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).
I assume you have "Dust and Dreams",Harbour of Tears and Rajaz[HDCD] and a Great Concert DVD,"Coming of Age".All more current Classic's.You just about need all their Albums especially their early output.Classy Stuff!Andy is a great Guitar Player and songwriter to say the least!Moonmadness anyone?
Yes, I have all of their early stuff, great stuff indeed. I also have the Camel - Pressure points live (DVD), which was produced in 1984, it is 2-channel stereo only, the picture quality is moderate, but the performance is simply stunning !, this is camel in its full glory, Andy lattimer guitar playing is unbelievable, listen to the song "Pressure Points", it has one of the best guitar solos I have ever heared, remindes me of steve hacket in selling england by the pound !
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.
I have most all of the Camel stuff including the DVDs. They are a great band. I went to see them in Atl. a couple of years ago but the show was cancelled due to illness. A Nod and a Wink is quite good as well as Rajaz. Rajaz is also an audiophile recording. And the live version of Ice on the Coming of Age DVD is wonderful.
