Camel has been called the unsung heroes of seventies progressive rock, and for good reason. This English band has been together, except for a brief hiatus in the 80’s, since 1971, although now with only one original member. They have always had a very loyal following, and have been able to survive as a worldwide touring act despite having never become a big commercial success. Unlike Yes or King Crimson or the other prog acts of the seventies, this band never had a hit like “Roundabout” or “21st Century Schizoid Man”, and they never had an album that burned up the charts. But as they show on their second album, Mirage, these guys can play. There’s a lot of jazzier influences at play here, with sparse vocals and even some flute played by guitarist Andrew Latimer.
Progressive rock from this era tended to be overblown and in your face artsy, but Camel manages to keep that to a minimum here. Sure, there are a pair of longer tracks (“The White Rider” and “Lady Fantasy”, each with three separate “movements”), and there is a lot what makes prog so tedious (or great, depending on your tastes). And yes, one of the longer tracks is based on The Lord Of The Rings. But ultimately, Mirage is a well played and very well constructed album, and despite its lack of commercial success, it’s one of the finest 70’s prog records…which is saying a lot. The four bonus tracks add about a half an hour to the original album, which makes sitting through the 2002 remaster a bit more laborious than it should be. But check out Mirage…it’s a forgotten gem from the 70’s. [First added to this chart: 02/15/2025]

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
