Transmusic Airwaves
This week’s TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (#75) marks the return of my bi-monthly special feature “Character Study,” an in depth look at bands/individuals that have had a significant influence on contemporary music. On today’s edition a look at “CARAVAN and Other Tales From Canterbury,” an exploration into the origin and history of one of the Canterbury Scene’s musical anchor’s, Caravan and the many artists that emerged from under it’s wings. Music spanning Caravan’s decades of work will be heard beginning with the groups origin in the legendary band The Wilde Flowers and the subsequent creation of other bands by it’s members. In addition to hearing music from Caravan, other Canterbury stalwarts to be played include Delivery, Matching Mole, Hatfield and the North, National Health, and Camel. Solo material from Richard Sinclair, John G. Perry, and Geoffrey Richardson will be heard as well. This feature will air during the second and third hour of today’s show. During the first hour cuts from the latest albums from Eno & Hyde (“High Life”), Damon Albarn, Camper Van Beethoven, and Ray LaMontagne along with other music will be played.
