Camel

* 2023 Stock * "Camel's "MoonMadness" stretches beyond words as is certainly one of my alltime fav's. Centered around the classic Camel line up (Bardens, Ward, Latimer and Ferguson) , they continue to refine their sound. "Moonmadness" contains lots of great progressive styled flowing flute and wicked guitar additions by Latimer. I also love the keyboard sounds which Bardens carefully layers throughout the album. This album contains some of my alltime most loved Camel pieces ("Another Night" and "Chord Change"). For those who do not a lot of Camel, this is a great place to start your collection and work backwards from. "Moonmadness" explores loads of instrumental passages, and background noises are added for dramatic intensity. I always considered this a kind of concept-like recording really and love the atmospheres they create. Songs are allowed to expand, and the only bummer is that the album is over far too soon. Excellent progressive rock." - Progarchives
