Camels second album - and my third review. I'll continuing to make a song-by-song go-through. This album is in most parts a marvellous journey.

Freefall (3+) Great instrumentals begins this record and after circa one minute there's some rock n' roll-singing style. A partly bluesy song with great drums but nothing thunderous, really.

Supertwister (5+) A absolutely beautiful beginning with great flute and some weird keyboards. This song gives me a dreamy feeling like Alice in Wonderland combined with great melodies.

Nimrodel (the procession - the white rider) (5+) One of my favourites in the Camel catalogue. It's long, dreamy and boozing, cool, great instrumentals and many parts with changes. The guitar and bass playing are just fantastic. Some good singing too which fits good with the song.

Earthrise (4+) Begins (in Pink Floyd-style) with a wind and then a nice melody with good organ-play.

Lady Fantasy (encounter - smiles for you - Lady fantasy) (5+) Great vibe, great guitar and the albums longest track. The changes from calm melody to blues-rock'n roll and back are great!
