Caravan ‎- Caravan & The New Symphonia (1974) (24-Bit/96Khz + 16-Bit/44.1Khz) (Vinyl Rip)

This Caravan record has a very good balance between electric guitars and electric viola: they are often played simultaneously. The electric guitar is really not timid here, and this contributes to give a very good sound to this record. The drums and bass are punchy and quite loud. The songs are recorded live. The main attraction is this omnipresent orchestration (horns and strings): it is absolutely delightful, very present and participating, reminding many orchestrated passages of the Renaissance band, circa “Scheherazade”, “Novella” and “Song for all seasons”. This is the best of the Caravan’s albums I own! This formula of rock-orchestra really works. Do not forget the nice keyboards, having about the same style as on “For girls who grow plump in the night”. Let us also mention the presence of saxes, flute and backing vocals, which complete the loaded ensemble. Very progressive, this record is a pleasure for your ears from the beginning to the end. There are 2 epic songs (12-13 minutes), which are really progressive. Unlike the other albums, this one is slightly less catchy, maybe because of the absence of Richard Sinclair’s lead vocals. Definitely an underrated album, having ALL its songs at least excellent!! If you hate strings ensemble and violins, then this record is not for you!
EXTREMELY RECOMMENDED!
