THE SNOW GOOSE

Of the three all-time favorites Camel albums(Mirage, Snow Goose and Moonmadness) I pick this one as the best. Nothing to do with the lack of vocals, I actually like Latimer's voice pretty much. It's simply better than the other two. A sofisticated musical taste can be sensed. Since Nursery Cryme, nothing done in progressive rock (including Genesis golden albums) could be compared in terms of elegance. Now it can. Snow Goose is soft, gracious and gentle. Every single song, in spite of the brevity, has great value, very effective. Much is said without a word pronounced. Though I like most of Camel's works, SG is special. It's the highest and classiest giant among other giants. Something to be listen entirely, as if it was Thick as a Brick, or else it will not be the same. A very beautiful album.
