5 out of 5 stars The Land of Grey and Pink.......2007-05-08

Maybe it could be because I was born in the wrong time, being only 33 years old, this album being a tad older, or maybe being the best kept secret in England's Canterbury district (town), I don't know. But one thing I got to say since I have heard the title song of this album, you don't get sick of it at all and why didn't these guys get as famous or more so than the Pink Floyd. I am a true fan of the singer/bass player Richard Sinclair, very rich and deep with a haunting sound betraying such great songs on this album. Every song on this album deserves recognition:

1 Golf Girl 4/5
2 Winter Wine 4/5
3 Love To Love You 3/5
4 In The Land of Grey and Pink 5/5
5 Nine Feet Underground 5/5
6 I Don't Know Its Name 5/5
Etc.....etc....etc....the rest are part of the original songs on this album with a different take on them.
Each one of these gems have a familar sound to it like you've heard it before in another time and it's a good feel. It is almost like Floyd or any progressive sounding material during this time but better, you even hear a little of Yes in here and even funny enough Rare Earth covering a Temptation song in Nine Feet Underground, near the end of the song. This group is really tight and it shows in their music indeed, too bad I didn't hear of them until recently in my life. And if you like this album, you'll like their other album 'If I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You', funny name by the way.

5 out of 5 stars A wonderful mix of pop and progressive.......2007-02-07

This 1971 album is easily the most cheery and upbeat record that I have in my collection. It is an excellent example of the pop/prog side of the Canterbury scene (which is actually more diverse than most would make it out to be), is both warm and inviting, and boasts some solid musicianship - in short, this is a fantastic recording that brings me a great deal of enjoyment.

The core musicians on this album comprise what I consider to be the definitive Caravan lineup: Richard Sinclair (bass, acoustic guitar, and vocals); Pye Hastings (electric/acoustic guitars; vocals): David Sinclair (Hammond organ; mellotron; backing vocal harmonies); and Richard Coughlan (drums and percussion). Joining the band are Jimmy Hastings (flute, tenor saxophone; and piccolo); and David Grinstead (cannon, bell, and "wind"). All of the guys are good players although I have to say that Richard Sinclair is the best: his bass work with Caravan, Hatfield and the North, and Camel is excellent. Richard also has a great singing voice, as does Pye Hastings and their vocal approach works very well with the material.

I think that of all of the Canterbury bands (and other English progressive bands active at the time), Caravan stuck closer to the "pop song" format. Because of this, you will neither encounter the use of staggeringly complex time signatures, nor odd chords and root movements. Instead, the pieces on In the Land of Grey and Pink feature very pleasant melodies, and are mostly mid-tempo, without any jarring or experimental passages. There is also the classic Canterbury sense of humor, as evidenced by song titles such as Golf Girl and "Hold Grandad by the Nose". Most of the tracks on the album are in the 3-8 minute range, with the single exception of the massive 22'40" Nine Feet Underground suite.

This remastered album features the original (and excellent) album art with loads of informative liner notes. The bonus tracks include several tracks that should have been included on the original record (e.g Aristocracy), whereas the remaining bonus tracks are simply alternate takes/versions.

This is a great album lumped under the Canterbury scene and is very highly recommended to folks that do not mind a less technically-oriented approach to prog rock along with the excellent For Girls who Grow Plump in the Night (1973).

5 out of 5 stars A Classic.......2006-11-22

This album is rightly considered one of the classic albums of the Canterbury progressive rock style which gained considerable popularity in the early 70's. Caravan really hit their stride on this their 3rd album and many consider it to be the band's best. Still with the band's original lineup this album plays to the strengths of the songwriters and musicians. It is a great mix of prog rock, pop, and at times just plain nonsense that works on many levels. The lyrics are very hippie-ish expressing a positive idealism that is rare in today's world. The pop-ish tracks "Golf Girl" "In The Land Of Grey And Pink" and "Love To Love You" are all instantly humable and stick in your brain like good pop should. The proggier stuff "Winter Wine" and the classic album closer "Nine Feet Underground" show a band at the top of their game. "Nine Feet Underground" has become Caravan's "Free Bird" with its 22 minute length and uninhibited jamming it has become an essential part of the Caravan set list to this day. Although the album sounds a bit dated today, it is still a great listen. The remastered version (released in 2001) sounds great and has several bonus tracks.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderfully unforgettable..........2006-09-08

