Overground music, this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrg_B1pCors
The sound quality is not that good and I also don't really enjoy the song anyways, but at around halfway through the track, the music gets all mellow and Andy Latimer plays a highly melodic and absolutely beautiful guitar solo, so beautiful and emotional that Latimer himself is seen crying when playing it.

Latimer for me. He is an absolute master of emotive, yearning solos- my faves are 'The Last Farewell', 'Ice', 'The Snow Goose' (the track), 'Pressure Points', 'Stationary Traveller' and latterly 'For Today' and 'Sahara'.

This is too hard to choose. Both have excellent emotional solos, but I can't pick just one.

Funny this poll, this week I watched the P.U.L.S.E dvd and the Camel Footage I dvd... Latimer wins hands down, authentic feel.

I'm tempted to vote Gilmour now, just to offset the massive lead Latimer has at the moment. Then I think about solos like Stationary Traveler and Ice and I just can't bring myself to vote.

I had to think for a few minutes, but, in the end, I voted for Gilmour.
I just prefer his playing overall.

I am a huge fan of Seventies Floyd and Camel and I play guitar, if the focus is on the emotion and I have to choose between Latimer and Gilmour, my vote goes to Latimer (Ice is so moving  ) but I would like to mention that in my opinion Gilmour is better in playing agressive, also an emotion

I'm not sure that "aggresive" is an emotion. Anger certainly is.

Latimer by far. Honestly, I can't remember any time I was emotionally moved by any of Gilmour's solos. That's not to say I don't like him, I like his style an awful lot. I think he gives a very cool sound to the band (Time for example, though the other members contributed to that as well).
Some of Latimer's most moving solos have been in Chord Change, Ice (even though tis an overrated song in my book.), Drafted, and Stationary Traveller. I think the emotion found in Camel's music, guitar or otherwise, is probably why I still prefer them over anyone else and why I still listen to a lot of their later works regardless if it counts as prog or not.

OK Snowdog, let's call agressive a feeling and anger an emotion, does this sound better to you? But what I meant is that I miss the agressive way of playing like Gilmour delivers on Animals and The Wall in Latimer his guitarplay.
Strange to hear from a proghead named Camelfan that Ice is an overrated song because for many Camelfans the build-up and climax is great and the emotion is every time goose bumps  |
