IF I COULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN, I'D DO IT ALL OVER YOU

Beautiful, beautiful album. Caravan carved their distinct style here and very successfuly followed it on a few future albums. I love them for their gentle and warm vocals, for imaginative songwriting, charming melodies and more than competent musicianship. This record represents the gentle side of Cantenbury scene at it's best. There are two semi- epics here everybody loves (particularly "For Richard") and I can't agree more but frankly I love all the shorter songs as well. There is no one weaker track here and the album represents a new (at the time and still fresh) and distinct style of prog, full of imagination and warm fairytale-like atmosphere soaked in jazzy instrumental parts, so it's a five star masterpiece in my book. Actualy they got five star ratings from me from this point up untill their fifth lp "For girls who grow plump in the night" (included). One of the best bands of this era so rich in great bands.
