Best of the first four Camel albums

I think some people don't fully understand that the Snow Goose is an adaption of a novella by Paul Gallico and that, in order to actually appreciate it fully, you HAVE to have read that story.

It tells a story without words, and that's incredible.

The only vaguely comparable piece I can think of is Peter and the Wolf, which still has to use a narrator to link the instrumental sections.

When talking about Mirage, it looks in some ways to me similar to and probably at least partly inspired by Khan's Space Shanty, but I find Space Shanty not so little better - even I haven't listened that much to Mirage.

Anyway, until some years ago, The Snow Goose was the most appreciated Camel album. 

Well, I just looked it up and saw five polls between MM and Mirage and MM won three and two others where they tied. Plus MM is beating Mirage in this one so far.

I'm going mostly by polls and ratings on here and ratings on rate your music and maybe some other places as well.

Me neither. I thought Moonmadness would win easily.
