...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI


..::OPIS::..

Na początku były Dzikie Kwiaty ( Wild Flowers ). Pod tą nazwą wiosną 1963 w klubach Canterbury i okolicy pojawili się muzycy: Robert Wyatt ( perkusja ), Richard Sinclair ( gitara ), Hugh Hopper ( bas ), Brian Hopper ( gitara, saksofon ) i Graham Flight ( śpiew ). Wszyscy oni poznali się w Simon Langton School. Po kilku tygodniach wspólnego grania Flighta zastąpił Kevin Ayers - to on do słowa wild dodał literkę e na cześć Oskara Wilde. Od tego czasu zespól nosił nazwę Wilde Flowers. W 1964 roku odbyła się pierwsza sesja nagraniowa, w ramach której grupa nagrała " You Really Got Me " i " Thinking Of You Baby ". 16.03.1965 w Waunt Steenhuis' Studios w Broadstairs muzycy zarejestrowali swoje demo, na którym znalazły się: " Parchman's Farm " ( Brooker White ), " Almost Grown " ( Chusk Berry ), " Memories " (Hugh Hopper ) i " She's Gone " ( Kevin Ayers ). W czerwcu 1965 Wilde Flowers opuszcza Ayers, na którego miejsce powraca Flight. W tym samym miesiącu odbyła się kolejna sesja nagraniowa, tym razem muzycy zapisali następujące kompozycje : " Slow Walkin' Talk " ( Brian Hopper ), " He's Bad For You " ( Wyatt ), " Don't Try To Change Me " ( Hugh Hopper ) i " It's What I Feel " ( Hugh Hopper ). We wrześniu 1965 współpracę z zespołem definitywnie kończą Kevin Ayers i Graham Flight. w miesiąc póżniej grupę opuścił Richard Sinclair - zastępuje go Richard Cougham. Na tym nie zakończyły się jeszcze zmiany w składzie osobowym Wilde Flowers. Od listopada 1965 grupa koncertuje w składzie: Hopper, Hopper, Cougham ( perkusja ), Wyatt ( śpiew ) i Pye Hastings ( gitara, saksofon ). Wyżej wymienieni wystąpili na konkursie talentów organizowanym przez Melody Maker ( 29.05.1966 ) i na konkursie rockowym radio London w Dreamland Ballroom w Margate ( 24.06.1966 ). Po tych występach z zespołem rozstał się Wyatt, by wkrótce wraz z Ayersem , Allenem i Nolanem założyć Mister Head, z którego następnie wyłoniła się grupa Soft Machine. Jesienią 1966 Hugh Hopper odstawił na bok gitarę basową i zaczął grać na saksofonie - towarzyszyli mu brat Brian, Hastings, David Sinclair ( kuzyn Richarda, organy ) i David Lawrence ( bas, śpiew ). W kilka miesięcy później ( maj 1967 ) Hugh Hopper porzuca kolegów, a jesienią tegoż 1967 roku z Wilde Flowers odchodzą Brian Hopper i Lawrence. I to był już prawdziwy koniec Dzikich Kwiatów, bo Cougham, Hastings i David Sinclair w 1968 roku założyli Caravan. Wilde Flowers był przede wszystkim zespołem koncertującym, za jego życia nie ukazała się żadna płyta, nawet singiel. Kompozycje protoplastów sceny Canterbury utrzymane były w stylistyce big beatu, rock and rolla, soulu, rythm and bluesa i ,w późniejszym okresie, muzyki eksperymentalnej. 8.12.1994 ukazała się płyta CD " The Wilde Flowers" zawierająca nagrania z lat 1965 i 66 oraz z 1969 ( jak wiemy, w tym roku grupa już nie istniała, być może chodzi o utwory Soft Machine ). Tę płytę wznowiono 15.09.1998 roku pod tytułem " Tales Of Canterbury: Wilde Flowers ". Kompozycje tej grupy odnajdziemy też na trzypłytowym wydawnictwie " Canterbury Tales ".

