Ehh. You should try 'Camel' (they called the album this way).
Personally, I didn't like any future albums they had after Moonmadness. I like even less their most recent pieces, I might be mistaken, but after I finished hearing Rajaz, I thought 'That's camel? they sound differently now!". And a change of sound in Camel is not what I'm looking for right now :/
They also included more solos, a 'modern' sh*t.

i know man, i thought that way too, but after couple of times that I heared that album, I'd understand that maybe its not the old camel, but its still very good and uniq album, and the solos are just great for my opinion
and u from israel too, good for u and me

you should get "a live record", it's an amazing show and one of my favorites!!!
it's a double cd and on the second disc they do the whole snow-goose which sound even better than the studio version, imo

A Live Record (which was very high up in the ratings until several people recently in the space of a few days gave it 1* without a review; strange and under investigation by me at the moment!)
Nude
Rajaz
Camel.
None of their albums are bad, but these are these are the next best after the 3 you have.

You have the best three, leave it at that.
The debut album is terribly dull and lacking in a decent tune and post
Moonmadness they move swiftly away from prog into something pretty
unmemorable which I can't think of an ideal name for just now.

Indeed, post Moonmadness (which I believe is their most proggy album ever).
Though, you cannot blame anyone. The band-players that actually made camel what it was in that period are now gone. They aren't there to influence.
proger, I don't think Rajaz is a bad album (unlike some of their previous albums) it's "cute", but I just prefer the old PROGRESSIVE camel and not some band who tries to fake nowaday's modern music. It's as if they're now a completely different genre, with only few prog motives in the background.

Their last album 'A Nod and a Wink' is actually pretty good and interesting.
But you should get Rain Dances too.

Hello Rover,
IMO Rain Dances is good, but lacks in some mordant...
I think it's better Breathless. There are more commercial sounds, but you'll find the song Echoes...one of the best tracks by Camel, one of the best songs ever!!
The price should be very low (I bought it for only 5 Euro!!!)
See you soon!

"Camel", "Rain Dances", "Breathless" and "Nude", the rest are pretty boring IMHO.

Camel On The Road 1972 contains a 14-minute or so live track called "God of Light Revisited" among other gems, such as the only live version available of "Six Ate".
Also worth getting is "A Live Record", which features the entire Snow Goose album performed live - among the other goodies.
I'm also very keen on "Harbour of Tears", but I don't mind their new sound.
Lord of Light Revisited parts 1, 2, and 3, a 20-minute jam, appears on one of the Greasy Truckers albums (c.1972) - you should be able to track these down (on vinyl) for £10 each - and there's great stuff from Man, Hawkwind and Henry Cow on there are well.

The 2002 remastered version of "Camel" includes "God of Light Revisited" live.

Asking for a favourite is quite stupid, with all due respect.
Some will say Snow Goose, some will say Mirage and some Moomadness, these are their best albums, so, you still won't be able to decide.
Though, the best start is with the Snow Goose, no questions there mate.
