  | CAMEL ~ THE SNOW GOOSE (DELUXE EDITION)
DECCA 5314614 (Barcode: 600753146149) ~ UK ~ Progressive Rock
Recorded: 1975 Released: 2009
One of the most impressive Prog concept albums of all times, CamelFind albums by this artist´s 3rd album remains a beacon shading its light up to this very day upon the desolated shores of today´s music. Brilliantly composed, orchestrated and performed, this subtle music symbolizes everything that was the great musical eruption, which happened in the early 1970s. Completely disregarding any commercial influences, the band and mainly the two members, who composed this magnificent music, keyboardist Peter BardensFind albums by this artist and guitarist Andy LatimerFind albums by this artist showed that music has no boundaries and ambition and talent are rewarded in the long run. Bassist Doug FergusonFind albums by this artist and drummer Andy WardFind albums by this artist support the two soloists with taste and passion and the entire piece immediately achieved the status of a timeless classic. As with all works of substance, in retrospect the music still sounds uplifting and inspiring 34 years later with no trace of getting outdated. This new edition adds bonus material and a whole second CD with live recordings done for the BBC, an endless source of historic material. Simply outstanding and an essential piece of music history!

  | CAMEL ~ THE SNOW GOOSE (EXPANDED EDITION)
DECCA 882930 (Barcode: 042288293026) ~ UK ~ Progressive Rock
Recorded: 1975 Released: 2002
3rd album, which brought CamelFind albums by this artist to the attention of a much wider audiences, as this beautiful music was very well received by listeners far beyond the "strict" Prog cycles. The group plays exquisitly well and the dreamy melodies of this instrumental album are simply heartworming. The orchestral arrangements are also very well done and are an excellent example of inter-genre cooperation.