...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI


..::OPIS::..

Fantastyczny heavy metal z mnóstwem riffów, świetnymi solówkami i znakomitym wokalem!



Achelous has always been a pretty solid power metal band but something about their third full-length just seems more striking than their previous efforts. The mix of grandiose leads, furious rhythms, and soaring choruses evokes contemporaries like Sacred Outcry and Seven Sisters, but it also taps into an early aughts power metal mindset that feels hard to come by nowadays. I listen to Tower Of High Sorcery and it hits that nostalgic part of my brain occupied by the likes of Kamelot, Blind Guardian, Theocracy, and Jag Panzer (more on them later) among others.

As much as the instrumentation shines on this album, the vocals are majorly elevated compared to their earlier efforts with a couple guest singers getting to make their mark. “Into The Shadows” is an especially notable instance of this in action, featuring none other than The Tyrant providing those soaring highs and extra grit alongside that persistent gallop. The more sporadic vocals provided by Anastasia Megalokonomou also greatly shape the atmosphere on a couple songs, giving life to the folk interludes like “Pagan Fire” and some backing grandeur on the already colossal closing nine minutes of “When The Angels Bleed,.”

But even when the core band is left to their own devices, they manage to get some pretty incredible songs out of it. “The Oath” is another fast-paced number that puts in the album’s most pounding chorus. The title track and “Fortress of Shadow” also stand out as epic mid-tempo numbers whose determined trudges and evocative choruses nearly dip into power-doom territory.

Overall, Achelous’s already solid power metal reaches some serious new heights with Tower of High Sorcery. There’s a bit of underdog appeal in knowing the band still has its limitations to sort out, but they’ve never sounded this commanding between the more potent atmosphere and some of the best hooks I’ve heard from this side of things in a good while. I’ve never even read the Dragonlance series and this does a pretty good job of making it sound pretty badass.

...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI


..::OPIS::..

"Muzyka naiwna" Tercetu Kamili Drabek (Soliton, 2019) to jeden z najcieplej przyjętych jazzowych debiutów ostatnich lat. Zespół w składzie Marcin Konieczkowicz (saksofon altowy), Kamila Drabek (kontrabas) i Kacper Kaźmierski (perkusja) na swoim pierwszym wydawnictwie zaproponował bezpretensjonalną, zróżnicowaną i ujmującą młodzieńczą swadą i energią, muzykę. Formacja powraca z albumem "Tak bym chciała kochać już", który ukazuje się blisko pół dekady po debiutanckim krążku. Co działo się z zespołem przez ten czas?

Nie da się ukryć, że pięć lat to na dzisiejsze standardy spora przerwa w wydawaniu płyt, ale choć niczego nie nagraliśmy, to zespół był aktywny koncertowo i na innych polach. W czasie pandemii realizowaliśmy np. projekt z utworami Jerzego „Dudusia” Matuszkiewicza, a na specjalne zamówienie Polska Jazz Festival w Budapeszcie powstał nowy, awangardowy materiał. Te wszystkie aktywności i czas spędzony w innych składach naturalnie wpłynęły na kształt nowego krążka – wyjaśnia Kamila Drabek.

Drugi album zespołu został zarejestrowany w pełni analogowo. Przy pierwszej płycie nie mieliśmy jeszcze takiego doświadczenia w pracy studyjnej, a po tych kilku latach wiedzieliśmy znacznie lepiej, jakie brzmienie chcemy uzyskać, dlatego też zwróciliśmy się do Piotra Zabrodzkiego z Pasterka Studio - kontynuuje basistka.

