Great idea, but I'll have to have a long think. There is just too much classic material.

Hi,
Gawd ... can you make this harder? ... this is killing me!
"The Snow Goose" from beginning to the end non stop!
I like "Mirage" and "Moonmadness" a lot, and "Mirage" was the first album of theirs I got 3 months after it came out. I liked the cover when I first saw it at Moby Disk and bought it!

| I would have thought you could exchange almost any track for another and not make much difference. A nice group, competent, thoughtful, musicianly, but the package would never amount to first rate whichever way you shuffle the cards. |

This is just too hard to do. So many great songs. Im surprised no one has included Song Within a Song so far. That's one of my favorites! ------------- Once upon a time there was some writing on the wall we all ignored, until the time that there was war and feasts of famine at our door |

| "Lunar Sea" is magnificence in his purest form. One of the most beautiful instrumental pieces of all times. "A Heartīs Desire", pretty tune with Hooverīs lyrics. "Single Factor" is a good album, frequently underrated -Perhaps not the most equilibrated, but very fresh in his pop approach at the same time--- |

| I am somewhat new to Camel, but have been enjoying what I've heard. The first album I got, and the only one I've really heard thoughtfully and enough times is Mirage, and that one I liked a lot as a whole. I also got "a Live Record", with the whole of "The Snowgoose", so once I hear enough of it I'll have enough material to make a list. I also got the compilation "Lunar Sea"... but as a matter of fact, what I had in mind while buying it was that I wanted to buy "Moonmadness"... found out about my mistake once I had taken it out of it's wraping, and then didn't dare to try to ask the store to give it back. Anyway, I don't think I regret buying it. |

I totally agree about Lunar Sea. Heart's Desire/End Peace (for me it is one song) is actually my favourite Camel song! I like Single Factor and I agree it is underrated. But then again, my tastes are a bit crossover sometimes. It is fresh indeed. |

This is a a very good prog rock compilation, and a good vivisection of band's career.
For some reason, the tracks from the first albums are not included here, neither the
tracks from the newer albums. Fine. I first discovered CAMEL through their
masterpiece, "The Snow Goose", then I discovered their debut, and then this nice
little compilation record. It was a record on right place and in right time, at least
for me.My only negative remark about this one is the inclusion of perhaps a bit too many songs from "The Snow Goose"; of course this is not necessary bad, because it's a nice thing for a newbie to discover, and all the songs from that instrumental album are awesome, hands down. But honestly, I don't like to see (and hear) a different parts and excerpts of a conceptual piece out of its conception. However, this was a huge discovery for me. It struck me with equal strength as CAMEL struck me when I heard them for the first time: "Freefall", "Lady Fantasy", "Metrognome", "Lunar Sea"... what an incredible collection of songs. We can always argue the selection of the songs for a compilation, but in my opinion, this songs are the most essential CAMEL tracks and the best tracks in the same time (and these are two different things...just check the majority of compilations by other "big" names...most of them are overplayed, if nothing else). This is not only an excellent introduction to the world of CAMEL, it's also an excellent introduction for a newbie into the world of progressive rock music. ------------- |

| Good selection, Clarke. In those years there were no dispossable the rights of the first album (published ty MCA), so many compilations doesnīt includes that essential tracks -except maybe some alive version of NLG . Itīs incomplete, but Iīm agree with your point, itīs a good introduction -to the greatest music ever composed! |

Good idea. It would take a lot of work. But I have the tracks , I only need to create a good song order.
So out of all their albums I'll include
1 from Camel 4:47 min
3 from Mirage 15:59 min
6 from Snow Goose 14:46 min
1 from Moonmadness 5:02 min
1 from Rain Dances 4:29 min
1 from Breathless 7:20 min
1 from Nude 2:39 min
1 from The Single factor 3:34 min
Total Time: 64:29 min

| Yeah, "Ice" isnīt in my personal list neither! :D Ja. Itīs an OK track, but not represets the best that Camel can offer in terms of sensibility and/or complexity. Itīs a bit redundant and the motive, simple at best, a bit too much "recreated". The duration screw up the emotion that attempts express, too. |

| I am no expert on Camel, but I've been revisiting "Moonmadness" recently and really dig it. Espeically "Song Withing A Song". Is there any connection between Camel and Sopwith Camel? Is that a dumb question? |
Posted By: The Doctor
Date Posted: February 15 2013 at 14:27
^There are no dumb questions, only dumb people.  Just kidding, actually at one time I wondered the same thing, but no, there is no connection. Let's see. I'll still have to work out the running order and make sure I fit the time constraints once I get home, but: Rhayader Rhayader Goes to Town Arubaluba Ice Song Within a Song Lunar Sea Rajaz Hour Candle Nimrodel/White Rider Lady Fantasy

I don't really like anything they did after Breathless, so at least I have less albums to choose from!
This is 3 seconds over the 65 minutes! Am I allowed to get away with that? If not, just replace the live version of Lady Fantasy with the Mirage version, which will chop off a minute and a half.....
1. Never Let Go (A Live Record) 7.21
2. Song Within A Song (A Live Record) 7.01
3. Rhayader 3.01
4. Rhayader Goes To Town 5.20
5.Lunar Sea (A Live Record) 8.56
6. Rain Dances 2.59
7. Highways Of The Sun 4.32
8. Breathless 4.16
9. Echoes 7.22
10. Lady Fantasy (A Live Record) 14.15

Sometimes I'll do this when I'm bored, just putting together an 80 or 160 minute album of my favorite songs by a single band. Fun stuff. As for Camel, I don't know enough of their music yet.
