Jan Schekhaas - Dark Ships

2008 album from Jan Schelhaas, whose playing and writing has graced both Caravan and Camel over the years. Noted for his compositions "Captured" and "Hymn to Her" for Camel, Schelhaas has finally recorded an album of his own music. Featuring guest appearances from Doug Boyle and Jimmy Hastings, Dark Ships follows in the tradition of the Canterbury sound, albeit with more ambient influences. Jan has delivered a well crafted album which is certain to appeal to fans of the three C's: Caravan, Camel and Canterbury. Esoteric.
