Title: A Time Machine Back to my Teens
Review: For any Brit who was in his or her teens or twenties in the late 60's/early 70's and who had a discerning ear, this album probably rates very highly. The two tracks that "bring it all back again" for me are the title track and "Golf Girl." The "Canterbury Sound", with its combination of whimsy and serious commitment to art, stands out from the banality of much of the era's popular culture. Beyond Hastings' and Sinclair's whimsy are engaging melodies that are replete with interesting time signatures supported by subtle harmony. Although their eponymous first album has a raw creativeness that perhaps surpasses this album, "Gray and Pink" is perhaps the Caravan album I would choose if I were only allowed one on my desert island. This is a must have album for afficianados of the "Canterbury Sound."
Is the review positive or negative?
