Mila Sparrow has compared writing for Camel’s new album to that on ‘Moonmadness’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Camel had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. Camel was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Camel and Moonmadness together. Such great and happy songs.
I listened to the opening track Song Within A Song and liked it a lot. I loved Chord Change the first time I heard it. I now have Spirit Of The Water as one of my personal favorites. Another Night is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after Moonmadness have ended. Camel has created something that grabs you by the heart and gets you moving. Some of the arrangements found on Moonmadness are surprisingly edgy. This track makes my mind whirl and vibrate with flowing energy. After about the third Spirit Of The Water [Demo - Bonus] listen through, I began to believe this song is Camel’s essence. It’s also one of those rare songs that touchingly comfort the listener. Lunar Sea [Live - Bonus] - I used to hate this song, but now it’s one of my favorites. Preparation/Dunkirk [Live - Bonus] without a doubt is the standout song of Moonmadness.