Na "Tak bym chciała kochać już" trafiło sześć autorskich kompozycji Kamili Drabek, a także dwie wspomnianego już Matuszkiewicza oraz jedna Sonny’ego Rollinsa. O ile jednak utwory tego pierwszego są zagrane w dużej zgodności z oryginałem, tak kompozycja legendarnego saksofonisty została potraktowana ze sporą odwagą. „Duduś” to jeden z moich absolutnie ukochanych polskich kompozytorów – po prostu uwielbiam te tematy, a nazwanie albumu tytułem jednego z nich to bezpośredni ukłon w stronę amerykańskiego jazzu i zamiłowania do standardów. Jerzy Matuszkiewicz zmarł w 2021 roku, o jego dorobku nie mówi się tyle, ile bym sobie życzyła, dlatego zdecydowałam się na taki prywatny ukłon w jego stronę. Rollins to z kolei jazzowy gigant, ale utwór, po który sięgnęliśmy, miał tak duży potencjał aranżacyjny, że po prostu musieliśmy to wykorzystać i zaproponować coś innego – w ten sposób temat inspiracji i tytułu albumu podsumowuje liderka.

"Tak bym chciała kochać już" to album pokazujący fenomenalny rozwój i świadomość zespołu, ale nieskażony kalkulacją i zmęczeniem. Dojrzały i szlachetny w kwestii brzmienia i repertuaru, a przy tym pełen wigoru i lekkości.

Audio Cave


To emphasize the attachment to the sound of jazz albums from decades ago, the band decided to record using analog tape. The recording took place in October 2023 in the "Pasterka" studio in Warsaw and was made by Piotr Zabrodzki.

“I would like to love like so” - for the love of Polish jazz. The trio sentimentally plays melodies that are forgotten and creates new ones that can evoke similar feelings.
It's a reference to the past, but without regret or refraining from progress.
On the band's second album you can expect graceful and folk inspired melodies and youthfully performed old-school jazz with a touch of humor. As well as original interpretations of compositions by masters, e.g. Jerzy Duduś Matuszkiewicz or Sonny Rollins.

...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI


..::OPIS::..

Drugi album miażdżącej kanadyjskiej załogi grającej masywny death/grind inspirowany twórczością BRUTAL TRUTH, CATTLE DECAPITATION, DEVOURMENT!!! 15 utworów w tym cover AGORAPHOBIC NOSEBLEED!!!

Naprawdę imponująca 'oda do szaleństwa"!!!



I’m not sure what is going on on this album cover, but I’m pretty sure what’s going on with the music: bruising modern grindcore with elements of slam, death metal and even deathcore.

The 15 tracks short sharp bursts and less than 40 minute time plays into the classic grindcore tropes as do the trifecta of vocals (burps, growls squeals), as does the band’s lyrics themes of politics, war, society etc (and cover of Agoraphobic Nosebleed‘s “Vexed”) and many of the tracks’ furious stabs of classic anarcho-grindcore chaos such as “Oil Spills”, “Time to Panic”, “The Last Call” and ‘The Neighbors House is on Fire”.

But rather than go too muddy or the mid range Nasum/Rotten Sound delivery, there is modern undercurrent of polished and slamming, deathcore heft, especially in the pig squeals and exaggerated rhythm section (dat bass!), which plods and pummels with a massive presence, especially in the many slamming, loping grooves such as “Syrian Nato Meat Grinder”, “9 Meals to Anarchy-Riot Solves Everything”, “My Right to Medicate” “Overwhelming Positive Vibe” and “Dead Jeremians 2014″. It’s all pretty beefy and meaty with lots of downtuned bludgeoning, but its never too overdone or sterile and the songs hit that sweet spot between too short grindcore and more memorable, longer last death metal 3 and a half minutes or so to get all the burping, grooving and blasting in.

Fans of Blood Duster, Squash Bowels, less gurgly Cock and Ball Torture and even fans of the likes of Devourment or some deathcore will enjoy this. It’s a brutal, brainless listen that requires little effort.

...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI


..::OPIS::..

Ostatni, trzeci album brytyjskiej progresywnej grupy, wydany w 1971 roku. Niemal równie świetny jak doskonała dwójka, jedynie nagrania nieco krótsze.