So, why does an album sound so incredibly fresh & alive well over thirty years after its release? Well, if there was an easy answer everybody would be doing it, but sometimes things just work... and Caravan's masterpiece does just that. First time through its bizarre, often childish lyrics may leave you feeling that you've dropped into a whimsical Edward Lear-esque hippy-fest... but careful because it'll get to you, and once it does you'll be hooked. Why? Well in addition to being infused with catchy melodies, perfectly metered lyrics, excellent playing, clever arrangements, and a highly distinctive feeling of pastoral "Englishness", there's something running through it all that elevates it from an interesting, relatively obscure slice of early 70's folk-jazz-rock into a "classic". Don't ask me what but it's different, unforgettable and above all timeless.

5 out of 5 stars A High Point in Progressive Music.......2006-08-14

Without fluffing this up too much, I just want to state that the reason this album works so well is because of one man: Richard Sinclair. Perhaps I am partial to his music and achievements outside of Caravan, but I can see no other reason why this album has succeeded where many others in the band catalogue have not. The previous two albums in the Caravan discography are nice enough and worth checking out, but they seem to be lacking. The band was fully entrenched in the quirky psychadelic music of the late 60's, but aside from some moments on "If I Could Do it All Over....", there aren't any strong, distinctive elements that set the group apart from its peers.

During the production of this album, "In the Land of Grey and Pink", for whatever reason, Richard Sinclair came into his own as a songwriter. His writing and performances on the album are far from stunning: he's a decent enough singer, can pluck out a few chords on the guitar, but certainly no virtuoso. No, what Sinclair brought to this album was his sense of humor and fun. The whole thing begins with the classic "Golf Girl", a silly and campy song about a man who falls in love with a golf course employee. The melody and chord changes are nothing revolutionary, but again there is a light-heartedness to the song that is instantly appealing, even if the lyrics make little sense.

In my opinion, the best track on the album is "Winter Wine", another Richard Sinclair composition. The song begins with Richard plucking on an acoustic guitar and singing a folk-sy tale of yearning, castles, dragons, and various other fantastical things. The song picks up steam at roughly the 1:00 point, with a strong guitar riff and drum beat. The progression is pretty steady throughout its length, with plenty of jamming on organ & guitar, courtesy of Dave Sinclair (Richard's cousin) and Pye Hastings, respectively. The key to this song is that it is lovely, it also grooves, and it is fun.

Pye provides his sole contribution to the album "Love to Love You", which has a simple but catchy feel to it. The song has its own sense of fun, and the music is strongly appealing, but lacks the absurd humor of the Sinclair tracks previous to it. Coincidentally, the shortest track on the album.

The title track: again, nothing ground-breaking in terms of song writing, but it is good fun and Sinclair sings about all sorts of strange nonsense. The wonderful thing is that the absurdity is never off-setting.

The monster on this recording is "Nine Feet Underground", courtesy of Dave Sinclair. This is among the fan favorite recordings of the band, and it's not hard to see why. Unlike the previous tracks, it has many extended instrumental passages, with plenty of organ playing and grooves from the band. Strangely enough, the song doesn't FEEL as long as it does, and almost places the listener in a trance. The solos are never overly complicated, which is sometimes a fresh change from the million-notes-per-second mentality of other prog groups.

Plenty of bonus tracks here, but I won't get into them (this review is long enough!). My overall feeling about this album is that, although it doesn't have a ground-shattering effect on the music scene, it does present Caravan as a fresh and unique voice in any field of music. Unfortunately Richard Sinclair would leave the band after this album, and Caravan would continue to provide us with catchy, sometimes epic songs with Pye Hastings trademark dry humor and arrangements (see For Girls Who Grow album). This is so much fun, very much a product of its time and almost Brit-centric humor, but a worthy purchase!

