What can i say? Unique!.......2006-08-30

There is no other album like 'Rain Dances'. Not even Camel could come up with an equal (even though i feel they tried with 'I can see your house' and 'Nude'). Excellent melodic prog from (believe it or not) the Punk era!

Should I get this one?.......2006-07-08

If you are a Camel fan, then you should get this one.
Don't get me wrong. I love Camel, so I really like this album; however, if you just start going with this band, you should go with "Camel", "Mirage", and "The Snow Goose" first.
Anyway, a great album, but not as good as the other three.

Mott Dances.......2005-10-11

Camel over the course of their history came to define progressive melodic rock . Starting out of a band called 'The Brew' who were more of a straight forward rock trio, upon the addition of Peter Bardens on Keyboards the trio from 'Brew' Andy Latimer, guitars ,and flute, Doug Ferguson, bass and vocals, and Andy Ward ,drums ,became the mighty beast that is 'Camel' with their first gig as support to 'Wishbone Ash' in 1971.
But it was not until 1973 that there first self titled album was released , and although attracting a little critical attention ,did little else , listening to it now it is hardly surprising as it is a little twee. The second album got them all the publicity they wanted, but mostly not for musical reasons. Mirage ( 1974) came in an album cover replicating a packet of Camel cigarettes, which got them sued by Camel cigarettes in America , and their then turned the tables and got an endorsement from Camel cigarettes Europe , giving away free packets of five Camels to all the audience members at all their European gigs of that tour , so they ended up with enormous hassles in the States and had to change their album covers, and in Europe were hated by the Anti-smoking league for ever. Because of this their next album the all instrumental album based on Paul Gallico's Snow Goose, had to be called 'Music inspired by the Snow Goose' due to the authors abhorrence to all things nicotine. Never the less Snow Goose was Camel's breakthrough album opening up the world market to the band . Due to the record companies ( Decca) horror at having put out an all instrumental album last time the bands next effort was a bit of a compromise between band and record executives with all the songs having actual words, chorus's and verses ' Moonmadness'(1975).
By now the sound of the Camel had moved far away from the rock'n'roll roots of 'The Brew', and after the tour too promote ' Moonmadness' Doug Ferguson decided to hang up his camel saddle and move on. Famed session saxophonist Mel Collins had toured with the band on the last tour , and was now keen to carry on his association with the band and was to be an unofficial member of the band for all further albums and tours for the next decade. But a new bass player and vocalist had to be found. Top of the list was original founding member of both ' Caravan ' and 'Hatfield and The North' Richard Sinclair,who just happened to be arriving back from his holidays that had helped him recuperate after the termination of his last band ' Hatfield and The North' . One telephone call was all it took and Richard Sinclair packed up his bags in Canterbury and joined the dromedary cause.This gave Camel so much more artillery under it's hump. Richard Sinclair was blessed with very distinctive vocal chords , far superior to anything the band had in their armoury before , Mel Collins being full time available to the band meant much more space to stretch out in the long instrumental sections of the Camel material ( Does that make Camelhair?) . Whilst Andy Ward on the drums was much more comfortable with Richard Sinclair's more jazzy bass style than the straight ahead rock style of the previous incumbent .
The new album ' Raindances ' ( 1977) was waited for with great anticipation by the massed ranks of Camel fans. They were not disappointed ,the album opens up with a bright instrumental titled 'First Light' which would of been far more aptly titled ' Introducing Mel and Richard' the first three minutes of the song are taken up by some pretty impressive musical jousting between, the keyboard work of Peter Bardens , and Andy Latimer's guitar, as they quieten down it is left to the nifty bass work of Richard Sinclair to take the next section of the song onwards before handing over to Mel Collins who brings this musical section to a rousing conclusion with a rasping saxophone solo . A very satisfying beginning.
After this the album is split into two halves the next four songs having vocals , whilst the remaining four are instrumentals . ( This copy has got the single version of 'Highways of the Sun ' tagged onto the end , completely unnecessary as it is only the original version with a thirty second section chopped out of the middle.) ' Metrgnome' is a good Camel song where you feel that the new band are getting acquainted ,'Tell Me ' is an emotional ballad written by Latimer and Bardens ,but giving full reign to the voice and bass work of Richard Sinclair.On ' Highway Of The Sun' Camel almost get carried away with themselves , with its driving marching keyboard driven beat , and chirpy vocals , why this was not a hit single at the time is beyond me . "Unevensong' follows in equally upbeat mood, showing why Camel were such a class act crammed into its five minutes thirty three seconds are well sung verses, crystal clear solo's from each member of the band , giving you a complete saga in its allotted time .
The instrumentals are all extremely well executed each with it's own distinctive flavour .The wonderfully titled ' One Of These Days I'll Get An Early Night' the only title credited to every member of the band is a vicious slab of fusion jazz/rock , with each soloist elbowing his way to the front of the instrumental stage to have his share of the limelight , grabbing on literally with two hands , and giving their instruments a real shake .
'Elke' is a slowly burning piece written by Andy Latimer reminding you of his Scottish heritage , and featuring Andy's haunting flute work, underpinned by some sympathetic keyboards from Peter Bardens . ' Skylines shakes you out of your reverie with it's funky beat,and jaunty attitude , Richard Sinclair's bass work again excels. The album closes with the title track which lulls you along to its conclusion on a very comfortable cushion of sound.
Camel found themselves with another huge hit on their hands and soon set out on another world tour to promote the album , recording a lot of the concerts along the way for their next album a double live vinyl affair , wittily titled 'A Live Record'. Which has recently been re-released with lots of bonus material on it bringing the total playing time up to over two and a half hours.
The success of these albums by Camel is all the more remarkable by the fact that these songs of grace and dignity were released whilst punk rock was sweeping all before them . Most bands of Camel's ilk were never stood a chance and were blown away, but the Camel is a sturdy animal, and made great commercial progress , filling concert halls and selling albums wherever it went.
Unfortunately 1976, 1977, and 1978, were to be the Camels finest years , disaster was only just around the corner, but for now sit back and enjoy the beast at it's best.
Mott The Dog.

