Heart of the Matter
4 stars Nice solo album by the keyboard player & founding member of the legendary Canterbury band Caravan.

Don't expect any hyper-dexterous instrumental prowess, however, like it might come from, let's say, "Emerson, Lake & Palmer". What we have here are a bunch of fine, very well sung and arranged, piano ballads (like the first two songs) alternating with some more complex tracks bringing progressive ambiance in the sometimes unconventional harmony, a few unexpected rhytmic signature changes, and room for soloing (as, for example, "If I Run").

"On My Own" is the weak spot to my ears, a rather bland jazzy piece of tropical enchantment. The hot moment for the Canterburian fan may be "Home Again", a suite containing the clearly outstanding leading guitar by Andy Latimer, from Camel.

The vocals by David are good (if somewhat strained at some point) and collaborate in a very effective way to define the Caravan-like sound that one cannot less than expect from a record like this.

Heart of the Matter | 4/5 |
