Canterbury Knights is a compilation album containing previously unreleased archive recordings by the band The Polite Force which was active on the Canterbury scene between 1976 and 1978. It was released by Voiceprint Records in 1997."Calyx, the Canterbury Website" describes the music: "The music is very much in the mold of late-period Soft Machine, with Dave Sinclair playing cool and complex jazz piano, while Mark Hewins" guitar work shows why he later went on to play alongside Hugh Hopper and Elton Dean in various projects and bands (including Soft Heap and Mashu) as well as being a founding member of Richard Sinclair"s Caravan Of Dreams."
