Caravan were a great band that never really hit the dizzy heights of stardom. I first heard my brother playing "for those who grow plump in the night" another great Caravan album and decided to investigate more. On all albums you will find a long musical piece and Cunning Stunts has the best. 18 minutes of "The Dabsong Conshirtoe" a great piece of music which starts off slow and melodic and speeds up to great finale. Stand out tracks are "Show of our lives" and "Lover" a beautiful song layered with orchestral strings. A generally up-beat, lively album which would find it's place in any collection. If you haven't heard Caravan before try this, then move on to "For girls who grow plump" and at these prices you can't go wrong.

This record was originally going to be called 'Toys In The Attic', but Aerosmith got there first, apparently. Good, solid English Rock which was nonetheless beginning to sound a little like Caravan were (shock) aiming for the big time. Didn't happen, of course, but 'Cunning Stunts'(geddit?)is still a fine example of Pye Hastings' grip on the English Rock ethic. Some top tunes as well, some of which should be played VERY LOUDLY INDEED.

Not their best by a long way. If you're looking for a caravan CD for your collection, try "land of grey and pink" or "girls who grow plump" first- both great albums... By the time "cunning stunts" came out Caravan were turning into some kind of genesis supergroup and seem to have lost that quirky innocence that made their earlier efforts so memorable and lovable. I guess the title gives it away - scraping the barrel for one last laugh. One word review? = Boring.
