Thanks for the brief lowdown on the band. I always appreciate a good response.
I see what you mean by the 'Harvest Years' comp. It's right at the end of their body of work. Looking at the Wiki page of their discography, I've got seven albums of material worth checking out. Whoop!
Looks like I might be pulling a late one hunting down some of these albums for a spin. I think I'm going to tackle their full albums working through from the first release.

I like them a lot, but they are rather avantgarde and definitely not for everyone! If you do like what you hear, they could be a good entry into the
Canterbury scene which is a treasure trove of musical delights with my favourite of the bunch being the band Hatfield and the North which includes guitarist Phil Miller which I mentioned up there.
Allan Holdsworth also has Canterbury connections through the bands Gong and Bruford
