Gonna go with Moonmadness this time around, "Lunar Sea" and a tad more consistency working in its favor.

Lunar Sea really is an amazing track; definitely one of their best tracks. Chord Change is up there in terms of Camel tracks for me, too.

I really, really love Super Twister from Mirage, as well. The production and the flute lead on that is just pure nostalgic 70's prog magic for me. Taste the analog, mere mortal! LOL

Lunar Sea is Camel's best single track IMO, but as a whole album, Mirage is better than Moonmadness.

Yep the trilogy and Mirage being the best of the three. I would actually put The Snow Goose as the second best, but all three are really good.

Lady Fantasy puts Mirage over the top though for sure.
 
I agree with you, Snow Goose in second   , but , I think Moonmadness in a very close third !!! A fantastic sequence !!!

Both have some great songs, Mirage has my favourite Camel track Lady Fantasy on it, but it also has the two opening songs that don't do much for me. Moonmadness is a more consistent album for me.

I'm on the Mirage side of things but ever so slightly, as others wrote, a very hard pick.

Ok, then, Moonmadness . . .

Love them both, but "Mirage" is the one I reach for more often
