Title: Camel's Best Independent Album
Review: This is Camel's best studio album since they went independent in 1991. While this album contains some classic Camel sound, there are also some pleasant surprises. As always, there is a lot of great guitar playing by Andy Latimer. In addition, Andy plays more flute than usual on this album. In places, the flute playing is reminiscent of Ian Anderson. The album also features Guy LeBlanc's fine keyboards. Five of the seven songs are more than 7 minutes long, with the title track clocking in at more than 11 minutes. This album is not as melancholy as Camel's other recent albums. In particular, "Fox Hill" is very upbeat. If you like melodic symphonic rock, you will like this album.
