MIRAGE

My first Camel album, the first Camel masterpiece and the beginning of their perfect album trilogy. Nimrodel/The Procession/The White Rider was the one song that blew my mind so badly one beautiful day that I couldn't rest until I found every single studio album they released. That song still does it for me, as do all the four that accompany it. The White Rider and Lady Fantasy are among their biggest masterpieces and the shorter songs don't fall behind, I consider all of them five star work. The emotional value this album has lifts it a bit above the following two, so give it another halfstar.