Formed in Newport, Wales, in 1967 Blonde On Blonde took their name from Bob Dylan's groundbreaking 1966 double LP. Original members Ralph Denyer (vocals, guitar), Les Hicks (drums), Richard Hopkins (bass, organ) and Gareth Johnson (guitar, sitar) moved to London in 1968 and played in the psychedelic underground club scene. They also appeared on the BBC series How Late It Is. By 1969 they already had one LP out on Pye, Contrasts, which helped them secure a gig at that summers Isle Of Wight festival. When Denyer left to join Aquila long time friend David Thomas joined the band bringing a harder rock oriented sound and and progressive rock feel. The new line up switched from Pye to Ember where they released their second LP, Rebirth, in 1970. Sad news came in 1971 whith the death of Richard Hopkins. The band, however, found a replacement in Graham Davis and went on to record their third and last album in 1971, also on Ember: Reflections On A Life.

Blonde On Blonde's sound has rooted firmly in UK psychedelia with a progressive edge, they mixtured a wide range of influences and echoes of The Pink Floyd, Jefferson Airplane, Cream, Hendrix or The Who lived in perfect harmony with touches of The Incredible String Band imagery in their lyrics. Reflections On A Life is the album in which all the contrasts that make the Blonde On Blonde sound go further ahead in adventure and experimentation, includig surreal out of this world touches a la Syd Barrett. It is an album that plays with the contrast between countryside and big city, as Dave Thomas himself remembers :

"There was something very special about being able to live a life split between two worlds, one quiet and countrified, and the other - on the road or in the heart of London's nightlife!

I think you can hear that contrast in the music itself: a mixture of focused energy and laid-back calm. It was a reflection of the way we lived and worked. We all came from a heavily industrialised Welsh seaport that was closely surrounded by mountains and wild romantic countryside, it was the contrast that inspired us.

And it still inspires me. I am about to release a new Blonde On Blonde album. The music's already 'in the can' and includes songs from Blonde On Blonde's live performances that were not previously released. It also includes some very recent material. The new album is called "Coldharbour" (another name for my hometown Newport). It was hearing "Rebirth" again that brought me determination to complete the project."

Sundazed has unearthed another long-lost treasure, this one from the ancient ruins of mid-'60s LA: the unissued album by Penny Arkade! This Michael Nesmith-produced gem, a jangly melange of the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and Moby Grape, was inexplicably shelved. At long last, here it is-plus 17 bonus tracks and a detailed band history a tape-vault find of the highest order!

..::OPIS::..

Po lekkim wakacyjnym wydawniczym marazmie sezon przedświąteczny prezentuje się całkiem bogato. Wśród wielu zapowiedzianych pozycji, o których będę sukcesywnie pisał, szczególnie interesująco wygląda imponujący box, jakże uwielbianej przeze mnie grupy Camel. Wydawnictwo „Air Born: The MCA & Decca Years 1973-1984” przygotowano z okazji 50-lecia ukazania się pierwszego longplaya formacji. Będzie ono zawierać aż 27 płyt CD (!!!) oraz 5 Blu-Ray’ów.

Zestaw wypełnią zremasterowane wersje wszystkich albumów studyjnych, koncertowych oraz singli zrealizowanych przez Camel dla wytwórni MCA i Decca. Do tego dojdą trzy recitale dla BBC: BBC Radio One „In Concert” – 6 czerwiec 1974, BBC Radio One „In Concert” – 22 kwiecień 1975 oraz BBC „In Concert” – Golders Green Hippodrome – 29 wrzesień 1977. Kolejne trzy koncerty to na nowo zmiksowane występy: „Live at Marquee Club, London” – 20 czerwiec 1974, „Live at Hammersmith Odeon” – 14 kwiecień 1976 oraz „Live at Hammersmith Odeon” – 1 październik 1977. Wszystkie te zapisy były co prawda już publikowane jako bonusy na poprzednich edycjach albumów zespołu, ale w nieco chaotyczny i nieuporządkowany sposób. Teraz będzie można ich wysłuchać w całości. Nader ciekawie i obiecująco przestawiają się studyjne (w większości niepublikowane) bonusy, pochodzące z sesji do poszczególnych albumów. Nie ma ich dużo, ale na pewno przysporzą sporo radości fanom formacji. Odrzutem z pierwszego albumu jest utwór „Sarah”. Aż pięć nagrań, które trafiły na płytę „Mirage”, otrzymamy dodatkowo także we wczesnych wersjach demo z 15 czerwca 1973r. Dwa mniej znane nagrania „Autumn” i „Riverman”, zespół zrealizował gdzieś pomiędzy longplayami „Mirage” i „The Snow Goose”. Krążek „Moonmadness” uzupełnią m.in. trzy studyjne dema. I wreszcie utwór „Captured” z płyty „Nude” usłyszymy we wczesnej, nieznanej dotąd wersji.

