4 stars The Snow Goose is one of those albums by Camel, where you think 'Where have i heard that before?'. Camel had a great tendancy to create this type of music as a soundtrack for something yet to be created.

However, the Snow Goose is a really nice album - one of those you listen to in the dark and it takes you to a certain place. The opening of the album you can hear birdsong and the gentle waves against the beach - and then in comes the flute for Rhayader - and then it moves you to somwhere else.

The Snow Goose really is much like a journey, the music ebbs and flows across the tracks. However, the album's tracks are quite short around 3-5 minutes but the music segues into itself and that to me is a great piece of prog-music.

I highly recommend the Snow Goose to anyone who likes to listen to a nice piece of medieval music and wants to be taken away with it.
