about

Camel's fifth album, and the first one on which I appear, is still on the market so I cannot offer it here. It's a wonderful album though, with such classic Camel songs as "First Light," "Metrognome," "Highways of the Sun," "Unevensong" and "Elke" (featuring Brian Eno). If you don't have it, you have a hole in your collection the size of a city bus.

So what we have here instead is a short phone interview where Richard talks about joining Camel, and the internal dynamics of the band. This interview is courtesy of Joe Smith Music Stuff. Thanks Joe!

A deep, low voice, a talent for memorable melodies few can match, plus an imaginative and fluid technique on the bass and guitar. ... more
