Al Coda is the third and final album by the progressive rock and jazz
fusion group National Health. It is a tribute to former member Alan
Gowen, who died of leukaemia in May 1981, and consists solely of
compositions written by him. Most of these had not been recorded in the
studio before, although "TNTFX" and "Arriving Twice" both appeared
earlier on albums by Gowen's other band Gilgamesh.

Musically,
the album doesn't quite measure up to the previous two National Health
releases, but that is largely due to the times and technology and not
the songwriting. Although the material is perhaps jazzier than ever
before, it is still firmly rooted in the bittersweet Canterbury style.
