Great Camel prog-rock album that has to be heard!

"Mirage" is a great Camel album that has to be heard; it's a classic prog-rock album that is one
of the group's most remembered albums! Enjoy this album with a fine (U.S. pressing) soundquality.

Review:

"Mirage" pretty much perfected the style of the debut-album with a richer, more varied sound and overall stronger material.
Latimer had now also found his flute, and delivered one of Camel's best flute-based pieces in "Supertwister". The track also
showed that Bardens used el-piano in a far more intelligent and tasty way than most others who used that instrument.
But the centrepiece and highlight of the album was still the 12-minute "Lady Fantasy Suite". A masterful song with lots of breaks,
strong riffs and melodies and a very impressive and powerful performance from the whole band.

The album also featured another suite in form of the 9-minute "Nimrodel" with lyrics inspired by Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings".
"Earthrise" was possibly the hardest rocking and most energetic instrumental-number they ever did, and featured some of Bardens
best playing ever. The opener "Freefall" was also some kind of a hard rocker, but this one had also the same jazzy sound as "Earthrise",
giving it some kind of sophistication. "Mirage" is a great album, and undoubtedly one of Camel's best.
