MOONMADNESS

Ive always been fond of CAMEL...i think they are a very good example of progmusic in its superb prime!!! As a starting point i think that the UK prog groups are/were far better ...i even think that they ( the UK crowd) created the form progressive!!!! Frontrunners being Pink Floyd;Camel,Moody Blues,Barclay James Harvest...yes i know you have several suggestions to whom else could be frontrunner.....bare with me...this is my view!!!! I Know there are MANY other excellent prog groups...and not only in the UK.....but...... and there are a BUT....for CAMEL...really deserves a special place i your progheart!!! Just listen to their 4 first albums....look at the production rate....and they still excist!!! Allthough livin in the USA....Andy Latimer...still creates wonderful music...and still..... finding superb musicians...whom bring the superb music of Camel to the front !!! Now...Moonmadness...are to me, one of our times (progtimes) most wonderful outings!! There are great themes....great guitaring....wonderful keys....extremely well arranged songs.........as always with Latimer....he wont let you down....this album is by far.... G R E A T S T U F F !!! And to fellow reviewér :Symphonic age. Yeah..i know what you mean.....but in my humble opinion...adding a singer...... to any band.....brings us.... yet another dimension to the music....if allready brilliant...there´s a chance that we.. the listener.....get a chance to .....get behind the mind of the author (singer/composer?) This album has always been one of my favorites!!! Yes....i admit, im a great Camel fan!!! 5 stars........well of course....CAMEL are really supreme !!!
