Exciting, non threatening, progressive rock.......2006-04-25

3 1/2 Stars

A fantastic introduction into some of the more easy-access audible virtues lying dormant in most non-progressive listener's mind's awaits in this humble concoction of potent songwriting mixed with technical prowess. The music, while feeling at times a bit dated (awfully hard to have escaped that curse for most prog bands in that nonetheless glorious musical era), balances itself out rather nicely as an accessible album on many levels. The material ranges from rockers to love songs, influenced over jazzy, jam based guidance, which never lets the sometimes overly catchy melodies get bogged down in repetition. This excellent balance between accessibility and technicality should have afforded this band more popularity.

Lily of Rock.......2005-11-14

Many aren't too happy with Steve Miller filling in but his bass indeed pounds and reverberates in every track plus it gets funky the English way. This cd never wears me down and I keep on discoverong new sounds.

Waterloo Lily.......2005-09-12

For the lovers of Caravan's music. This CD is an excellent production that brought me back in time. If you collect them, do not miss this one.

Still good, but not as good as their previous album.......2002-09-04

Waterloo Lily marks the first lineup change in Caravan. David Sinclair left to briefly join Matching Mole. And a new keyboardist came in: Steve Miller, no, not the American Steve Miller who gave us The Joker and Fly Like an Eagle, but an Englishman named Steve Miller who was the brother of Matching Mole and Hatfield & the North's Phil Miller. As it's plainly obvious that Miller preferred the electric piano where D. Sinclair preferred the Hammond organ. The electric piano made Caravan move in to a more jazzy direction. And while Waterloo Lily isn't as good as In the Land of Grey & Pink, it still has some great material, like the title track, "The Love in Your Eye", and "Song & Signs". There tends to a bunch of lenghty jazzy jamming as well that might turn a few people off, but to me, it isn't bad. This was their first album to feature an orchestra as well, as demonstrated on "The Love in Your Eye". Sadly this was the last Caravan album to feature Richard Sinclair, as he would leave to join the likes of Hatfield & the North and Camel. While Waterloo Lily isn't the best album in Caravan's catalog, it's still well worth having.

Classic Caravan.......2000-08-03

This album is classic Caravan with a twist of jazz, compliments of keyboardist Steve Miller. Since Miller's playing is outstanding, Caravan does not seem to lose a beat with the temporary departure of Dave Sinclair (of Nine Feet Underground fame). Richard Sinclair and Pye Hastings are solid on vocals. The album's highlight is "The Love In Your Eye" suite, a true Caravan classic that again spotlights the band's musicianship and overall ability to craft long and intricate progressive rock songs. Highly recommended!
