Camel - The Paris Collection (2001)
New CD from prog band features 10 live tracks, including the bonus track 'Slow Yourself Down' (Rehersal Version) from Camel Productions.
Perfectly, the album opens with Ice, a track from the album: I can See Your House From Here, I never get tired of hearing it. This surely must be one of the finest instrument tracks ever been written. After this serene start the tempo is soon lifted up with the second track Chord Change again another instrumental. This piece has lost none of it's chemistry over the years. The general mood of the album is somewhat laid back and the following song reflects this with the beautiful acoustic version of Fingertips, taken from the Stationary Traveller album. Next we go back to Camel's debut album for the first of the two versions of Slow Yourself Down, track four follows with the more traditional arrangement of the piece, taken from the concert and features some excellent organ. I noticed the album is slightly more instrumental than previous albums but the lack of vocals is compensated perfectly by the chemistry between both old and new bandmembers. Sahara, the only track taken from Rajaz best demonstrates this and all the musicians sound wonderfully close together. The CD moves into a rockier mode for the first of three tracks from Dust and Dreams, starting with Mother Road slipping into the atmospheric Little Rivers and Little Rose and finishing up with Hopeless Anger. And finally the last track from the concert is a Camel favourite, Lady Fantasy. I have no problem in recommending this CD. There is enough variation within the structure and arrangements of Camel's material for the release of another live album...P. Kistmaker
