4.0 out of 5 stars
Out-of-date theme but still a great album,
This review is from: Stationary Traveller (Audio CD)
I've been a long-time fan of Camel, but this album has consistently been one of my favourites. The theme of a Berlin divided by the wall, and of dreams of escape, may now be slightly dated - but the music isn't. Andy's guitar is (as ever) quite wonderful. 'West Berlin' has one of those hooks that singers would happily die for (or - if you're a Peter Gabriel fan, you'll know what I mean when I say you'd cheerfully sell your granny). 'Vopos' has real darkness and menace whilst the opening intrumental on the CD is a mixture of both threat and promise. (This solo was much-extended in a subsequent live recording). One or two of the later tracks lack the power of those at the start but this is still a really good album and well worth a listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Another Camel masterpiece,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stationary Traveller (Audio CD)
For many years we thought this intelligent, meloddic, atmospheric and unpretentious concept album (there aren't many) would be Camel's final work. Thankfully, the band returned in the 1990s, and is better than ever.There are some many magnificent moments on this CD: the eerie instrumental intro, brilliant songs like "West Berlin", "Vopos" and "Fingertips", the astounding title track, one of the greatest ever rock instrumental, we could go on. I hated the mid-80s as my favourite progressive groups had split, lost it or gone commercial. Camel managed to produce a magnificent, modern album that was not a throwback to the 70s. Brilliant.

Worth buying even if just for one track,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stationary Traveller (Audio CD)
Certain aspects sound dated, (reference to former DDR reference) but that's easy to say so many years after the fall of the Berlin Wall and Germany's Reuinification. Some weaker tracks, but this is one of the genre's hidden masterpieces, even if Andy Latimers instrumentals are always best live (check our pressure points DVD which I still remember being transmitted on Channel Four back in 84 - and caught me there and then). Stationary Traveller is simply divine, there is no other way of putting it even though the studio cut from a guitaris't point of view is less than flawless - again live is best. Heavy Les Paul with a sound which is simply unique - so thick yet so powerful There are very few who can make a guitar literally cry, and Latimer executes this so beautifully he makes it sound almost common place (thank good ness it isn't).
