Moonmadness has better sound production and Side Two is near perfection, but I love Mirage's Canterbury feel and it's more consistent prog magic.

It was Moonmadness for me, but I have to refresh my ears... It's been ages since I listened to either.

Their two best albums. Moonmadness by very narrow margin.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Anyone else think Supertwister is one of their best tracks? it's archetypal early 70's instrumental prog rock for me. The production, tone, etc. - everything is perfect! It always reminds me of a snowy winter day, looking out the window sipping some hot tea and reflecting. The flute section is a highlight of their discography IMHO; that was Andy L., correct?

I regard Mirage as the marginally better album, but love them both.
I think it's Andy Latimer's guitar solo on The White Rider that swings it for me |

Ah, yes. Their most classic album vs. the last album with their most classic lineup. I'll go with the latter.

Mirage. Moonmadness's cigarettes are fresh, but not as fresh as Mirage. Although I do think Moonmadness is better organized with it's concept.

Mirage is a mixed bag. Lady fantasy is a bit boring
|

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

I think Mirage is a better overall album with five really strong tracks.
I've never been able to fully get into Moonmadness, though it has my favorite all-time Camel track!
