“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

National Health

Prog plus English whimsy subdivided by Canterbury and pushed through a Gong drum matrix. I wish I could find “Shining Water” on YouTube. But you know, this is super duper. A taste of the almost-socialist-ness of the mid-70s carried in fragile music into the later 70s. And one has to love those vocals. Dead in tune for a kickoff, really powerfully projected.

OF Queues and Cures also National Health, also cool, still today somehow.
The Rotters Club of Hatfield and the North likewise innocently sublimey.
