Andi ChorleyCaravan is the debut album by the British Canterbury scene and progressive rock band Caravan. It was released by Verve Forecast in January (UK) and February 1969 (USA) and was the group's only album for the label.
Review by Lindsay Planer
Caravan's self-titled debut is equally as inventive and infinitely more subtle than the Soft Machine's Volume One or Pink Floyd's Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Two of the album's best tunes -- the ethereal "Place of My Own" was backed with the dreamlike "Magic Man" -- were issued as the band's first single. Those tracks accurately exemplify the subtle complexities that Caravan would hone to great effect on later recordings. The same can also be said for album cuts such as "Love Song With Flute" and the extended nine-minute "Where but for Caravan Would I?"

rwdfPretty sure I've heard the song Fascinating Rhythm played by a #fusion band, like #Gong or #SoftMachine, but I can't remember. Anyone know?
