East Asian connections from Canterbury to Malaysia, Japan, China and Tibet, then back again. A rare instance of Dave Sinclair singing, Robert Wyatt reading from some Chinese communist propaganda, quite a bit of Alan Gowen, Acid Mothers Gong being very strange indeed, another cover of Wyatt's "Alifib", more Hugh Hopper collaborations, an (almost) live version of "Winter Wine" by Caravan, Steve Hillage in Japan with Ash Ra Tempel's Manuel Göttsching... AND a frivolous poetry competition!

An investigation of how Henry Cow got from Cambridge to 'Canterbury', with special attention paid to everyone's favourite feminist avant-rock bassoonist, Lindsay Cooper. Also, the Soft Machine quintet lineup live in early 1970, Richard Sinclair guesting with some Norwegians, Jimmy Hastings in both absent and present forms, the (almost) beginning of the Planet Gong mythology and an Australian listener called Wyatt covering Robert Wyatt, as well as (Robert) Wyatt's choice of favourite record ever (as of late 1974).
