专辑简介一:
原文选自:维基百科英文 在灰与粉之地专辑条目
《在灰与粉之地》是英国前卫摇滚乐队大篷车(Caravan)的第三张专辑,发行于1971年4月,由David Hitchcock制作。而且它是乐队初始的四名成员分道扬镳前的最后一张专辑。它是在70至71年写成并录制的,与前两张专辑相比,其中多了更多Richard Sinclair写的素材。前两张专辑的歌大部分是Pye Hastings写的,而在这张专辑里他只写了一首。这张专辑颇受好评,但没有取得好成绩,因此乐队感到沮丧并导致了 David Sinclair最终的离开。不管怎样,这张专辑一直在稳健地发行销售,并且评论推荐这张专辑为接触Canterbury Scene流派的很好的一张入门专辑。乐队自我回顾时对这张专辑感觉很好,其中的一些歌曲成了他们现场演出的固定曲目。
“灰与粉之地”指的是乐队的家乡肯特郡,这个说法是在乐队早期,某次排练过程中Richard Sinclair看着日落时的天空突然想出来的。

在英国坎特伯雷地区涌现的众多值得一提的乐队(包括Soft Machine、Gong 和 Camel )中,与Caravan相比,没有哪个能更好地表现东南教堂小镇的田园风光特色了。
《在灰与粉之地》是这个四人组(Caravan1968-1971的阵容是Richard Sinclair贝斯兼主唱、Pye Hastings吉他兼主唱、Dave Sinclair键盘和Richard Coughlan鼓/打击乐)的第三张专辑,标题和封面使人联想到托尔金笔下中土世界的日落,那音乐在中世纪民谣的旋律和懂爵士的乐师间摇曳摆动,而歌词被Richard Sinclair称为“一堆只有一半有实际意义的词语”。
专辑第一面由短小迷人的歌组成,像Golf Girl、具有托尔金风格的Winter Wine、还有专辑同名曲中超现实的男童子军随笔。第二面只有一首长22分钟,分为8部分的组曲Nine Feet Underground,它有着如同Frank Zappa一般的副标题(比如Dance of the Seven Paper Hankies)

*sandman:睡魔,是北欧及中欧民间传说中的虚构人物。在夜晚人们睡着时他把有魔力的沙子撒在他们的眼睛上,使他们入眠并给他们带来好梦。在安徒生童话中,睡魔(Ole-Luk-Oie)有两把伞,其中一把伞内侧有美好的图案,他将这把伞在乖孩子的床上撑开。他有个同名的兄弟,即“死亡”。
