Progressive rock

Caravan is a Progressive rock act. Their sound grew out of Jimmy Hastings, The Wilde Flowers, Curved Air, Soft Machine and Pink Floyd. Those roots explain a lot about how Caravan arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Soft Machine, Hatfield and the North, Camel, National Health and Matching Mole, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into I Can See Your House from Here, Hatfield and the North, Carabao, Rain Dances and Steve Hillage, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 34 connections around Caravan, reaching back through Jimmy Hastings and forward to I Can See Your House from Here.
