Camel- Moonmadness

[in limbow]

I never really gave this album a chance until last night, used to own a copy but ended up selling it, the other day I dl'ed it and gave it a listen... wow, I understand why Mikael likes them so much.
Latimer is such a fantastic fucking guitarist, also. The solo in Lunar Sea = amazing

 

[Demilich]

congratulations, you're almost as slow as me

Thanks?

Moonmadness is indeed a fucking genius album, and Camel are a genius band.

I still think Music Inspired By The Snow Goose is their best release though.. I remember i got it ages ago.. Liked it loads.. But fell in love with it when playing it to Tony Hawks on the xbox. It just seeped into my mind and has stayed there ever since.

same thing happened to me with pt's lightbulb sun tbh.^^

 

[Lothlorien]

very weird that u posted this. i got into camel 3 years ago then suddenly never listened to them again. then just a month ago i purchased mirage and cant get enough of them!

 

[Alteredmindeath]

I like Mirage better, but Moonmadness closely follows with 2nd place.

 

[Graft]

well song within is fucking amazing

Yeah, Mikael totally copped that line about "the piper plays his tune" lol
though I suppose Camel could've copped it from Led Zeppelin in Stairway, kind of... who copped it from some other group hah

lightbulb sun is generally understood as one of the weaker PT albums.

moonmadness is probably the best camel album imo

 

[old spice]

moonmadness and mirage are tied imo

 

[all_sins_undone]

everything by them decimates tho lbh

 

[old spice]

erk dust and dreams ugh

 

[BloodSword]

Criminally underrated band. Andrew Latimer's guitar tone is probably the most beautiful I've heard in any genre. The whole band were/are awesome musicians. Although "Snowgoose" is more heralded, I'd go with "Mirage" and then "Moonmadness."

whoa whoa, what? I wouldnt consider lightbulb sun weak at all. I have more reason to go back to that album than deadwing and fear of a blank planet.

As far as camel goes, i'd go snowgoose and moonmadness tied, then mirage.

 

[Arasmas]

s/t and mirage are clearly the best camel albums

shesmovedon fuckin decimates almost everything Wilson has ever done.

Not bad, just different. I think Deadwing is a fairly decent prog rock album, i mean Arriving is a really awesome song

 

[all_sins_undone]

yeah arriving is good, not to much else though
