I'll go for Mirage. Close second is Snow Goose. Moonmadness simply doesn't resonate with me... ------------- He neither drank, smoked, nor rode a bicycle. Living frugally, saving his money, he died early, surrounded by greedy relatives. It was a great lesson to me -- John Barrymore |

very hard, I prefer the Snow Goos live version, so its between the elegant and always playable Moonmadness against prog tour-de-force Mirage. Mirage it is. A honorable mention for the debut and Nude. |

Many, many great albums.. Am I the only one that thinks the new re-recorded Snow Goose sounds dull? All the charm of the original, all the strength of the arrangements was completely changed to a more modern sound. And yet it's rated (pretty much) as high as the original! Was it just hype that increased the rating so? Anyways.. Snow Goose > Rain Dances/Moonmadness > Mirage |

I love Camel but it seems like I listen to their less proggy material. Breathless and Rain Dances are fabulous stuff. Out of their proggy stuff it is obviously Mirage for me, but Breathless and s/t are the ones I put on when I'm feeling some Camel. ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

I thought that might have been you who voted for that, until I then read your previous post! I'm actually glad to see even just a little love (ie one vote!) thrown `Strationary's way. It's quite a decent album, and Andy's guitar lifts even the poorer moments. I don't expect to see a vote for `The Single Factor', but it's really note quite as bad as it's made out to be. For my vote...I can't decide, I could pretty much throw a dart at any of the first few up to and including `Rain Dances' and be pretty happy with the results! |

For me, it's not just the best Camel album, but the best album ever recorded. The emotion it conveys; its astonishing ability to portray scenes, people and tell a story without words, is utterly amazing. The playing is perfect and I never tire of playing it. Moonmadness comes a close second, with its spacy atmosphere and elegant playing. Mirage, Rain Dances, Nude, Rajaz and A Nod and a Wink are all 5 star albums too, and Stationary Traveller is growing on me all the time. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

Great poll.The Result (till now) show me why Camel is a "Underrated Band" (IMO). Mirage+Snow Goose+Moonmadness votes = 45 Dust and Dreams+Harbour of Tears+Rajaz+A Nod and A Wink = 4!!! This show me Younger fans not interested to listen Camel because of Older fans don't like (or don't want) to talk about Camel's post "Stationary Travelers" albums. RAJAZ is one of the best albums of Camel (IMO). Emotional and Technical album with great sound and good Lyrics but don't listened as it deserve to listened!

I may be Camel's biggest (and one of their oldest) fans and I certainly do listen to their more recent albums. I rave over Rajaz; every note is a delight. I think A Nod and a Wink is a quintessentially English masterpiece with For Today as one of the greatest pieces of music ever written. I don't like Dust and Dreams or Harbour of Tears quite as much, but there's some great music on there. The reason the later albums don't get many votes is because Mirage, The Snow Goose and Moonmadness were just so damned good. Only Genesis (with Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot and Selling England) have released three consecutive albums that come near them. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

There are of course also those who believe that rock is a young man's game -That most of the 70s acts, while continuing to make quality music up to this day, still don't hold a candle to their younger selves. I am very much in that camp myself, although I'd love to be proven wrong. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Why you dont listen Rajaz? I 70% agree!! with you about first part of your post but I mean no one support or promote Camel's newest albums.
Why you didn't choose Rajaz (or any other) for listening? I think because when you refer to Camel's Page in PA (or other sites maybe) , You choose albums with High rate and bigger number of raters (IMO). Is it correct?

1) Younger Prog Music fans (not only younger age) that never listened Camel's (4) latest albums.
2) 100% Agree but first you must listen to music then you find that you like or you don't like that music. You can't judge an album without listening to it.
3)We (Camel's fans) should introduce to others by threads or polls or... I can't convincing any one and I don't want to try to convince others but I can introduce or not? Can I write a review or not?

