Yes, that album is very 'Floydy' at times, isn't it?

Rajaz is genuinely one of their best records. The title track is a terrific piece of music, a definitive moment in their discography. But Three Wishes, Lost and Found, Sahara and Lawrence are also complete showstoppers, great songs. Nod and a Wink (hence the PFP) is another favorite, but all three of these have quality stuff within them. The version of Dust and Dreams off the live album Never Let Go is definitive, so much better than the studio recording. Harbour of Tears is a really pretty record, I love Trad Irish Folk so I think delving into those sounds and styles in the context of Camels discography is a really bold and interesting move. But yeah, gotta be Rajaz for me.

Love them all (a lot), actually.
Voted Rajaz only because of Lost  and Found & Straight to My Heart - pure Camel bliss (better yet seeing  Andy enjoying himself delivering those guitar licks live)

Thanks everyone for your interest and taking the time to pick an option... Camel are a band I've been listening a great deal to over the past 18 months.

Well, the general consensus seems to be that Camel's studios enjoyed a late flowering in terms of quality and although I think I'd agree with the outcome, I think all 4 are really lovely pieces of work. Dust And Dreams may only have garnered 2 votes (it's possibly not quite as rounded as the latter two) but I listened to it again this evening and it is a very tender and emotive musical rendering of Steinbeck's work.

Has to be one of the latter two. I definitely gave A Nod And A Wink considerably more attention.

Very hard to choose, but I voted for 'Harbour Of Tears'.

I really love all of their albums. I can't believe it's over 20 years since A Nod And A Wink came out.

Maybe Camel will release just one more album?

Tricky choice, but A Nod And A Wink gets my vote.
It has a particular poignancy in being the latest (I won't say "last") Camel album; especially when you hear the music and lyrics of For Today, bearing in mind what Andrew Latimer was going through with his illness. For me there are no fillers in the album. Even with Fox Hill with its quirky, and some might say silly, lyrics and storyline, but amazing virtuoso playing, I get a strong impression of a band taking pleasure in their art in the face of suffering.

Difficult choice because I love all. But, maybe A Nod And A Wink.

Thanks everyone for their thoughts...

Seriously, I'm in Manuel's situation; I feel there is far too narrow a gap in quality for me to choose. A month ago, I'd decided it might be A Nod, but I've been playing Rajaz again over the past few days... Approve

By coincidence I relistened to Rajaz yesterday afternoon. I think it's the best Camel release after Moonmadness.
