Well, you're the first listener to suggest 'Camel' for the 'Marathon Treatment' - I will have to check what is on file to see how much of a marathon could be run ... Anybody else fancy this ... ??

Reply #3 - 18^th Mar, 2005 at 6:25pm The only Camel album I have is 'Nude' which is very good indeed, so it would be nice to hear some more. Excellent guitarist I seem to recall. Is it Andy Latimer? Is there enough back catalogue for a whole session though?

Thanks for the replly Silver! I Count 24 - Including Live Albums (from 1971 (?) to Present)
Check out their official site for more info.
http://www.camelproductions.com/
The 70's material is excellent; The 80's mostly good showing moments of brilliance - a mixed bag! After that I haven't listened to much - Never Let Go (live) from 1993 is top notch. Best for me would be 'Moonmadness', 'the Snow Goose', 'Mirage', 'Raindances' and about 1/2 of each of 'I Can See My House From Here', 'Breathless' and 'Stationary Traveller'.

Andy Latimer indeed IS INCREDIBLE on Guitar and Flutes, the Late and Great Peter Bardens on Keys, Andy Ward and Doug Fergeson on Drums & Bass respectively - with comings and goings of several great prog musicians (Colin Bass, Richard & Dave Sinclair, Eno, Mel Collins, Jan Schelhaas, Kit Watkins, etc..)

So...everything you wanted to know but didn't ask Grin

!

take care

Sorry - I didn't mean to be so heavy-handed with that last post (I get carried away easily...that, and I really like Camel) Perhaps what would be better is if some different Camel could be played - let the music do the talking. Have you got Moonmadness? Lunar Sea would be lovely to hear (esp. the remastered one-which I don't have)

thanks

On reflection I thought I sounded like a bit of a know-it-all...with me sometimes less is more (ask my wife). -btn

Reply #8 - 24^th Mar, 2005 at 4:02am This is 'Progressive Rock' we're speaking of here after all btn - you can never provide too much information or be a 'know-it-all' for that matter. The more information the better !!

Reply #10 - 31^st Mar, 2005 at 3:49am I have only a little exposure to Camel but everything I have heard has been enjoyable I think I would say the same for Gentle Giant or Spocks Beard I'd love to hear more of them but I doubt that it would create an intense interest like Yes Genesis Floyd or something like that
