Well, I guess I'm wondering if they were working up the album for live performance, and just decided they liked their arrangement of it so much that they felt they should record it.  If that is the case, then I guess it's kind of cool, but I'd prefer to just hear it on a live album (or better still, at the actual show).  In any case, it's great to see Andy looking so good and Camel back in any kind of action.  Hopefully new material won't be far off.

My sentiments exactly. Quite a fright he gave us.


Regarding the re-recording of The Snow Goose? Meh just like Phil I guess. I've never understood the need to do this as an artist, unless you're completely bereft of musical imagination. Could be just that though, but I hope not.

I don't generally see the point in rerecording classics, but I will give this a listen.

That's nice, but I was really hoping for some new material.

I'm not so sure about the pointlesness of this re-recordings. About the Tubular Bells one, actually the one I have is the 2003 re-recording, and I actually love it. However, since I don't really know the original, I'm not one to say which one is better... though I can compare it with the intro which is so famous I have it in a few compilation albums, and I actually like better how it sounds in the re-recorded version, specially because it's got a wonderful bass which is barely audible in the original one. There's also the "Aqualung" re-recording, which would seem even more pointless than the Tubular Bells one, but I actually enjoy more many of the songs on the newer version (specially the shorter less famous ones). However, I'm still not particularly thrilled about this particular new version... I feel the one I have from "A Live Record" is more than enough for me.

Wow, that's interesting! So is this a live `in the studio' recording, or a worked on production?

Is it getting a CD or vinyl release, or just available as a download?

I'm certain I recall the news they were playing the whole album on some upcoming shows?

Camel have re-recorded The Snow Goose

As a taster for the upcoming shows, The Snow Goose has been lovingly re-recorded.  
Faithful to the original with tasty arrangements and enhancements for stage presentation, The Snow Goose is not only a timeless story of love and war.  It is a tale of dignity and kindness lifted to the heart on the wings of an injured Snow Goose through her unique relationship with two humans.  Written by Paul Gallico, this short story inspired this beautiful music.
