This album deserves to have the name of the band. It is really very "taking you high" kind of an album and you hope this album to last hours when you listen to it.

A Classic Debut
27 Aug 2002
Format:Audio CD
Camel's first record is a masterpiece of melodic progressive rock. Like the self titled Kansas debut, Camel's first production is very powerful indeed. Whereas many progressive bands have shaped their sound and identity with their second or third record, (like Eloy and Pink Floyd), Camel had their progressive sound polished from the start.
This album is simply very beautiful, and tracks like Never Let go, a must in all Camel's live shows to this day, are very melodic, complex, meditative, with great guitar and keyboard jamming from Andy Latimer and the late Pete Bardens.
However, save from Never Let Go, it is the least known of Camel's records, and their most underrated. For those fans, who love Camel in their symphonic revival post Dust and Dreams, should check this record. Although it has psychedelic influences and is similar in sound to Mirage, and not as atmospheric as Dust and Dreams and Rajaz, it is nevertheless very original and a clear indication of how talented and original Camel are.
This is a must buy for all progressive rock fans and music lovers,to enjoy for years to come.

Probably the best piece I've ever heard!!!
1 Jan 2002
Format:Audio CD
For any fans of the progressive psychedelic music from the 70s this is probably THE reference album!I mean I knew Camel had real nice music but this is in my opinion the best album I've ever heard.Tracks like "never let go", "curiosity" and "Six Ate" are probably the best, not that the others are inferior of course!EVERY time i listen to the album I figure that this is the sort of music the human ear was meant to listen to!Thank you Camel!

Unbelievably great
23 Jun 2003
Format:Audio CD
This first Camel album contains Camel's best. Well, Mirage is superb as well, but this and Mirage together are the pinnacle for this little known (at least in the US) group that I highly recommend to all.
Camel is unusual upon first listening. Some of its beats and rhymns are syncopated in a way that does not appeal upon your first exposure to the group. I simply didn't like Camel when I first heard it. It grew on me in a short time however, and has become of my top 10 albums of all time. Great keyboards, flutes (a Camel signature), and good rock that is powerful, emotional, and yet dreamy on occasion -- all of this puts it into a space rock category along with Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons, and Ambrosia for me.
