I can advice "Mirage" for starting Camel. That's an incredible exciting album. "Snow Goose" and "Moonmadness" are pretty cool too. Besides, don't forget to listen the first album.

Have a nice journey with Camel..

I think "Moonmadness" is one of the greatest prog rock albums I have ever heard! I loaned "Snow Goose" from library, but I found that quite boring.  Does anybody know why? Wasn't "Snow Goose" done before "Moonmadness"? Should I try some albums after "Moonmadness" then?

I don't know what all the fuss is about Snow Goose either! It was a huge hit though and brought camel to the attention of many. It was the album before Moonmadness and the one after is Raindances, which I reccommend.

Fritha may be my name here but Mirage is the album I prefer. Not that I have anything against The Snow Goose. 

I do enjoy Camel quite a bit, especially when in need of relaxing music. Prog-lite it may be in some ways, but there is nothing wrong with a more poppy approach to music if executed well.

I have a hunch that I will soon end up getting the Camel albums with Richard Sinclair's touch on them, as at present I am tracking down his contributions to prog's musical legacy. I love his voice and adore his approach to the bass. 
I was made to love magic

I have seen that in a library, but I think the covers seemed so dull, I didn't loan it. In such situations, when choosing something from big selection with out depositing money to it, the covers seems to alter my decisions! I checked out "Raindances" from the archives, and it seems musically promising!

Thanks, I'll try it!