1) In this case, "younger" isn't the word. Can't apply the concept of youth (which has to do with age and age only. Unless we are talking poetry, we are sticking to prose.). Maybe "people who haven't been listening to prog long enough" would do. Not sure whether there is a word for that. 2) True, but in all honesty (and I'm saying this as someone who's been listening to music for about ten years now) I still do that. I think it's a psychological thing. That's why I listen to iTunes samples of tracks to make sure that I won't waste my time and patience on purchased music I won't like. 3a) "This show me Younger fans not interested to listen Camel because of Older fans don't like (or don't want) to talk about Camel's post "Stationary Travelers" albums." OK, now you got me really confused. Rajaz is a post-Stationary Traveller album. Since you've made it very clear that you love Rajaz, this invalidates your statement that all people who haven't been listening to Camel long enough avoid all post-Stationary Traveller albums albums disliked by all old-time Camel fans (those that have been listening to Camel long enough). If I misunderstood your statement, then it's because it needs more clarity. It needs to be rephrased. (Working on your diction, or getting someone who writes in better English, would be step one. Avoiding certain implicit generalizations about any group of people would be step two.) 3b) "We (Camel's fans) should introduce to others by threads or polls or... I can't convincing any one and I don't want to try to convince others but I can introduce or not? Can I write a review or not?" Yes, you can introduce other people to whatever you want to introduce them to, but what does this theme of introduction here in (3b) have to do with the osmosis of disliking in (3a)?

1) What to do with it ?! You said In this case... Are you dictionary? Who can talk about words means in different cases? You?! I don't think so. Please don't try to correct me and let me to write incorrect. I'm sure you get my opinion.Let Imagine you right. OK . What can I do for you?! Younger age or Younger to listen Prog music. Now what?
2) Are you sure to understand what I said? I said : First You must listen then You can talk about that. this is my honest opinion. I don't care how do you choose an Album or any musical products and I don't like to know about that. Maybe you like talk about yourself and proud to your "Choosing System". This is not my business. I never said how you choosing or buying. You add this to my post.
3) I'm sure you totally don't understand me and this isn't my fault. I like "A Nod and A Wink" more than Rajaz.
I said "This show me Younger fans not interested to listen Camel because of Older fans don't like (or don't want) to talk about Camel's post "Stationary Travelers" albums.
Yes I stand on it. "Stationary Traveller" released in 1984 and "Dust and Dreams" released in 1991. 7 years GAP in Camel career is one of Important reasons that made Camel Underrated. I guessed You know about that. I don't want talk about another bands. This is about Camel. You wrote : "Rajaz is a post-Stationary Traveller album. Since you've made it very clear that you love Rajaz (YES I love Rajaz.Now What?), this invalidates your statement that all people who haven't been listening to Camel long enough avoid all post-Stationary Traveller albums albums disliked by all old-time Camel fans (those that have been listening to Camel long enough).
What is this? You try to proof what? My words is short and very clear : We didn't try to promote Camel's Post Stationary. I talk about PROMOTE and SUPPORT. This is very simple but you are confused (as you repeat that many times) and You can't see simple things clearly. And unfortunately you continue with:
(Working on your diction, or getting someone who writes in better English, would be step one. Avoiding certain implicit generalizations about any group of people would be step two.)
This is not your business. I guess you are YOUNG person (in both mean of Young) . You said you listened to Prog or .. 10 years:
"honesty (and I'm saying this as someone who's been listening to music for about ten years now)" and this show me you are young IMO . You are not discuss like a gentle person. I am in PA from 2009 and I listened to Progressive Rock music over 30 years (I don't proud to this like you that proud to your 10 years). I pay for music more than you can think about it. I saw guys like you so much. YOUNG guys that think they know everything and accused and insult to others . I don't know you try to proof what?
3b) You can't understand 3a) but refer to 3a) to proof 3b)!!! I know what I wrote. This is very simple again. I try to show the way for promote Camel and Introduce better them to other people that THEY LIKE to do that. You try to explain my mean but you can't understand even 10% of it! This isn't about my English or my fault. This is about your "Understand Level" and Unfortunately I can't help you in this case!!!
All things that I tried to say is : Camel's fans that like Camel's "post S.T" albums CAN promote their (our) fav Band by write a review or make polls and Topics in PA or another sites that they like. Very very simple and clear. If you don't understand it , search to yourself and try to understand others not as you did : Talking about music that you don't listened to that music or listened iTunes samples!!!
I'm sure you try to attack to me harder but I don't care about that. I like youths and I know they have more energy (as you) than me. Thanks

^ Look, I did not mean to insult you, OK? This is just another one of those Internet moments where a person invests himself way too much emotionally into an innocuous argument and perceives something as a personal attack. That's all I'm saying. If you don't want to have an intelligent discussion but merely let yourself be so easily offended, then you can tell me to stop. The only way I can understand you is if you can clearly state your opinion in English. Case in point:
A normal conversation is just something a lot of us have to work on, especially on the Internet. But if you read too much into what I wrote, there is nothing I can do about it.
Come to think of it, I actually regret writing that big threefold reply.

