What about their newest material? I heard it sucks.

Mirage rules! Breathless is OK, but definately my least favorite. However, I still need to get Stationary Traveller and Rajaz to complete my collection. A Nod a Wink, the newest, is one of my favorites, too. It sounds a lot like early Camel. I was impressed! Harbour of Tears is pretty good.

Spirit Of the Water is on Moonmadness, so get Moonmadness! Mirage, the debut and Snow Goose are just as good. from the newer stuff, try Rajaz, but stay away from the latest one, A Nod And A Wink, as it contains massive amounts of cheese.

The first four or five albums are essentials. I think all their albums are pretty decent though.

 

[keeper of the flame]

Best albums are: The Snowgoose (even if this is a complete instrumental album), Nude (essential), Moonmadness (jazzrock influences). Also good are Harbour of tears, (lots of Irish influences), Rajaz (1999). Rajaz may apear to be a very dull album, but after a couple of listens you will like it a lot.

I agree with this man.

Camel - Camel: More traditional, jazz influenced rock.
Camel - Mirage: Longer, more Progessive tracks.
Camel - Snow Goose: Basically Mirage style with no vocals.
Camel - Moonmadness: The most progessive album.

This is a very simple explanation, and I suggest just getting these albums and enjoying them yourself.

Moonmadness = #1
with Mirage a close second.
