começar pelo baixista e líder Richard Sinclair, que havia deixado o Caravan pouco antes, e o baterista Pip Pyle, ex-integrante do Gong. O guitarrista Phil Miller também já havia feito parte do Caravan, além do Matching Mole, enquanto que o tecladista Dave Stewart era integrante do Egg e do Khan. Com uma formação dessa, não é de se surpreender que essa banda tenha produzido dois álbuns excelentes de qualidade musical finíssima e de riqueza instrumental incomparável. Inteiramente essencial para os fãs das bandas de Canterbury.


ENGLISH:
Hatfield And The North was a super group, which in despite of producing just two albums, is considered as one of the best out of Canterbury scene. The members, nonetheless, were already experienced musicians coming from other renowned bands, beginning from bassist and leader Richard Sinclair, who by then had recently left Caravan, and drummer Pip Pyle, ex-Gong member. Guitarrist Phil Miller also had been member of either Caravan and Matching Mole, whilst keyboardist Dave Stewart played on Egg and Khan. With such line-up, it wouldn't be surprising that this band have produced two magnificient albums of the highest grade and uncomparable instrumental richness. Completely essential for Canterbury scene fans.
