2019 press on black vinyl with gatefold cover

Abandoning the lovely soundscapes of Snow Goose, Camel delvedinto layered guitar and synthesizers similar to those of PinkFloyd’s Wish You Were Here on the impressive Moonmadness. Part ofthe reason behind the shift in musical direction was the label’sinsistence that Camel venture into more commercial territory afterthe experimental Snow Goose, and it is true that the music onMoonmadness is more akin to traditional English progressive rock,even though it does occasionally dip into jazz-fusion territorywith syncopated rhythms and shimmering keyboards. Furthermore, thesongs are a little more concise and accessible than those of itspredecessor. That doesn’t mean Camel has abandoned art. Moonmadnessis indeed a concept album, based loosely on the personalities ofeach member — Chord Change is Peter Bardens, Air Born is AndyLatimer, Lunar Sea is Andy Ward and Another Night is Doug Ferguson.Certainly, it’s a concept that is considerably less defined thanthat of Snow Goose, and the music isn’t quite as challenging, yetthat doesn’t mean that Moonmadness is devoid of pleasure. In fact,with its long stretches of atmospheric instrumentals and spacysolos, it’s quite rewarding.
