I also wouldn't compare this thing to the Canterbury scene, since for one the Canterbury scene was more of a movement among musicians from a certain area who just happened to know each other and play in each others bands than it was a genre distinguished by a certain sound.
Fine... symphonic prog then... space rock - whatever works.

As much as I love prog, I've never really understood Canterbury as a label anyway.
