THE SNOW GOOSE

The Snow Goose could be easily the best concept album of symphonic prog and the best Camel's album too; the one that can be called an "Essential Masterpiece" of music, more than Moonmadness or Mirage.

This one must be on your prog catalog together with Close to the Edge, Fragile, Spartacus, Hamburguer Concerto and other gems of symphonic rock. Based on Paul Gallico's novel, this CD shows Camel's potential at maximum, where Bardens and Latimer join forces and together create an unique, fresh concept album.

NOTE: While Gallico hated the cigarretes (the cigars company with the same name of the band), his almost unknown novel became very famous thanks to this album. Before this release, the band was thinking to compose music from Siddartha, among others.

However, this is my favourite Camel's CD, and a must-have to proggers. Highly recommended.
