Try some later Camel releases too - they're what I imagine Pink Floyd SHOULD sound like but don't!

e.g. Dust & Dreams, Harbour of Tears, Rajaz, etc. David Gilmour should take a leaf out of Andy Latimer's book in my opinion (and I'm a grea fan of both by the way )

     Maybe Camel is a good place to start in prog, because it's pretty easy &
accesible, and it only gets better and more interesting from there.

Don't try looking for a Camel clone because noone comes close.

Caravan are not like Camel really but the 2 bands have interacted in terms of personnel and ITLOGAP is a wonderful album and a must have.

As one of Camel's biggest fans, I would recommend bands which have some similarities and also give me great satisfaction, so Mostly Autumn come top of the list. The Spirit of Autumn Past and The Last Bright Light are among the best albums ever made. There is a lot of flute and keyboards as well as some marvellous guitar. Like Came,l the male vocals can be a bit dodgy at times but the female vocalist has the voice of an angel! See them live if you can.

I would also suggest Anglagard might be worth a listen, as could Focus, who use flute and some storming guitar and keyboards but are not so mellow. Still great.

I recently bought their first 5 on CD.

It's timeless music!

Something similar to Camel? Try Marlboro  But seriously, I think Camel is a one of a kind band, which has no decent comparison.

Agreed. I have been a fan since 1975. And; now, you can get everything on CD. I have lots of their vinyl.

Try Caravan's  For girls who grow plumb in the night. I know they aren't in the same genre but they still have something in their sound that makes people compare them.

In my opinion you should avoid Mostly Autumn. You may be severely dissapointed. Very dull.

I was in the same situation some months ago, desesperately looking for some other Canterbury bands... You can try Caravan, Hatfield and the North, Soft Machine... That would be a start... Look for Nine Feet Underground by Caravan. If you enjoyed Camel Snowgoose or Moonmadness you should like!

Novalis - Sommerabend.

I hear some Camel influence on this one. Recommended.

Pendragon have their Camel-esque moments; notably the way Nick Barrett's guitar fuses with Clive Nolan's keys which reminds me of Camel at their best. I love 'The Masquerade Overture'- it's probably one of the best new symphonic prog albums I'd heard in a while.

I think The Flower Kings are very influenced by Camel.

Novalis is very good but instead of sommerabend i would recommend the self titled album
this one is imo considerably better.

I like Camel very much and I would always recommend the Flower kings but i don't think they resemble each other.
