Many thanks to Ralph Cross at http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmNhcmF2YW4taW5mby5jby51aw== - www.caravan-info.co.uk for his kind words of support... "How does one follow the wonderful original? I guess you do what the Flaming Gnomes have done. They show respect for the 1968 version, producing a sympathetic cover which follows the path of the original, while adding some alternative touches, coupled with the use of modern technology. The whole thing gels well - good musicianship and obvious empathy with the music of Caravan - I'm sure the original members will be supportive of this new version. While Sam Smith's vocals are unlike Pye's (who could replicate that), they sit well with the song and a special mention must go to Phil Barrett, who takes on the role of the great Jimmy Hastings on flute for this version and does a more than adequate job. Well done Flaming Gnomes and good luck with the release. I can certainly see Caravan afficienados wanting a copy of this. Remember it has been made with love and affection: the drummer William Hayter is a long standing and loyal fan" http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmNhcmF2YW4taW5mby5jby51aw== - http://www.caravan-info.co.uk ------------- Fruits de Mer Records www.fruitsdemerrecords.com www.myspace.com/fdmer2 |
