4 stars I find this one rather addictive. Apparently it's known as the epitome of Canterbury rock, so if you are into that genre or symphonic rock, I thoroughly recommend it. There's quite a mixture of psychedelic rock, jazz and folk on this album.

The organ playing is very distinctive throughout, with lot's of solos and the guitar parts are more subtle. Some nice vocals with harmonies and plenty of melodic charm. Most of the songs run into eachother and I love the way some parts blend together.

I particularly love "And I Wish I Were Stoned" which is very folky as well as "Hello Hello". Most of the solo parts are very Jazzy and the longest track "For Richard" is also a favourite of mine. It's a bit hypnotic especially when the drums and bass kick in. It keeps me hooked and never loses my attention.

This was my first encounter with Caravan. Some say that the following "In The Land Of Grey And Pink" album is better but I'm yet to decide. Anyway I'm going for 4 and a half stars.
