With the doyens of 'Canterbury Rock' enjoying a newly-revived career, touring hither and yon, the reissuing of the second LP, from 1970, is perfectly timed to hear the band in pure analogue form as nature intended. This is the original line-up, with two Sinclairs on board, and a wordy title to challenge Tyrannosaurus Rex's penchant for verbosity. Although a prime example of prog rock, with one track exceeding 14 minutes - the signature jam 'For Richard' - Caravan also featured tightly-conceived songs, so there's a distinct absence of po'faced self-indulgence. This album arrived just as drummer Richard Coughlan passed away, making it a most fitting tribute.

机译:随着“坎特伯雷摇滚”乐队一路走来,人们开始了新的职业生涯,巡回演出至今,从1970年开始发行第二张LP时机恰到好处,可以听取自然界纯正的模拟乐团演奏。这是原始的阵容,上面有两个Sinclairs,还有一个冗长的标题,用以挑战霸王龙(Tyrannosaurus Rex)的冗长嗜好。尽管前卫摇滚是一个典型的例子,单首曲目超过14分钟-签名果酱“ For Richard”-Caravan还收录了构思严谨的歌曲,因此明显缺乏po-face的自我放纵。就在鼓手理查德·科夫兰(Richard Coughlan)去世之时,这张专辑就发行了,这是最合适的致敬之作。
