Camel - Nod and Wink - Impressive Album


Camel, my No.1 favourite Progressive rock group. This album was their last release, 2002. I just had the chance to listen to it today.

I am very impressed, a true piece of art, I never thought camel would be able to produce the same old magic like their previous albums as Mirage or snowgoose, they are even better now. Well done camel. I am glad that i bought this CD, it was my mistake not to have bought it in 2002 when it was just released, I missed 3 years of joy.... To all progressive rock fans, go and buy this CD, you won't be disappointed.

I agree - it's one of their best. It's one of the most played in my collection. I saw them live during the promo tour. "Rajaz" is the release just prior to Nod and a Wink and it's also fantastic. I'm hoping they'll put out another new CD shortly (though their web site doesn't give any indication of imminent release).
since we're talking about their whole catalog I'll add 2 cents more . . . I have all of their studio albums starting with the first. Everything from the first up thru "Raindances" are fantastic, then Dust and Dreams, Harbour of Tears, Rajaz, and Nod and a Wink are equal to them though not in the classic sense of the first ones.Those in between are a little spotty, though all worth having. Many, many great guitar solo's - check out "Ice" off of "I Can See Your House From Here". It's 10 minutes long, mezmerizing, and the cd is worth the proce just for that single track.
Great call by Rwwear - I received the copy of the "Coming of Age" DVD I ordered today and have finished the first viewing. It's excellent all the way through - and especially "Ice". I wish the audio as DD5.1 (it's 2.0), but the video, camera work and sound quality are very good. The performances are excellent and the set list is too. I saw them 2 years ago on their tour supporting "Nod and a Wink", this reminds me of that show.
