Caravan - In The Land Of Grey and Pink

Caravan - In The Land Of Grey And Pink SACD

  Of all the great prog rock albums I have in my collection, Caravan's "In The Land Of Grey and Pink" has always been amongst my favs......i also love their debut album which really got me into the whole Canterbury art-rock scene.

  Originally released in 1971 marking their 3rd album and still stands up as one of the finer prog albums of the early 70's.  This album was lavishly packaged too with its pink and grey colored hues and Tolkein-ish art set it apart from others right from the start.

    Every songs is excellent and the watermark is the 22 mins epic track "Nine Feet Undergroud" with its strangely names sub movements.   Musically Caravan fuse parts of folk, rock, jazz and progressive elements with excellent vocals and harmonies.  I have a few different versions of this treasured album but the top of the foodchain is this SACD mix!

    This SACD version was skilfully and lovingly remastered by same guy that was responsible for the excellent 40th Anniversary King Crimson remasters and the Depeche Mode SACD transfers that received audiophile attention years back Kevin VanBergen.  This SACD sounds clear...crisp and absolutely rich ......the way SACDs should sound!
