Blind Dog at St. Dunstans is the 7th studio album by Canterbury Scene rock band Caravan. It was released in 1976. This album has a lighter feel than Caravan's previous releases, shifting toward shorter "poppier" songs. This is in part because Pye Hastings became the major force on the album, writing and singing on 8 out of 9 songs and also because Jan Schelhaas replaced Dave Sinclair on keyboards, moving away from lengthy organ-based instrumentals toward piano and synthesizer.

The third Little Atlas output, "Wanderlust". Here is what the guys themselves say about "Wanderlust". "The compositions are filled with vocal-driven melodic passages, punctuated by angular instrumental diversions. Incorporating elements of modern Progressive Rock (e.g. Spock's Beard, Echolyn) and Hey-Day Art Rock (Rush, Genesis, Yes), Little Atlas achieved a thoroughly unique sound that still manages to pay homage to their influences."

John Lees (Barclay James Harvest) - A Major Fancy (1977)

A Major Fancy is Lees's paintbrush of rock music, done outside Barclay James Harvest despite that not completely disconnected from the big band. The recording finished in 1972, but everything went on stand-by until late 1976-1977. As the grand vocalist in BJH, Lees receive, right here, both a greater freedom of expression and a weaker kind of inspiration. His album is placid (even lowly significant) but fruitful, plotted on an unforgettable serenity, nevertheless full of flavor.
