Caravan

LP Record In the late 1960s, the Canterbury area was home to a vibrant psychedelic music scene that revolved around the band The Wilde Flowers. Recordings of the band itself are almost non-existent, but after its break-up, other influential bands rose from the ashes: Gong, Soft Machine, and especially Caravan. Caravan's self-titled debut was released in 1968. It is considered a seminal album that reflects the quirky yet experimental mood of the era. Their sound went far beyond the shifting musical styles of the contemporary underground, and it was this that set Caravan apart from other bands in their genre.
