If you like Mirage, try the first maybe...its not quite as good, but its similar. Moonmadness is also great! ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

If I was you I would get Snow Goose or Moonmadness (and Breathless) ------------- "Let's get the hell away from this Eerie-ass piece of work so we can get on with the rest of our eerie-ass day" |

Agreed, I love Breathless even though it never gets any respect in the archives! Same goes for Rain Dances and I can see your house from here. Great if you like the poppy and sometimes jazzy side of prog. A Nod and a Wink and Rajaz are better than the just mentioned albums but if you want to go with their older stuff I suggest 'Nude' which is very good and shows some of their 80s sound. If you want to stick with their classics though, get all their albums up to Rain Dances. I think that one should own Camel's entire discography although I know that's not reasonable to suggest. |

| Get everything from 1973 to 1978 and the get "Nude" (1980). This is Camel at its best!!! The rest is nothing especial and most of the time dull AOR. |

| I forgot something! If you like Camel, you'll probably like Rousseau's first two records ("Flower in Asphalt" and "Retreat".) |

Rousseau's great |
. I like "Retreat" and "Square The Circle".Posted By: DACE

Yep!! Their music in their first albums is IMHO better than what Camel were doing in the same period of time ("I Can See..." and "The Single Factor".) |

| 'Rajaz' is excellent. Lawrence is fabulous! |
