I'm in a freefall, like a snowflake falling
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Moonmadness just above Snow Goose and Mirage
Honourable mention to Nude as well

I've spent last week relistening to the whole Camel's discography (including a live record)  in chronological order. Apart of the 80% of The single factor, there's not an album that I don't like. I can See your House from Here has the weakest song ever released by Camel (Remote Romance) but has also Ice. Rajaz is a masterpiece but Stationary Traveller is one of the best albums of the bloody 80s. 

I was hoping to be in UK for Salisbury but my boss has moved the monthly meeting to last week Confused

But this depends on what you want to hear.
Yes, generally I`d also say Moonmadness but anyhow Harbour of Tears, too!
Therefore you can ask the eclipsed magazine, too, I guess.

I never liked Moonmadness that much, and The Snow Goose is sort of missing something, so for me its Mirage

I think you know something I strongly suspect that isn't yet public knowledge!

BTW - anyone seeing Camel on their tour?

I'm in Harrogate on Oct 19th - I haven't seen them do the full Snow Goose album (because I was not around for the 75 tour when they last did it) and I can't wait. If anyone wants to meet for a beer before, I'm up for it.

Moonmadness. Lunar Sea is among my favourite instrumentals of all time.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Moonmadness, with the highlight being the most quintessential use of the Freeman string synthesizer by Bardens on "Lunar Sea."

Really dig Rain Dances and Breathless as well, and I don't fall asleep anymore while listening to the Snow Goose. I am actually on the cusp of being won over by it methinks.

Read the Paul Gallico story on which it's based. Once you've done that, its true brilliance becomes apparent. If you don't know the story, I could quite easily understand why you fall asleep.

It's been on my reading-list for a long time. Thanks for the reminder.