Jakby tego było mało, albumy „Camel”, „Mirage”, „The Snow Goose”, „Moonmadness” i „Nude” otrzymujemy także w zupełnie nowych miksach stereo oraz 5.1. Ogromna szkoda, że w podobny sposób nie opracowano pozostałych płyt. Być może nie udało się odnaleźć taśm z zapisami wielośladowymi?

Jeśli chodzi o materiały wideo, to poza paroma klipami i fragmentami występów z TV znajdą się tam koncerty: BBC TV „The Old Grey Whistle Test” – 21 czerwiec 1975, Live at Hammersmith Odeon – 1 październik 1977 oraz film „Pressure Points”. Pudełko uzupełni oczywiście gruba książka oraz plakat.

The box features 27 CDs & five blu-rays and includes newly remastered versions of every Camel album and single issued between 1973 and 1984, but also includes new stereo and 5.1 Surround Sound versions of five albums, as well as new mixes of three concerts; The Marquee Club, London 1974, Hammersmith Odeon 1976 and Hammersmith Odeon 1977.

The package also features previously unreleased outtakes from album recording sessions and BBC Radio ‘In Concert’ appearances from 1974, 1975, 1977 and 1981.




Emerging just in time to honour the 50th anniversary of their debut album, Air Born is a sprawling boxed set which, as the title implies, celebrates their years spent with MCA and Decca. This was not always a happy time in terms of the band's relationship with Decca; in particular, after Andy Ward suffered a mental health crisis and attempted suicide, Andrew Latimer wanted to put the band on hiatus for a while to give Ward a chance to recuperate, but heartlessly Decca demanded that Camel put out a new studio album anyway - and pressured them to make it commercially friendly on top of that - which is what led to the critical stumble of The Single Factor.
Still, musically speaking this covers the music which Camel built their legacy on and more besides. Full remasters (and, for some select albums, additional stereo remixes) of all the Camel studio releases from their debut to Stationary Traveller are, naturally, included, along with a range of supplementary material ranging from unreleased studio tracks through to full live performances.

Much of this stuff has emerged in one form or another as bonus tracks over time, but there are a few significant bits of material which are new to this release. The major scoop of the collection is the full demo tape the band recorded in between their debut album and Mirage, which finds early versions of almost all the Mirage tracks present - only Freefall from that album is missing, and instead we get The Traveller, a Uriah Heep-ish piece which seems to have been abandoned as being more in keeping with their debut album's sound than Mirage's. In terms of sound quality, the demo is top notch, and captures the band's musical growth since they recorded their self-titled album marvellously, forming a hitherto-missing link between that and Mirage.

As for the live material, this is largely a mixture of BBC sessions and material released elsewhere, though there are enhancements and additions here and there. Early live performances include the take on God of Light Revisited originally recorded for the Greasy Truckers - Live At Dingwalls Dance Hall release, a funky, Santana-influenced piece. Again, this has been fairly widely repackaged as a bonus track on some issue or other over the years.

