100% Agree. I am a Camel huge fan. Honestly I don't like Breathless . Finally I vote to ASFAS.

I don't mean to repeat a few previous posts but Breathless is not my favorite Camel album either. I still voted for it because I never really got into Renaissance.

Tormato deserved the defeat in that poll, it's so patchy and uninspired IMO. I listen to ASfAS without skipping a song, I can't stand more than half of Tormato. |
Sure, but I just can't see this huge gap between Tormato and ATTWT. SFAS is quite comfortably rated higher than all these three albums - Tormato, ATTWT and Breathless - on the website. It's a forum phenomenon.

I think, more than telling us about where Renaissance stands, this series might help reinforce the Genesis/Camel worship on PA. SFAS beats Tormato handily but loses out to Breathless/ATTWT....strange. Now Heavy Horses is at least an album that I know even guys who are not huge fans of Tull enjoy (though not me). |

For me this is a tie, since both albums have their good moments, even though are not to par with their predecessors, so frankly, after giving it a thought, I cannot choose one over the other.

Both underrated albums.
Vote goes to Breathless as it not only contains my favourite track of theirs, Echoes, but i also enjoy the jazz-tinged The Sleeper and the decent melodic pop of the title track. Throw in the poignant closing track of Rainbow's End and a humouress track that I actually enjoy, Down on the Farm, and you have a really strong album (IMHO)
Could easily live without You Make Me Smile though...

As is often the case with this poll series, I enjoy both albums. Renaissance wins this one again.

It's a close call but I go with Breathless here which I love to pieces. (Breathless is something like Camel's Camera Camera, somewhat pop oriented but very creative with many surprises and highlights; I know the latter is not a crowd favourite here either.)

yeah seeing them live recently has revitalized my interest, and they included 2 songs from ASFAS on the tour based on fan requests. I am in pretty much total agreement with everything you said, other than voting for ASFAS. I enjoy Breathless more now than when it was current. To me Side 1 is brilliantly executed, and side 2 isn't bad either.

Camel are my favourite band, so for me to vote against them would not be a common occurrence.
But Breathless is not one of their best, so ASFAS gets my vote.
