Our Take

Welcome, music lovers, to this groovy retrospective of CARAVAN's Decca/Deram Years from 1970-1975. Strap in, light up some incense, and get ready to embark on a musical journey through the minds of these British prog-rock pioneers.

The album is a treasure trove of whimsical melodies, intricate instrumentation, and off-kilter song structures that will have you scratching your head in the best way possible. From the quirky keyboards to the captivating vocals, CARAVAN's unique blend of rock, jazz, and psychedelia is a sonic delight for the ears.

Tracks like "Golf Girl" and "C'thlu Thlu" showcase the band's ability to weave complex arrangements with a sense of carefree fun, while the epic "For Richard" takes listeners on a cosmic voyage through time and space.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on this anthology. The band also delves into darker themes on songs like "Dead Man Walking" and "The Dog, The Dog, He's At It Again," proving that CARAVAN is not afraid to explore the depths of the human experience.

Overall, The Decca/Deram Years is a must-listen for fans of progressive rock and anyone looking to expand their musical horizons. So sit back, relax, and let CARAVAN take you on a wild ride through the psychedelic landscapes of the 1970s. You won't be disappointed.
