Waterloo Lily obviously threw a few Caravan fans off. With David Sinclair out of the picture, new keyboardist Steve Miller (not to be confused with the American that gave us "Fly Like an Eagle" and "Swingtown") gave the band a more fusion slant. Might have not been a problem to those familiar with the more fusion-oriented Canterbury bands like Hatfield & the North. So after one album with Matching Mole, David Sinclair decided to rejoin Caravan, with two new members, Geoff Richardson on electric violin, and bassist John G. Perry who replaced Richard Sinclair. The results were this, their fifth album which was basically picking up where In the Land of Grey & Pink left off. The album starts off with "Memory Lane, Hugh", a nice, catchy piece with vocal harmonies that remind me of the Byrds. "Headloss" is really cheery and upbeat. There's "Hoedown", which basically revolves a repetitive but great rhythm. As you noticed, David Sinclair bought some new instruments, his organ doesn't get much use here, but he used a Davoli synthesizer, electric piano, and clavinet. "C'Thulu", given the song was obviously inspired by H.P. Lovecraft, is supposed to have a more sinister tone, even John G. Perry, who does some of the vocals here (as well as Pye Hastings, of course) sounds oddly like Ozzy Osbourne here! You can even hear the sound of wolves howling in the background. But the song has some ridiculously cheery passages as well. Side two demonstrates just as well how Caravan decided to stick to the sound they're best known. The ending of the album is largely orchestrated, with even an orchestrated theme from Soft Machine's Third (that is, "Slightly-All-The-Time"). If you're a Caravan fan, you're going to want this album, but if you're new, start with In the Land of Grey & Pink.
