MIRAGE

Camel Mirage is the best Camel album and CD that I own (I have both the vinyl and remastered CD copies) The flute work is very eloquent throughout, and the songs are primarily instrumentals which show off Camel's true Prog side better than their later work increased vocals but also leaned more toward traditional rock structures and melodic lines. Mirage is as close to a Masterpiece as Camel ever achieved. Mirage remains the high water mark for Camel's artistic development. Freefall, Supertwister, and Lady Fantasy are Camel classics all contained on Mirage. And the band's humor of the beer can opening and pouring at the end of Supertwister was mimicked at Prog Music parties all over the globe, myself included. Raised Mug! 5 stars
