MOONMADNESS

Moonmadness was the first Camel I bought. It was 20 years ago and I'm alwyas listening to it with the same pleasure. Global sound is spacier than the previous ones due to a great use of synthetizers by peter bardens, a very underrated keyboardist ( he is always palying with his heart - music in general and prog particulary isn't just a question of technicity, feeling is essential and it's rare to find a musician so "intelligent" and sensitive at the same time).

Music sounds as an evidence but I'm always surprised how the musicians developed their ideas. As the three mousquetaires these guys were four and are as one. Certainly a record to bring on a desert island. Another masterpiece by this fantastic band.
