WOW I just bought it, and all i can say is that everyone (symphonic prog fan or not), should own this album. It's one of the most original and driven albums ive ever heard. From the amazing "Nimrodel/The Procession/The White Rider" to the pow ------------- something pretentious |

Camel is by far one of my favorite bands. They almost seem forgotten. Everyone of their albums is great, They don't have one single weak one, with maybe the exception of "The Single Factor". And even that has its moments. Mirage ------------- http://www.flywithjet.com">

I picked this up and tried my best to get into it, but it just seems second rate to me, reminds me of a Starcastle disc I also picked up trying to see if I'd appriciate it more now than I did years ago, which I didn't. Just my opinion, but I think this is ------------- 'This is a local shop, there's nothing for you here' |

The first four Camel albums are superb, and in many ways Mirage is their finest hour IMO. Just the right balance of energy and melancholy. It was the first Camel album I bought, and I had no idea what to expect. From the moment |

Lady Fantasy was the first Camel song I heard, and it blew me away. All the other songs are also superb. A great album. ------------- "Progressive Rock is the ultimate form of music" (Mikael Akerfeldt, 2003) |

| Oh yea Mirage was an awesome album. Quite a good listen from start until end, which I found true for most of Camel's albums I've listened (only 3). Personally I prefered "Snow Goose". It was a very moving album for me. Definetely one you can listen from |
