Focused on folk-tinged psychedelia, expert organ work, and a multitude of harmonies and flutes, the album put them in a different league than the jazz Fusion experiments of the Soft Machine and the whispered spaciness of Gong. <I>In the Land of the Grey and Pink</I> (1971) showed their interest in pastoral time changes and eccentric whimsy. Personnel changes throughout the '70s led the band toward questionable jazz odysseys and unfortunate album titles such as <I>Cunning Stunts</I>, but Caravan mainstay Pye Hastings could always be relied upon for his more succinct pop experiments. The band continues in some form to this day with occasional one-off reunions, as well as through the music of bands such as the Ozric Tentacles. - Jon PruettArt & Progressive Rocken720Sun, 29 Nov 2009 16:47:00 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3639&rws=%2Fcaravan%2Fmusic-videos.rss One of the key groups to spring from the tightly knit Canterbury scene, Caravan came softly out of the woods in 1968 with their self-titled debut record.