| "Breathless" is a different album (IMO) in Camel's Career. I recommend "Rajaz" and "Harbour of Tears" to you (if you didn't listen to them) and "Mirage" in older albums. If you start with "Breathless" , this is not a good start if you like to know Camel music (I used many IF!!!). I don't know your taste but I stand on my recommendations !!! |

^ I think I started with ... The Snow Goose, then moved on to Mirage and Moonmadness, but that holy trinity did not do much for me. Believe me, I tried. Many times. You can go on my Last.fm profile. I admit, and unabashedly so, that I just loved the way Camel handled the pop/disco elements (in their own way!) on Breathless, especially Andy and Pete. I appreciate your recommendations, although my tastes are very specific. I try to tread carefully. I like individual tracks on some of the albums I've heard (like "Elke" on Rain Dances). But hey, (1) since so many people raved about "Ice", which I grew to love (as I did most of the album it's on), and (2) so many people rave about "For Today" on A Nod And A Wink, then I just might check out "For Today", and maybe the rest of the album. Perhaps I take myself a bit too seriously when it comes to music and music discoveries.

No surprise that it's a toss up between Mirage and Moonmadness......I went with Moon but next week I might say Mirage. I turned my brother onto Mirage about a year before he passed away. Even though he and I have been listening to prog since '69, he never really got into Camel these last 40 years. He liked it quite a bit. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

Hi. The Snow Goose is a Exact Masterpiece and 5/5 rate (IMO). This is a great start.The"Start Album" of a band or musician is very important (IMO). Now I talk about my experience : The first Glass Hammer album that I listened is "Chronometree" . This catch me from first listen and made me to try hard to find their albums. I found "Shadiwlands" and "Lex Rex" . "Shadowlands" is a great album in Symphonic Prog style BUT "Lex Rex" is a different album. This is a Folk album and very different. After first listened , I doubt about that and I said to myself : " No! this isn't Glass Hammer album. I buy a FAKE album and waste my money!" . After few days I found that "Lex Rex" is a G.H album but very different album!!!
If I start with "Lex Rex" , I never follow Glass Hammer albums and I didn't pay for them. Believe me, Start album is very important . I wish you understand me completely.

Simple, lack of strength, makes me want to sleep, sounds monotonous and soporiferous. I tried to like CAMEL, even bought the Footage Blu-Ray collection, and have their first five albums, didn't sold them, because I never get rid of my LP's and CD's, but they bore me terribly. Moonmadness is a great album,. the others are just boring. -------------

I've grown to enjoy Breathless a great deal, particularly side 1. I always really liked "I can see your house.." Just wondering if you've tried "Stationary Traveller". Very 1980s sound but like an appealing fusion of prog and new wave. To me the tracks just fit together brilliantly

It's the only album that I've never been able to dig into. It's surely better than the poor "The Single Factor", but betwen the two, is more likely that I listen to the second. I don't know why.. ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half. My poor home recorded stuff at https://yellingxoanon.bandcamp.com |

The Snow Goose. I had it recorded on a cassette, but I found it some years ago in LP, and bought it immediately. ------------- http://www.musical--box.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow - My Blog (in Portuguese) |

Moon, Rain and Camel are fine albums. Mirage has 2 cool tracks. Nimrodel and Supertwister. Lady fantasy and Freefall are 2 of Camels weakest tracks of the 70s. They just sound so standard rock in parts ------------- 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. |

Don't have The Snow Goose but do have A Live Record. The latter is a livelier version, but the studio album is an epic in its own right. I do need to hear it again after all these years (and to complete my collection of Camel studio albums). I'm sure all of you care. ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |

| Its very interesting. Mirage , The Snow goose and Moonmadness have over 75% of votes and the Album befor "Mirage" and The album after "Moonmadness" have 5 & 4 votes. I mean votes strart by 5 for debut album and after that go to 26 ,18 , 26 and drop to 4 for "Rain dances". Can you trust to these numbers? I mean if I analysis these numbers , This show me that quality of "Mirage" is very better! than "Camel(debut album)" or "Moonmadness" is very better! Album than "Rain Dances" . My personal opinion is "Moonmadness" better than "Rain Dances" but not with this "Distance". Not 26 to 4 !!! |
