MIRAGE

Superb album! I listen to it over and over again. It is much more completed than the first one, but it's also quite a different one. I was wondering about the the way the album was made. Everything on the album contains logical order. If someone ask me what I consider real progressive rock I would say Camel - Mirage. It is sample of absolute and pure progressive rock. I believe this album is one of the purest progressive rock albums of all time. I have the feeling Mirage was made to satisfy some professor of progressive rock music, that have written a book for progressive rock. It is full of excellent songs and compositions, especially Supertwister and Lady Fantasy: Encounter/Smiles For You/Lady Fantasy (which I consider as the best composition of whole Camel's career and one of the landmarks of progressive rock). Mirage is closer to jazz than most of symphonic prog albums. The perfect album for everyday use! I can listen to it whenever! A sample of the genre! 5 stars!
