Camel instrumentals are always something to look forward to on every one of their albums.  I could probably come up with 10 more that I enjoy as much as the ones in your opening post, too.  Of the ones you listed, I'm torn between Ice (saddest melody) and The Sleeper (instantly transports me back to age 10, oh the nostalgia).

Since I love Camel, it's very hard for me to choose. Ice/Sahara for a tie maybe, followed very close by Lunar sea and the rest. All excellent pieces.

Lunar Sea or Skylines.

Has to be Skylines. I love it.

I tend to prefer stuff  with lead synth

The Freeman String-symphonizer used on Lunar Sea is amazing.

All of them are amongst my favourites.

When it comes to Camel, I love (almost) everything they've done, but if i had to pick, it would be Lunar Sea, just ahead od Rhayader/RGTT, Stationary Traveller and Ice.

"Rhayader/Rhayader Goes to Town" is my favourite part of the Snow Goose.  The live performance of it is just magical on "A Live Record".

From these options: Lunar Sea or The Sleeper.
Well, I choose The Sleeper this time, brilliant track.

But overall: End Peace from The Single Factor.

This is my thought, too.


One of my best achievements in life was to find this picture :D

The first two on your list:  Lunar Sea, and Stationary Traveller.  Both are prog instrumental classics...

For me, 'Ice' goes down as the most moving instrumental from Camel, though all the instrumentals from 'Arubaluba' through to 'Pressure Points' (as I only have their albums from S/T to Stationary Traveller) are tasteful.  Top shelf music !!
