Of the different time periods of Camel, which do you hope the new album will share the most sound links to?

Even though I voted for "Camel" to "Moonmadness", "Dust and Dreams" to "A Nod and a Wink" will more likely be true. :)

I voted for Dust and Dreams to A Nod and a Wink, but i also like Rain Dances to Nude. Tough decision to make, they are all brilliant!

What are we talking about here? The composition style? The instrumentation? The production? The musicianship? or all? I don't want to hear Camel going back to the past. A new album should be different to anything they've done before, but retaining the Camel signature. That is progressiveness.

It will just just be nice to hear some new music form the band. The album would be melodic and classy like all Camel CDs, but should reflect the passage of time since the last album, and the trials the band have gone through since then.

Have always wondered what happened to the second half of Dust & Dreams that Andy has supposedly written though, I wonder if that will ever be recorded?

Hi there,

I suppose I need to apologize - my original phrasing on the Skylines website may have been unclear regarding the 2nd half of Dust and Dreams.

Let me clarify - there's no other part to Dust and Dreams.

As far as I recall, Andrew mentioned writing (and possibly recording) the whole Dust and Dreams back in the late 80's in England, but failing to find a distributor to release it. He then moved to the US, re-wrote and (re)-recorded the 2nd half of Dust and Dreams prior to releasing it on his own label. I was able to find this interview to partially confirm my memory: http://www.magenta.co.il/camel/notes/articles/expo-rdd.htm

So - there may be another (demo) version of Dust and Dreams where the music is somewhat different. But nowhere did mean to say that Andrew has had a portion of "Dust and Dreams pt 2".

The first cd I ever bought was The Snow Goose in 1983. This was long after I had been buying the vinyl releases. Although I have all the reissues I still have the original cd.
