You're missing out on one of Camel's best albums if you lost interest in them after 1976. 1999: Camel - Rajaz - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbbAtWt9NH2_fWqOZdxUewUtx5Sx7Llny |

The first four Camel albums are a gas, but Moonmadness is the last one I really dig. Their sound shifted for Rain Dances, maybe it was in production or the tech of the time, but I just don't get into them much after 1976.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

Great lp...probably my fave by them but Mirage is close.
Strange they changed the Moonmadness cover for the US market...thats how my cd art looks ,but I have the US vinyl version art.

An album I loved when it came out but only ended up only playing Side 2 (never Side 1) for a decade or so. Loved the album cover. Love "Lunar Sea" to this day. The rest can be nice occasionally.
A band of which I usually liked their music but never loved more than a couple songs from any album. I liked them enough to keep collecting their albums through the 1980s but have only gone back to listen to their 1990s and later releases lately--with only Rajaz impressing me much. |

Camel, surely one of my favorite all-time bands although I disagree on your album rating, especially Rain Dances and Rajaz, except for Moonmadness.

I was a late bloomer and I didn't hear Moonmadness until the year of 1980 when I bought it in Philadelphia at a record shop called Third Street Jazz And Rock . Up to that point I had been listening to Mirage which I bought in 74' as an import on the Deram label.
Moonmadness intrigued me and I especially liked side 2 of the LP which featured the three tracks "Another Night", "Airborne" and "Lunar Sea". I was living in a kind of retreat house by the woods during that time. I was making good money traveling the road in the music business and I was able to live off that nest egg in a retreat house where I blasted Moonmadness in the evenings. 😃..beautiful times |

Moonmadness was the first Camel album I ever bought and one of my earliest prog albums, nearly forty years before I started buying Genesis and Pink Floyd albums.

I dont know why some people ignore RAJAZ easily. This is a great album.
I am a Camel huge fan and IMO they deserve more than what they got from Prog fans

YouTube links can be as nebulous as a desert Mirage which blow away on the wind like Dust and Dreams, so here they are again, all freshly repaired and replaced with A Nod and a Wink towards a Camel album that's making it's first appearance on YouTube in a long long time. I've also taken the liberty of downgrading the Nude album to a 4-star rating, so I'm Breathless with anticipation to see what you think, but if you disagree, then just put it down to a touch of Moonmadness. 1973: Camel - Camel - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3iRBCmFzEGg8QuVyfAUr05ilgjPWUH-5 1974: Camel - Mirage - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4-oCE2y-CrE1LA1_zjHWcWP82PPCngaH 1975: Camel - The Snow Goose - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_n-E4oCUFb3iPPuQZ3IAh_9LpBh76MJYQU 1976: Camel - Moonmadness - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nyGHrNV07De1VA_TDOmy8b8V9hdj8yxS8 1977: Cemel - Rain Dances - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lACysOFHgWHq-1HaQPQl6Dat2pKlp774U 1978: Cemel - A Live Record - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_m4-adu0ifiojsm-vz-PLACrpKN_AwxEXI 1978: Camel - Breathless - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvsYXqtYjMYfMMJVy2zovBFi_KFCnZZTT 1979: Camel - I Can See Your House from Here - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mY9QnwL06xz0RACCIkp0pTOrgDBaev5Sw 1981: Camel - Nude - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kIekOFMMIc9WnSq2QpGuwZcwwaAIa5Pv8 1982: Camel - The Single Factor - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPmo393DXHIcCQzz57AUxynXHuBqs9FdM 1984: Camel - Stationary Traveller - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVoHLI_LXfji959PEEdKmuvju9WaAg-lX 1984: Camel - Pressure Points - Live in Concert - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5BFJgXr2uDDJTT-64OuQLvOo3oH47D2l 1991: Camel - Dust and Dreams - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aHHd0iIl6M 1995: Camel - Harbour of Tears - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zrh-PzFdu8 1999: Camel - Rajaz - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbbAtWt9NH2_fWqOZdxUewUtx5Sx7Llny 2002: Camel - A Nod and a Wink - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3KNGtTa3WA Edited by Psychedelic Paul - August 08 2023 at 03:18 |

Moonmadness was the last Camel album I really enjoyed. It's probably joint fave with Mirage. The first 4 were classic prog overall. I think they lost something special after that, and their jazzy outputs became like bland musical wallpaper for the rest of the decade. I don't mind some of the later albums.

Camel have that magical balance between being tastefully mellow and more demanding complex parts. Works for me.
