MIRAGE

For me this recording marks the start of Camel's golden period and is one of my most favourite albums. Inspired playing from the band with atmospheric keyboards and killer guitar solos. All five tracks are strong but my particular faves are the three part Tolkien inspired Nimrodel/The Procession/The White Rider, featuring a superb otherworldly solo at the end, and the evergreen Lady Fantasy.

I first bought the album in 1976 and still regularly listen to it. The mark of a true classic.

Five stars - no question.
