I tell ya. In my humble opinion the British bands of the 60 and 70's produced some of the most creative and interesting music ever. The only group of people that can compare with what the Brits did for popular music is the african american rhythm and blues groups of the 50' 60's and 70's and considering that a lot of the British bands were lovers of and copied from black american soul, blues and jazz musicians and singers, hell blacks damn near influenced it all.

As far as the british bands, King Crimson is one of the best.

Anyway sorry for the rant.

Level Five (Live in JAPAN) Fuk yeah !

Cirkus; Lizzard(1970)

Camel were a progressive rock band that released albums from 1973 to 2002.

They were never really as popular as some other British progressive rock bands but they did(do) have a decent size fan base.

The first song is not indicative of Camel's overall sound but the second one is.

Remote Romance. I can see your house from here(1979)

Beached. Nude(1981) This version is a live, 1998 version.

Have you listened to any Caravan? Cunning Stunts, For Girls Who Grow Plump In The Night, and my favourite - In The Land Of Grey And Pink. Oh my, brings back memories of sunshine and being stoned - and being young!

Listening to Kevin Ayers albums also brings back those memories.

Yep, i dig Caravan and Kevin Ayers. I didn't get into either one of them until around 1996(by way of soft machine). In researching Kevin Ayers i discovered Caravan. I managed to find some Caravan albums at the library, listened to them and been a fan every since. As far as Kevin, i have his album Confession of dr dream, and some other single songs of his.

Actually i probably like Caravan a little more than Soft Machine...just a little though.
