RAIN DANCES

This CAMEL album follows the magnificent "Moonmadness". The expectations were high at that time. Well, "Rain Dances" is less good. Actually, "Rain Dances" is among the worst of the CAMEL's albums. Worst, but still very good! The sound and style are often like "Moonmadness" (first light, metrognome, unevensong, skylines). Just slightly less good. There are couples of ordinary songs like "Highways of the Sun". There are some jazzy parts. The bass is very good; it sounds like a fretless bass. The drums, guitars and keyboards are very good and well played. "Elke" is particularly floating, beautiful and relaxing. Mel Collins plays the saxes.