BBC sessions here include a June 1974 recording showcasing the band fresh from the release of Mirage, a more expansive 1975 offering giving extensive extracts from The Snow Goose (with the band on excellent form and proving they didn't need the orchestra to evoken the album's magic live), their excellent appearance on The Old Grey Whistle Test, and a 1977 Sight and Sound In Concert appearance from the Rain Dances lineup primarily focused on that album but also including great takes on Snow Goose material, Never Let Go from the debut, and an absolutely stellar take on Lunar Sea from Moonmadness. Much of this material has shown up as bonus tracks or on bootlegs over the years, but it's nice to get it in fairly definitive versions here.

Rather than presenting A Live Record in either its original or expanded configurations, the box instead offers the complete original live recordings from the different shows which made up that release. This includes a full set from the Marquee Club in October 1974, in which the band both burn through excellent renditions of Mirage-era material and road test compositions which would later make it onto The Snow Goose. The sound quality on this is remarkably good - perhaps the best of any of the pre-Goose live offerings here - and it's interesting how the Snow Goose compositions differ to account for the lack of an orchestra in tow.

Naturally, there's also the Royal Albert Hall full performance of The Snow Goose with orchestra from 1975, which would form the basis of the second disc of A Live Record; this is enhanced by an encore performance of Lady Fantasy, skillfully adapted to account for the orchestra.

We also get a full concert set from the Hammersmith Odeon in 1976; previously only smatterings of this had been borrowed for the extended CD version of A Live Record or on some reissues of Moonmadness, but having the full show to hand in its original running order is excellent. There's a few technical issues audible - notably some faint buzzing on a few tracks which could be down to the original tapes having an issue or might be indicative of some of the band's equipment having a bit of a moment, but this is a mild blemish easily overlooked, especially since some care seems to have been taken here to tidy up the lives tapes as best as possible.

This live set is especially valuable since it provides a final showcase for the original lineup of Camel - some would say the classic lineup - prior to personnel shifts and their Rain Dances-era drift into a Canterbury-influenced direction. You get Latimer, Ward, Ferguson, and Bardens at the absolute top of their game, with a setlist drawn from some of the greatest albums not just in the Camel discography but in the progressive rock pantheon as a whole, with the setlist finally presented on disc more or less as it was conceived to be delivered onstage; when you think about it, that's absolutely fantastic.

The band return to the Odeon in 1977 for a barnstorming set which, along with some stray tracks from other venues rounding off the Live Record material. The 1977 Odeon show is the fullest document of the Rain Dances lineup live on this set, and it's absolutely superb. Between that and the tracks from Bristol and Leeds, the Rain Dances period ends up being the era of the band that's perhaps best-represented by live material here (with The Snow Goose period a close second).

Other live material in the collection includes a tightened-up reissue of the BBC session previously released as On the Road 1981 (including two tracks - Summer Lightning and Ice - not included on previous releases of the BBC session) and, lastly, a remaster of Pressure Points.

Most prog fans will have at least some of the material here - though the new mixes of Camel, Mirage, The Snow Goose, Moonmadness, and Nude are good enough to be worth dipping into (and the previous mixes are also presented so you can judge which you prefer) - but even Camel fanatics probably won't have all of it. If you've got significant gaps to fill in your Camel collection - or if the prospect of all those live goodies have you salivating - it's highly worthwhile, offering the lion's share of their output in one package.

...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI


..::OPIS::..

Po lekkim wakacyjnym wydawniczym marazmie sezon przedświąteczny prezentuje się całkiem bogato. Wśród wielu zapowiedzianych pozycji, o których będę sukcesywnie pisał, szczególnie interesująco wygląda imponujący box, jakże uwielbianej przeze mnie grupy Camel. Wydawnictwo „Air Born: The MCA & Decca Years 1973-1984” przygotowano z okazji 50-lecia ukazania się pierwszego longplaya formacji. Będzie ono zawierać aż 27 płyt CD (!!!) oraz 5 Blu-Ray’ów.