Overall, better than Moon Madness, but no monster track.......2004-11-28

This is Camel's fifth album. Originally, it was 41 minutes long, but with the bonus track, it is now 45 minutes.

This album is good throughout. It doesn't have any weak tracks. Overall, I think it is a better album than the previous Moon Madness. The only thing is that this album does not have a monster track, like Lunar Sea from Moon Madness, or Lady Fantasy from Mirage or Never Let Go from the first album.

This is the first album to include Richard Sinclair on bass and vocals. Sinclair was in Caravan, Hatfield and the North and other groups. He has a very distinctive voice and style of playing bass. Fortunately, he does not have much impact on Camel's sound on this album. On the next album, Breathless, he has a much greater presence and that album suffers. It is not that I don't like Sinclair. I really enjoy much of his stuff. But, at times he can be overbearing and his attempts at whimsey can fall flat.

wonderful album.......2003-07-22

One of my favorite albums-Metrognome and "one of these days-" are a little weak,but the rest is fine. Unevensong one of those great experiments of time signature and key changes that are deviant, and work to great effect-what prog is suppose to be about. Elke is incredible-pure expression of a young mans afterglow. Skylines is aptly named, "Tell me" a beautiful love song-pillow talk. And the album cover is the best ever!

Relaxing guitar.......2007-05-07

I bought this CD especially for "Farewell to Stromness," a piece written by knighted Peter Maxwell Davies, transcribed for guitar by Timothy Walker, and performed by David Russell. The piece is of a Scottish folktune, and written as part of a successful grass-roots resistence to the potential destruction of the picturesque town of Stromness in the Orkney islands in Scotland. The resistence movement was titled "The Yellow Cake Review"--the yellow cake was a reference to a uranium open-pit mining that was planned next to the town. The rest of the CD is a wonderful collection of 20 pieces played by Russell, the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet, Pepe (?or Angel)Romero, and others, covering Bach. Sting (!) and others, and ending with Stanley Myers "Cavatina," the now well-known background music for the "Deerhunter."

Music At Its Best.......2000-06-25

If you like beautiful, lyrical melodies and also enjoy lighthearted fun, I suggest that you order the Spirits of the Wind CD. The compositions of Alexander Peskanov are exquisite jewels, ones that you can listen to over and over. Mr. Peskanov's expressive performance and technical expertise create a magical experience for the listener. I have bought a Spirits of the Wind CD for each of my very best friends from Amsterdam to Los Angeles. I advise that you to do the same.

Alexander Peskanov is without equal.......1999-04-27

I have more than listened to this CD. I have virtually memorized it. These are Peskanov's own compositions. In fact, the sheet music for most of them is available on his web site. From the simplest to the most complex, Peskanov consistently puts his entire heart and soul, as well as his incredible technical expertise, into his music. I have seen videos of him playing a number of these recordings, and he quite apparently has a wonderful time at the piano. So much so that you can't help but have a great time along with him.

This is a CD worth owning.

A Magnificent Collection!.......2000-08-03

The performances by Herbert von Karajan never cease to enthrall me. This tremendous collection of various composers and the adagios selected therein result in a never-ending source of delight at every playing. If I had this in vinyl form, it would be worn out by now. I am of the opinion that Herbert von Karajan raised the level of BPO to superlative degree. The performance of Martin Schwabbe speaks volumes of his prowess. The DG label enhances the quality, as always. I have no hesitation in recommending this CD to seasoned and fresh enthusiasts of classical music.

The Armenian Philharmonic is just the orchestra for this kind of thing. Hardly a world-class organization, what they lack in polish they more than make up for in sheer color and enthusiasm. There's a tendency in today's orchestras to play everything with the same, highly finished gloss. This is simply a function of their high level of proficiency. And while there's nothing at all wrong with technical perfection, the fact is that this music usually doesn't arouse the kind of dedication you notice when a musician really feels proud of having conquered a tricky piece of writing. Well, you do get that sense of pride with the Armenians, and it's probably as close as we can come to what the music sounded like in the composer's own time. --David Hurwitz

Superb.......2006-11-14

Carlos Salzedo's music is difficult, no VERY difficult (and I'm a harpist, so I know these things!) and the Salzedo Harp Duo play them as effortlessly as water falling off a leaf. Inspired musicality and daredevil tempos make this a "must have" and even if you're not a harpist, it's absolutely lovely music. And "Rhumba" will have you dancing!

Delightful music for harp duo..........2005-03-08

This is an irresistible collection of beautiful melodies arranged (or composed) for harp duo. Nancy Lendrum & Jody Guinn are masters of their instruments, and lend an energy and flourish to this delightful assortment of music by Carlos Salzedo and other assorted classical composers. The arrangements are crisp and the playing is brilliant! There isn't a dull moment or 'lackluster' piece on this cd. This music would be ideal accompaniment to any activity from a "dinner party for 8" to a Sunday afternoon relaxing with a good book...highly recommended!!
