Synopsis

Album Description
Although the band name itself may not ring any bells for too many people, largely because it never relased any records during its lifetime (1964-1967), it was a pillar of the legendary Canterbury scene of the mid-to-late sixties. Band members included: Robert Wyatt, Kevin Ayers, Hugh Hopper (all soon to form the seminal Soft Machine) as well as members from another influential Canterbury band, Caravan (David Sinclair, Richard Sinclair, Pye Hastings, Richard Coughlan, Brian Hopper). In fact, much of the material found here could have easily been found on an early Soft Machine album. This 19-track compilation is now finally available on vinyl for the first time
 

CD Reviews

Playful, laid back psychedelia
Socrates | Rotterdam, The Netherlands | 08/12/2001
(2 out of 5 stars)

"The band The Wild Flowers was a kind of rehearsel for more "serious" bands. The hand full of songs the band's constantly changing line-up produced, sound like undeveloped experiments performed by unexperienced muscicians. Which doesn't mean their music is childish or unpleasant, in fact it's light-hearted and spontanious, just not very interesting, yet. Many members would join other bands of which Carvan and the Soft Machine were the most succesful. For fans of these bands it is interesting to hear their sounds and styles being developed here."
