IMHO this is the best thing Caravan ever recorded. One of the all time great Canterbury prog rock jams. Nice & long & full of jamming & riffs
Avatar ♥ 7:14pm
TDK60:

Elsewhere in woofmooland, recently some commenter remarked that the Caravan singer here, forget which one, sounds a bit like Robert Wyatt. Also that both Caravan and Soft Machine keyboardists had similar fuzzy organ sounds. And were cross-town Canterbury bands, right?

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by... to Thai food instead of the opening of the show. And that has made all the difference.
