Somebody help me here. Can this truly be the same band???
From the excellent first "Gravedigger" hard rock lp to the limp Kitaro/Yannish newage slobber-pap of "Journey". |

The band is Janus, although I believe that Out of Time came out before Journey. that's huge gap between albums. Journey came out in 1991 and Gravedigger in 1972. Different times. |

The OP said no albums with a gap longer than 5 years. It makes sense.  Edited by Cristi - April 13 2025 at 11:57 |

Within 5 years?
Jethro Tull's This Was (1968) To Aqualung (1971), Thick as a Brick (1972), A Passion Play (1973) They went from a pseudo-Cream-style blues rock band to a hard rock/folk/prog stadium chameleon monster. Hell, one could say the approach of Stand Up (1969) was a radical departure from This Was.

How about Mike Oldfield from Incantations to Platinum and his 80's albums? I'm sure he had many other dramatic leaps in his sound from one album to the next. Rick Wakeman should have some very notable changes of sound between some of his albums, going from prog rock (or at least rock) to solo piano or New Age.

From Camel Moonmadness to Rain Dances. There was a change in direction. They sounded more jazzy on Rain Dances . Also a bit more Pop oriented. "Highways Of The Sun" sounding the most commercial and I began remembering the style on The Snow Goose or White Rider from Mirage...which wasn't a commercial style. On Rain Dances the Pop style began to surface.
From Raindances to Breathless. By the time Breathless was released it was evident that they were making attempts or efforts to write hit records. I Can See Your House From Here was another attempt at perhaps writing a song that would chart. Nude, Single Factor and Stationary Traveller ...all 3 seemed to have similarities to Alan Parsons Project. From Stationary Traveller to Dust And Dreams. A huge change in composition. Dust and Dreams, Harbour Of Tears, Rajaz, and A Nod And A Wink all seemed geared toward Latimers writing style...which!!...had matured even more alongside some of the instrumentals that reflected pieces from Camel's past...such as "Lunar Sea".... |

From Jade Warrior ....Last Autumn's Dream to Floating World.
The early albums contained Rock songs with the influence of Asia music. The piece "Dark River" is a good example of this. When Jon Field and Tony Duhig signed with Island they extended more on the influence of Asia music and remained an instrumental band releasing the following: Floating World Waves Kites Way Of The Sun Horizon At Peace Breathing The Storm Distant Echoes ....until reforming with singer Glyn Harvard and returning to their early style ..but with a more modern sound.. |
