MIRAGE

This record has a special ranking in my library cause it has to be considered the first album to get me into prog rock. IMHO CAMEL here were at the edge of releasing three consecutive masterpieces "Mirage" , "The Snow Goose" and finally "Moonmadness" that shaped their unique style. Back to the album, The most noticed thing here is the superb guitar work from Andy Latimer; beautiful guitar riffs and solos especially in the two epics "Nimrodel" and "lady Fantasy". Supertwister is a mellow instrumental track that contains some nice flute playing. "Freefall" and "Earthrise" are more vigorous tracks, still sounding very good. Overall this album is a classic masterpiece of prog rock, Highly recommended!
