about

It has been a quiet year for camel-spotters, but the wait has been worth it. Camel are back with a bang－or, to be more exact, with a new album called "Rain Dances", a new line-up featuring Richard Sinclair on bass and vocals, and their first British tour for eighteen months. "Rain Dances", released on August 26th, is a stunner. It had to be, really. After the resounding chart success of their two previous albums, "Snow Goose" and "Moonmadness", and after being voted Brightest Hope in the Melody Maker Readers Poll, Camel had quite a reputation to keep up. The album is the product of seven months studio work, and Camel are delighted with the result. Says keyboard-man Peter Bardens: "We've branched out into different directions, ranging from jazz to clas-sical, yet "Rain Dances" is more accessible than any of its predecessors. It's a very optimistic album, compared with a lot of material around at the moment. Were really excited about it. We think it's the best thing we've done." Richard Sinclair's vocals, familiar to followers of Caravan and Hatfield & the North, adds a touch of magic. "His voice totally enhances Camel's music," says Peter Bardens. "Richard has fitted in perfectly." The Camel sound is further enriched by the saxophone of Mel Collins [who also did the brass arrangements] and even the redoubtable Eno turns up on one of the tracks.

With Memories of their concert with the London Symphony Orchestra at the Albert Hall still lingering, connoisseurs will soon get a taste of the new-style Camel. Their 14-date U.K. tour kicks off in Manchester on September 23rd. With the added talents of Sinclair and Collins, and specially tailored light-show, it promises 14 nights to remember.....

artwork included - this is the first artwork I created myself. Hope you like it...

A recording from the Rain Dances tour. I'd rate the sound quality as B to B+. Unfortunately, I did not get any information about the lineage from the trader.

This is a "recording of indeterminate origin," i.e. a bootleg. If you buy it from me it'll be the first time anyone in the band has seen a quid from it.

Thanks to Joerg (Propylaen2001) for the tapes

about

Richard Sinclair Martina Franca, Italy

The leading voice of the Canterbury Scene. Beginning with the Wilde Flowers, on to Caravan, Hatfield & the North, Camel and all his recent group efforts, Richard Sinclair's singing and bass playing have been a constant source of delight for lovers of Canterbury music. A deep, low voice, a talent for memorable melodies few can match, plus an imaginative and fluid technique on the bass and guitar. ... more

Holdsworth is up there with McLauglin in the jazzrock-fusion pantheon. And like McLaughlin he seems to have had an open mind for eastern spiritual music. This is quite beautiful. Check it out. Robert Bloemkolk
