A cornerstone of the Canterbury sound, Shooting at the Moon finds Soft Machine co-founder Kevin Ayers in full experimental bloom. Backed by The Whole World—featuring Mike Oldfield, Lol Coxhill, David Bedford, and Bridget St. John—this 1970 classic blends whimsical psychedelia with avant-garde textures and surreal lyricism.
