High humps - Best Camel albums

The list author says:
	"This is almost perfect. Utterly beautiful instrumental music. Heartfelt, seamless, soaring craftsmanship of the highest order. Latimer is a incredible guitarist, the whole band tight and focused."

The list author says:
	"Camel at their most raw, rocking and powerful best , but tempered as always with deft serenity in the quieter passages. Inventive drumming, textured keyboards and solid bass. Vocals not bad either."

The list author says:
	"Latimer lets rip with both guitar barrels on Lunar Sea, and you can almost feel the Eureka! moment as he realises just how good he is. Air Born is gorgeous, Another Night dark and almost commercial."

The list author says:
	"Let down by a pedestrian rhythm section and sparse production, this is good, rather than great. But the poignant story and music mess well, there are great melodies and a very distinctive atmosphere."

The list author says:
	"The first album and sounding a little awkward in places, but the talent is evident and the music excellent."

The list author says:
	"A little too jazzy, and sometimes silly in places, but tracks like Echoes more than make up for it. Latimer’s talent is in full cruise mode now – though this slick album does not showcase it enough"

The list author says:
	"In the top 10 for one reason alone - ICE is the most magnificent piece of electric guitar ever. Almost painfully emotive, soaring, serene, it’s a biblical epic compared to the other soulless tracks."

The list author says:
	"Beautiful in its simplicity, even the vocals are good for Camel. The tone and execution of Latimer's guitar is mature and enviable. A refreshing return to form, and once again with a distinct atmosphe"

The list author says:
	"Camel ventured too far into jazz territory with this one and the result is flaccid with only a few driving moments. Too many session musicians means too little character."

The list author says:
	"Again suffers from too many session musicians. Everything except the guitar plods: the drums sound like cardboard, session vocals are insipid, keyboards too clever and boring. Good concept though."