It's very hip to refer to Tolkien, given the success of Lord of the Rings on celluloid. But to be fair to David Arkenstone, he's always been inspired by the master fantasy author, so the release of this album just happens to be timely. A collaboration between composer-multi-instrumentalists David and Diane Arkenstone, the disc features many of David's trademarks as it incorporates influences as diverse as Aaron Copland, international sounds, and progressive rock. With both orchestral and ethnic instruments at their disposal, the composers and their Middle Earth Orchestra journey from grand symphonic peaks to delicate valleys, including the grand fanfare of "Field of Cormallen," the mysterious and ethereal atmosphere of "Palantir," and the lively, Renaissance-flavored dance of "Road to Rivendell." While this ode to Middle Earth is nothing groundbreaking within Arkenstone's extensive catalog, it's still an amiable, engaging album that will appeal to longtime listeners and intrigue many fantasy fans. --Bryan Reesman

When Music Makes me take a deep breath and sit back I know I have found some music to wander in my mind with. Music must create an image in my mind to keep me interested, allow me to escape on the notes and fly above everyday hum-drum. I can dance in a field of wildflowers and in the next moment soar high above mountians and feel one with all that is. This is the Music to do this with...

5 out of 5 stars music of midle earth.......2006-12-07

This is the best Middle Earth Music I have ever heard. Better than Howard Shore. There is nothing like it. You really feel you are in Middle earth. Especially in "The Quest". You feel like you are actually wandering through wilderland.

Sometimes it takes a while for Arkenstone's music to catch with me but when it does, I can't get it out of my head. One of his many great efforts.

5 out of 5 stars We love it!.......2006-02-25

Middle Earth CD is wonderful. We like the music better than the original Lord of the Rings movie music! And its not just me, my 11 year old twin daughters love to listen to it all the time. He created the music so well that you can just imagine yourself in Middle Earth.

The classic everyone told me it was. I was expecting good but not this good. This is a great prog. album. Only complaint, I would have liked a little more guitar in the instrumental parts, especially on the long song. But with tunes like these, I'll let it pass.

5 out of 5 stars TAKE A CANTERBURY PILGRIMAGE..........2001-06-17

If you've never experienced the innocence and eclecticism that was Caravan, you might as well start with this, their finest album. They did a lot of other nice work, before and after (IF I COULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN, FOR GIRLS WHO GROW PLUMP IN THE NIGHT, parts of WATERLOO LILY...), but this cd shows them at their best.

David Sinclair played keyboards -- organ, piano and mellotron -- and did some harmony vocals. His Hammond organ dominated the band's sound, but never in a heavy-handed way, and his mellotron work was groundbreaking. He used the instrument to play leads, not just to invoke swelling string section fills, as most practitioners did. His cousin Richard Sinclair played bass and acoustic guitar and sang most of the leads -- he has a pleasant but distinctive, unquestionably British voice, perfectly suited to their material (he later lent his talents to the shatteringly talented ensemble Hatfield and the North). Pye Hastings played guitar (mostly rhythm and some nice understated lead work -- he was, thankfully, never a posing 'guitar god') and did some of the lead vocals, and Richard Coughlin provided the rhythmic foundation with his tasteful drumming. From time to time, Pye's brother Jimmy Hastings appears on flute and sax, adding to the slightly jazzy feel of their arrangements.

There is humor and whimsy in Caravan's music and lyrics -- but never to the point of making them seem silly. This is intelligently crafted music, but music that will bring a smile to your face --- progressive, thought-provoking and hummable at the same time. This band, and this album in particular, is one of the highlights of the 70s British music scene -- and it has aged well. The album is as enjoyable today as when it was released, in 1971.

4 out of 5 stars Probably Caravan's best work.......2000-12-25

Track five is the one to test whether you will like Caravan -- the extended 'Nine Feet Underground'. New listeners may need to take some time getting used to this folk-tinged, organ-centred rock -- just don't forget that this album was released in April 1971! Caravan never made a better record after this.

