The founder of Kayak who played on many Camel albums has released a solo. Of course it's very similar to some Kayak albums but it looks that his work with Camel has left a sign on him, specially on the title track that has a slow part that sounds very Canterbury. The album features Chris Rainbow so near half of the Camel of the 80s are present. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEqP8fQiPR4 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEqP8fQiPR4 The opening track, the only one that I've found on youtube. ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half.

That's off his second solo Sounds really synth-pop to me, and I wouldn't have thought, based on that, more than Prog Related (due to his Prog relation). From rateyourmusic: Album

It also appears that my copy is just a re.-release of Heart of the Universe. Many thanks for letting me know. I was totally unaware of the previous titles. I trust your opinion as I've listened to the whole album just one time and I'm so enthusiastic with everything is Camel-related that my judgement in this case can fail. ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half.

You've heard more than I. When I said "based on that", I meant to say only based on the youtube track you linked to (which is all I've heard). Maybe others, even based just on that track, would have a different impression.

The rest of the album is very similar at a first glance. ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half. My poor home recorded stuff at https://yellingxoanon.bandcamp.com |

But in this moment I'm listening to Magma. ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half. My poor home recorded stuff at https://yellingxoanon.bandcamp.com |

As long as you mean one of these Magmas, then I can't say I disapprove.
But if you mean some of the other Magma's, that's another story. The Korean Magma is not bad, the Polish one not so much.  ------------- You shall know the greatness of an artist by the humility. I am very humble and therefore very great. |

Good choice. The debut is my particular favourite (and Wurdah Itah is another particular fave). Have you seen this? ------------- You shall know the greatness of an artist by the humility. I am very humble and therefore very great. |

I'll ask the Crossover team to have a look. Some more samples (probably directly to the X-over team guys) would help

It would be like a "prize to the career". But the video posted by Logan....it should be advertised to every Zeuhl fan. It's Zeuhl fun.... ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half. My poor home recorded stuff at https://yellingxoanon.bandcamp.com |