Zestaw wypełnią zremasterowane wersje wszystkich albumów studyjnych, koncertowych oraz singli zrealizowanych przez Camel dla wytwórni MCA i Decca. Do tego dojdą trzy recitale dla BBC: BBC Radio One „In Concert” – 6 czerwiec 1974, BBC Radio One „In Concert” – 22 kwiecień 1975 oraz BBC „In Concert” – Golders Green Hippodrome – 29 wrzesień 1977. Kolejne trzy koncerty to na nowo zmiksowane występy: „Live at Marquee Club, London” – 20 czerwiec 1974, „Live at Hammersmith Odeon” – 14 kwiecień 1976 oraz „Live at Hammersmith Odeon” – 1 październik 1977. Wszystkie te zapisy były co prawda już publikowane jako bonusy na poprzednich edycjach albumów zespołu, ale w nieco chaotyczny i nieuporządkowany sposób. Teraz będzie można ich wysłuchać w całości. Nader ciekawie i obiecująco przestawiają się studyjne (w większości niepublikowane) bonusy, pochodzące z sesji do poszczególnych albumów. Nie ma ich dużo, ale na pewno przysporzą sporo radości fanom formacji. Odrzutem z pierwszego albumu jest utwór „Sarah”. Aż pięć nagrań, które trafiły na płytę „Mirage”, otrzymamy dodatkowo także we wczesnych wersjach demo z 15 czerwca 1973r. Dwa mniej znane nagrania „Autumn” i „Riverman”, zespół zrealizował gdzieś pomiędzy longplayami „Mirage” i „The Snow Goose”. Krążek „Moonmadness” uzupełnią m.in. trzy studyjne dema. I wreszcie utwór „Captured” z płyty „Nude” usłyszymy we wczesnej, nieznanej dotąd wersji.

Jakby tego było mało, albumy „Camel”, „Mirage”, „The Snow Goose”, „Moonmadness” i „Nude” otrzymujemy także w zupełnie nowych miksach stereo oraz 5.1. Ogromna szkoda, że w podobny sposób nie opracowano pozostałych płyt. Być może nie udało się odnaleźć taśm z zapisami wielośladowymi?

Jeśli chodzi o materiały wideo, to poza paroma klipami i fragmentami występów z TV znajdą się tam koncerty: BBC TV „The Old Grey Whistle Test” – 21 czerwiec 1975, Live at Hammersmith Odeon – 1 październik 1977 oraz film „Pressure Points”. Pudełko uzupełni oczywiście gruba książka oraz plakat.

The box features 27 CDs & five blu-rays and includes newly remastered versions of every Camel album and single issued between 1973 and 1984, but also includes new stereo and 5.1 Surround Sound versions of five albums, as well as new mixes of three concerts; The Marquee Club, London 1974, Hammersmith Odeon 1976 and Hammersmith Odeon 1977.

The package also features previously unreleased outtakes from album recording sessions and BBC Radio ‘In Concert’ appearances from 1974, 1975, 1977 and 1981.




Emerging just in time to honour the 50th anniversary of their debut album, Air Born is a sprawling boxed set which, as the title implies, celebrates their years spent with MCA and Decca. This was not always a happy time in terms of the band's relationship with Decca; in particular, after Andy Ward suffered a mental health crisis and attempted suicide, Andrew Latimer wanted to put the band on hiatus for a while to give Ward a chance to recuperate, but heartlessly Decca demanded that Camel put out a new studio album anyway - and pressured them to make it commercially friendly on top of that - which is what led to the critical stumble of The Single Factor.
Still, musically speaking this covers the music which Camel built their legacy on and more besides. Full remasters (and, for some select albums, additional stereo remixes) of all the Camel studio releases from their debut to Stationary Traveller are, naturally, included, along with a range of supplementary material ranging from unreleased studio tracks through to full live performances.

Much of this stuff has emerged in one form or another as bonus tracks over time, but there are a few significant bits of material which are new to this release. The major scoop of the collection is the full demo tape the band recorded in between their debut album and Mirage, which finds early versions of almost all the Mirage tracks present - only Freefall from that album is missing, and instead we get The Traveller, a Uriah Heep-ish piece which seems to have been abandoned as being more in keeping with their debut album's sound than Mirage's. In terms of sound quality, the demo is top notch, and captures the band's musical growth since they recorded their self-titled album marvellously, forming a hitherto-missing link between that and Mirage.

