Caravan sound

Hi all,

Reading all those postings about organs, e-piano's and fuzz/wah boxes, Caravan
and Softmachine...
It reminds me of another 'old but gold' record: Matching Mole's Little Red 
Record.
Wonderful sounds on that one too!
It is my believe that those guys used relative simple stuff and they probably
tweaked the controls a bit while playing, lucky for them there was no 
Cubase VST
available at the time.. I mean, if it was, well, I'm pretty sure you get 
the point:-)

And perhaps a LP/BPF. Those distorted sounds are very rich in harmonics: fun
to tweak the frequency and resonance controls, by the way , a fuzz box sounds
better that way... especially on your home equipment.
