Camel: Lunar Sea

Another masterpiece, this one from their Moonmadness album. This is also from the Moonmadness tour in 1976-77, including the four original band members Andy Latimer, Doug Ferguson, Andy Ward, and the late Peter Bardens which influence never will be forgotten, and deserves more acknowledgement and respect.

Again sorry for the poor quality.

OK guys, to be honest , Camel is one of the greatest prog groups ever, they never received the recognition they truly deserve, but they are real musicians, they made these all masterpieces, just because they love music as we do , and they lived in a decade when musicians were really free to succeed in being artists. and u all know what this mean....

Let's be honest...the first 4 Camel albums were amazing because of the same 4 musicians that are in this video. After the Moonmadness album the sound changed as did the music, not saying it was better or worse, just not the same. I have every Camel album and I love them all (for the most part), but nothing comes close to the prog rock created by these 4 gentlemen in this video.

tripping music just as good a pink floyd, gong (angels egg) have always gotten lost in this song, have drawn some interesting things while on the luna sea

@erikbroek Only if you assume that mainstream music is all that's being created. There's plenty of great music coming out these days that's as good or better than the greats of the 70's.

@homeworldmusic shut up and enjoy :camelface:

My brother turned me on to Camel in the late 70;s; Lady Fantasy, song within a song, Never Let go...Changed my outlook on music forever...Beats the crap you hear today.

@homeworldmusic man,you must be a fool telling me something like that:''you need to listen to more music'' cause i know music ten times better than you.you got to know me better to say things like that and i m just saying that camel beat any other prog rock band because of its band members' experience and all that stuff.im not being aggressive towards you,im just advising u.

Funny: "I Can't Remember" by Bardens still sticks in my head, decades later. This Camel stuff does not grab me at all. Compare: almost any early Yes.  almost any early Genesis. "Starless" and the entire first LP by King Crimson. Pawn Hearts by Van Der Graaf Generator. Those are what we call "melodies" and "hooks" This? 2-chord jam.

@thekillingjimmy I would call it noodling. Nothing as melodic as Yes, Genesis or King Crimson. Pleasant jams. You need to listen to more music.
