Format:Audio CD
I've been getting into listening to Caravan ( again ) after a break of ohh? several years due to the recent re-releases. I originally listened to them about the time of Blind Dog and Better By Far and those , along with Grey and Pink , remain my favourite albums.
So having bought some of the re-releases I thought I'd go for the new one. It's an album I'd recommend strongly to anyone who likes Caravan. It's a very fine album with some stunning guitar from Doug Boyle. It's a delight to hear soloing that flows along with the music. I'd forgotten that's one of the things Caravan do really well !

A lengthy period has elapsed since their last release, so this new offering will be eagerly awaited by Caravan fans. I don't think it will disappoint either, the album has all the hallmarks of the typical Caravan sound with the instantly recognisable vocals & keyboards. There is also some moody sax & guitar work reminiscent of Camels Andy Latimer on "It's getting a whole lot better", another track that I am sure will become a concert favourite is driving rocky number called "Revenge". All in all a good album to add to the Caravan collection maybe not quit "Grey & Pink" but 4 out of 5 none the less.

A really super album with thoughtful lyrics and versatile backing. I bought this after hearing them play live.Track 5 is particularly beautiful and worth putting on loop if you need to relax or chillout. It is reminiscent of the music of Penguin Cafe by Simon Jeffes for whom Geoffery Richardson played. Track 8 also has the same feel but more so and quite haunting. He clearly wants the thread to live on. The same mood begins track 6 but it soon bursts into a more lively toe tapping rhythm. They are indeed a talented mix of musicians and Pye's voice clearly sings the catchy lyrics. I am a "born again Caravan fan".
Overall it is a refreshing CD with a hints of the sixties, jazz and rock with a smattering of classical tones, but just incase you start to feel sleepy, bars of jazz wake you up. Get to a concert if you can. It is worth it, but until then, buy the CD. It is a real treat.

A TRUE CANTERBURY CLASSIC
This is undoubtedly the best new Caravan album for years. It is easily the equal of the very strong 1976 effort: `Blind Dog at St. Read more
