Promised myself a listen to all the Caravan albums I have (98%) with the recent improvements to the system. Hear what I haven't heard before. Past few days have been a Caravan fest. Listening for the first time to them all together, comparing and sometimes contrasting.
Will go through them again soon picking out the stratospheric highlights and the 'must listen to again'
Formed from part/s of The Wilde Flowers which also hatched Soft Machine and others
They had me at the first album, self titled.
The whole album is great, but finishing with the wonderful 9 minute
Where but for Caravan would I ?
seals their fate as one of my best bands ever
If I could do it all over again, I'd do it all over you
the same but different.
Last but one track the 14 minute
For Richard / Warlock
is heaven and becomes one of their most performed numbers live.
In the Land of Grey and Pink
their most well known album and arguably their best features the wonderful 22 minute
Nine Feet Underground
Cannot hear enough of that.
The Steve Wilson remaster gives us multiple versions and they are all great. Stuck in the kitchen for months being played over and over. A wrench to move it to the next queue.
Waterloo Lily
If this was there only album it would be enough to guarantee them a place as one of my all time favourites.
End of part One, and almost the end of the band........