As for the live material, this is largely a mixture of BBC sessions and material released elsewhere, though there are enhancements and additions here and there. Early live performances include the take on God of Light Revisited originally recorded for the Greasy Truckers - Live At Dingwalls Dance Hall release, a funky, Santana-influenced piece. Again, this has been fairly widely repackaged as a bonus track on some issue or other over the years.

BBC sessions here include a June 1974 recording showcasing the band fresh from the release of Mirage, a more expansive 1975 offering giving extensive extracts from The Snow Goose (with the band on excellent form and proving they didn't need the orchestra to evoken the album's magic live), their excellent appearance on The Old Grey Whistle Test, and a 1977 Sight and Sound In Concert appearance from the Rain Dances lineup primarily focused on that album but also including great takes on Snow Goose material, Never Let Go from the debut, and an absolutely stellar take on Lunar Sea from Moonmadness. Much of this material has shown up as bonus tracks or on bootlegs over the years, but it's nice to get it in fairly definitive versions here.

Rather than presenting A Live Record in either its original or expanded configurations, the box instead offers the complete original live recordings from the different shows which made up that release. This includes a full set from the Marquee Club in October 1974, in which the band both burn through excellent renditions of Mirage-era material and road test compositions which would later make it onto The Snow Goose. The sound quality on this is remarkably good - perhaps the best of any of the pre-Goose live offerings here - and it's interesting how the Snow Goose compositions differ to account for the lack of an orchestra in tow.

Naturally, there's also the Royal Albert Hall full performance of The Snow Goose with orchestra from 1975, which would form the basis of the second disc of A Live Record; this is enhanced by an encore performance of Lady Fantasy, skillfully adapted to account for the orchestra.

We also get a full concert set from the Hammersmith Odeon in 1976; previously only smatterings of this had been borrowed for the extended CD version of A Live Record or on some reissues of Moonmadness, but having the full show to hand in its original running order is excellent. There's a few technical issues audible - notably some faint buzzing on a few tracks which could be down to the original tapes having an issue or might be indicative of some of the band's equipment having a bit of a moment, but this is a mild blemish easily overlooked, especially since some care seems to have been taken here to tidy up the lives tapes as best as possible.

This live set is especially valuable since it provides a final showcase for the original lineup of Camel - some would say the classic lineup - prior to personnel shifts and their Rain Dances-era drift into a Canterbury-influenced direction. You get Latimer, Ward, Ferguson, and Bardens at the absolute top of their game, with a setlist drawn from some of the greatest albums not just in the Camel discography but in the progressive rock pantheon as a whole, with the setlist finally presented on disc more or less as it was conceived to be delivered onstage; when you think about it, that's absolutely fantastic.

The band return to the Odeon in 1977 for a barnstorming set which, along with some stray tracks from other venues rounding off the Live Record material. The 1977 Odeon show is the fullest document of the Rain Dances lineup live on this set, and it's absolutely superb. Between that and the tracks from Bristol and Leeds, the Rain Dances period ends up being the era of the band that's perhaps best-represented by live material here (with The Snow Goose period a close second).

Other live material in the collection includes a tightened-up reissue of the BBC session previously released as On the Road 1981 (including two tracks - Summer Lightning and Ice - not included on previous releases of the BBC session) and, lastly, a remaster of Pressure Points.

Most prog fans will have at least some of the material here - though the new mixes of Camel, Mirage, The Snow Goose, Moonmadness, and Nude are good enough to be worth dipping into (and the previous mixes are also presented so you can judge which you prefer) - but even Camel fanatics probably won't have all of it. If you've got significant gaps to fill in your Camel collection - or if the prospect of all those live goodies have you salivating - it's highly worthwhile, offering the lion's share of their output in one package.