5 out of 5 stars Caravan fans: check Richard Sinlcair's "Caravan of Dreams".......2000-08-09

I've already submitted a review of this CD (Caravan's best), which you should find below.

However, if the good people at Amazon allow, this is a short message intended to direct those Caravan fans who already have practically everything to a surprisingly good CD released by Richard Sinclair (the bass player and vocalist of Caravan). The CD is called "Caravan of Dreams", and anyone who loves Caravan should check out this 1992 recording, which R. Sinclair (in the sleeve notes) describes as "an extension to the Canterbury Scene"). It's not a rehash of the old Caravan, but it does recapture a lot of the old Caravan magic.

5 out of 5 stars A classic.......2000-06-27

Idiosyncrasy. Remember that? The raw virtuosity of King Crimson, the literacy of early Genesis, the sheer emotional intensity of Van der Graaf Generator? (Not to mention the pseudo-artistic but fun pyrotechnics of ELP and the sympathetic but occasionally over-the-top ramblings of Yes!)

Well, there were other bands as well. Equally unique, in many ways equally wonderful, but somehow never as successful or enduring. Gentle Giant's one, and Caravan's another.

Caravan's music is difficult to describe to the newcomer. It's unique. Terms like whimsical, magical and quintessentially British come to mind, but none of those really capture the essence. What does, then?

Well, Pooh. And Alice. And that curiously heroic Hobbit, Bilbo. All those hopeless British traits, melancholy and longing and mild self-deprecation, caught up in one. And beautiful music, sculptured by organ (the old-fashioned kind, Hammond), accentuated by synchronous guitar and interspersed with flute, occasional saxophone and determinedly simple, but often wonderful lyrics. And all of this, spiced, obviously, by a pinch of the era: the early 70's.

That, at least, is what Caravan's like on In the Land Of Grey And Pink. And because of this, Grey and Pink is Caravan's best album by far. They'd already produced the extraordinarily titled If I Could It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You (Caravan was never a group to eschew curious titles!) and that's the next one you'll want to get, if you like Grey And Pink. After that, things unfortunately go downhill, though there's enough to enjoy if, by now, you're Caravanserai'd.

This is one of my favourite albums of all time. I keep returning to it, as the years go by. It's a classic.

    Album Description

    For many aficionados of the creative rock music that surfaced in the heady days of the late 60's / early 70's, the bands who surfaced from the English provincial city of Canterbury produced some of the most consistently interesting music of that period. Of all the groups to emerge from the so-called "Canterbury Scene" (the existence of which many of its main protagonists deny), none were quite so original and so enduring as Caravan.

    In The Land of Grey & Pink was released to an unsuspecting world in 1971, appearing in Europe and Japan on Decca's progressive rock label Deram and in the USA on London Records The album packaging was the most lavish to grace a Caravan release to date, being the inaugural release in Deram's "deluxe" series. It featured a striking Tolkien-esque illustration and opened in a gatefold to reveal a glorious picture silhouette of the band larking around, marching single file in a field. Overall both the music within and the album sleeve created a stunning impression.

    A unique fusion of folk, jazz and rock; the album came to be regarded as one of Caravan's finest hours. Taking up a whole side of vinyl and chosen to close the album, the Nine Feet Underground suite provided a worthy successor to For Richard, proving to be one of the most popular tracks on the album and a concert favourite. It is often regarded as the seminal Caravan album and is in MOJO's bible top 500 albums of all time. This new Eclectic definitive version is remastered and comes housed in digipak format.

      5 out of 5 stars in the pink.......2001-07-27

      another first class re release from caravan. this c.d. is another great bonus compared to the oringinal l.p. with the addition of 5 extra tracks all unreleased. after seeing caravan live recently i went to play the l.p. again only to find it missing from my collection. i was devastated but now i'm over the moon. the full l.p. plus extras worthy of 5 stars.
