5 stars One of the most impressive Prog concept albums of all times, Camel's 3rd album remains a beacon shading its light up to this very day upon the desolated shores of today's music. Brilliantly composed, orchestrated and performed, this subtle music symbolizes everything that was the great musical eruption, which happened in the early 1970s. Completely disregarding any commercial influences, the band and mainly the two members, who composed this magnificent music, keyboardist Peter Bardens and guitarist Andy Latimer showed that music has no boundaries and ambition and talent are rewarded in the long run. Bassist Doug Ferguson and drummer Andy Ward support the two soloists with taste and passion and the entire piece immediately achieved the status of a timeless classic. As with all works of substance, in retrospect the music still sounds uplifting and inspiring 34 years later with no trace of getting outdated. This new edition adds bonus material and a whole second CD with live recordings done for the BBC, an endless source of historic material. Simply outstanding and an essential piece of music history.5.0
