So what are you listening to?

Just listened to Stationary Traveller. I never really explored Camel and perhaps I should have. I listened to the album as the title track comes up on spotify playlists every now and again. As does Echoes which I also like.

Back in the day when my main educator in Rock Music was Tommy Vance of a Friday night (and occasionally Alan Freeman with his show on Capital) I used to record songs I liked the sound of on a c90. I was always very dilligent on avoiding any dj speak over the recordings but this sometimes caused an issue with not knowing what the song or artist was.

One example was a song by Tangerine Dream - I remembered it was them but not the song. That finally came up on Spotify 4 or 5 years ago - White Eagle.

Anyway back to Stationary Traveller. The introduction to one of the songs started to ring bells - really started to sound familiar as the vocal started - and then the chorus "Cloak and Dagger Man" - a song I recorded 40 years ago finally had a name and a group associated with it.

There's one more still unkown a song by Eloy.

I listened to Rain Dances earlier in the year and found it a bit meh. I do like some of their stuff but haven't listened often. I'll give Stationary Traveller a go in the next few days, I think.

Dark Side of the Moon. It's been a while... this is the 2016 cut LP with mastering from Bernie Grundman. Sounds fantastic. Just a regular retail priced LP, superb.

I really like Drifting Sun, but this 1999 album - On the Rebound - is their best which was never equalled after their 6 year break.
