NEEM DAT TERUG!!!

I'm getting the album on vinyl within 2 hours!! along with camel - camel, yes - close to the edge and jethro tull's aqualung.... Moonmadness was the only album this whole trade was accually about! Moonmadness is in my top 5 best albums ever! I just LOVE every second of it! (ah ok.. Aristilus isn't that interesting ).. Camel is in my eyes the best band of the 70ies.. Moonmadness their keyalbum.. maybe even a 10/10..

It's my favourite Camel album.
When it came out in 1976 I rated it higher than any Genesis album and I was a Genesis fanatic.The synth,Mellotron and guitar playing on that album is stunning.It was not off of my turntable for months.

 

Fully agree 'Moonmadness'..Hey man erg nice picture of the pussy album..bet you aint got it on vinyl?££££££££

 

Camel, in general, is quite an underrated band ... I think it's their understated style myself ... I have the first six Camel albums and they are full of wonderful songs ... some widely acknowledged like Lunar Sea and Supertwister ... some less so like Mystic Queen and (gulp) Down On The Farm ... I should confess though that despite containing some great music, The Snow Goose is the album I enjoy the least ... I rate em ...

Mirage (by a country mile), Moonmadness, Rain Dances, Camel, Breathless and The Snow Goose

Snow Goose and Mirage don't show off Andy Latimer's musicianship as well as the later albums. Check out Moonmadness, Rain Dances, and Breathless who cares about musicianship, the songwriting on The Snow Goose is damn near flawless I personally really enjoy moonmadnes and raindances, probably more than Mirage, Aaron

I completly agree, thought the snow goose doesnt show off what Latimer
can really do, the songwriting itself is top notch!

Doesn't look like the song or the album are underrated here - both are superb!!

MOONMADNESS.
It's my favourite Camel album.
When it came out in 1976 I rated it higher than any Genesis album and I was a Genesis fanatic.The synth,Mellotron and guitar playing on that album is stunning.It was not off of my turntable for months.
As a 16 year old (in 1976)many an evening was spent in my bedroom refining my tennis racket guitar solos to this album. I didn't get out much then.Nothings changed.

I Love Moonmadness - Possibly my favourite Camel production too..........I love the opening track Aristillus..............IN fact this CD hasn't got a weak track on it - Just simply Marvellous !

AND UNDERRATED
