Camel - Nod and Wink - Impressive Album

Camel, my No.1 favourite Progressive rock group. This album was their last release, 2002. I just had the chance to listen to it today.

I am very impressed, a true piece of art, I never thought camel would be able to produce the same old magic like their previous albums as Mirage or snowgoose, they are even better now. Well done camel. I am glad that i bought this CD, it was my mistake not to have bought it in 2002 when it was just released, I missed 3 years of joy.... To all progressive rock fans, go and buy this CD, you won't be disappointed.

could this be the same band I saw open for Wishbone Ash in the early-mid 70's? Yikes!

I agree - it's one of their best. It's one of the most played in my collection. I saw them live during the promo tour. "Rajaz" is the release just prior to Nod and a Wink and it's also fantastic. I'm hoping they'll put out another new CD shortly (though their web site doesn't give any indication of imminent release).

Yes, I have all of their early stuff, great stuff indeed. I also have the Camel - Pressure points live (DVD), which was produced in 1984, it is 2-channel stereo only, the picture quality is moderate, but the performance is simply stunning !, this is camel in its full glory, Andy lattimer guitar playing is unbelievable, listen to the song "Pressure Points", it has one of the best guitar solos I have ever heared, remindes me of steve hacket in selling england by the pound !
