Camel - Nod and Wink - Impressive Album

since we're talking about their whole catalog I'll add 2 cents more . . . I have all of their studio albums starting with the first. Everything from the first up thru "Raindances" are fantastic, then Dust and Dreams, Harbour of Tears, Rajaz, and Nod and a Wink are equal to them though not in the classic sense of the first ones.Those in between are a little spotty, though all worth having. Many, many great guitar solo's - check out "Ice" off of "I Can See Your House From Here". It's 10 minutes long, mezmerizing, and the cd is worth the proce just for that single track.

I have most all of the Camel stuff including the DVDs. They are a great band. I went to see them in Atl. a couple of years ago but the show was cancelled due to illness. A Nod and a Wink is quite good as well as Rajaz. Rajaz is also an audiophile recording. And the live version of Ice on the Coming of Age DVD is wonderful.

Glad to hear from some Camel fans! Unfortunately I have not been paying attention since "I can see your house from here" (25 yrs, has it been that long?) I will have to check out their new one. My favorites have always been: all the music on Snowgoose, all the music on Moonmadness, "First Light" on Raindances.
To enjoy camel properly on LP you MUST get the British pressings.. the ORIGINAL U.S. pressings on Janus label are also o.k... the Passport label U.S. are terrible!!!
The British pressing of Snowgoose is the only one that has the correct treble response.. the U.S. is too sibilant (sp?)
Just some advice.. you'll have to look hard and long on ebay to get MINT british pressings and pay a good $40. or so.. maybe.
Also how about that sort-of rare "A live Album" Snowgoose sounds better here than studio!

Xiekitchen, try nod and wink, you'll enjoy it, lots of nice instrumental work. I enjoy it more and more the more I listen to it. Unfortunately I dont have a turntable, my system is cd-based, yet I enjoyed those albums very much. Who knows one day they might reissue these albums on SACD, I will simply buy them all.

I just picked up snowgoose remastered and ya you just can't get me out of the seventies some days , it is a great remaseter. Also as far as favorites, one of mine is Breathless first thing on a sunday morning...........CRANKED
