I've also got a live DVD of Imaginary Day. Need to blow the dust off of it. Haven't watched it in a while. |

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Not that I like The Way Up very much, though it's a pretty impressive work to say the least. And yeah, Imaginary Day is a great album, now I have it in my collection, stole it from my dad's He's a huge fan of him, but I think he bought a lot of his latest releases without even listening to them, so I might steal some more of those |

Be careful about 'bringing an old friend from out of the basement' you may be arrested
I am intrigued to what it may be?

The Way Up got good reviews so I got a copy. But compared to The Pat Metheny Group album and stuff of that era I was disappointed. I liked Imaginary Day a lot though. Here's a rare bird: I tried to add this to the Sky discography way back and was smacked down. I think the smacker isn't around anymore. Maybe I should try again. From a fan site for the curious: " I've added this page because this LP is quite possibly the single most frequent topic of emails I've had about this site (closely followed by "Where can I get a copy of Cadmium / Great Balloon Race ?"). Ordinarily, I wouldn't bother including an item on this record here, but Morning Sky is a curiosity which confuses many people, for several perfectly valid reasons. The title, presentation, typography and "cast list" make such confusion perfectly understandable, hence this attempt at an explanation. What follows is the text of the standard reply I've always sent to queries about it. It's only indirectly related to Sky (but it is related, which is why I'm even bothering to include it here). Morning Sky is a selection of tracks from two John Williams Jazz/pop LPs, Changes and The Height Below (released in 1971 and 1973 respectively). The A side of Morning Sky is principally the A side of The Height Below, although for some reason in a different order).These recordings featured John Williams playing with a panoply of the major session musicians working in London at the time and it was during the recording of a third album made in the same circumstances (called Travelling, 1978) that the idea for forming Sky was born. The names you can see on the top of the LP cover above could indeed have included Tristan Fry and Francis Monkman as well (Francis Monkman wrote the title track for Travelling)..." http://plum.cream.org/sky/morning.htm The really interesting name at the top of the cover is Rick Wakeman though there's nothing in the keyboards that really sound like signature Wakeman. I made a copy of this album on CD and filled it out with tracks from the Great Balloon Race oddly enough. Edited by Slartibartfast - July 06 2009 at 16:28 |

Aaaa the strange works of Peter Murphy. Consider me a fan. You have inspired me to bring an old freind from out of the basement (figuratively). Right after I'm done listening to: |

The Snow Goose works very good for certain times/moods, specially for sleeping and reading, also for a chilling night drive. Probably will bore you if you're in a rock mood, or in a mood that you really don't want to listen soft guitars, flutes and floating keys in general. |

I forgot, my copy of Snow Goose is actually a Russian CD that also has the live album Pressure Points on it. I'll probably eventually get the rest of their albums, but only time will tell. Mirage is on the for sure list.
Overall, I find Snow Goose to be quite boring, although it does have some really stellar moments.

Maybe not in the same caliber, but I still find most of his recent work very interesting, specially Imaginary Day, the one with As it Is, and The Way Up |

Ah, that's quite perfect I must say. Mirage and A Nod and a Wink are the only essential Camel you're missing, IMO. Rajaz is very good too. |
