Glad to see someone else knows of this band. Some of the best flute work of the 70's is on this album. I think I'm gonna spin this today.

Andrew Latimer has to be one of the most underrated guitarists of the 70s.  Not because of flashy guitar solos, but because of consistently inventive melodic lines, a superior chordal vocabulary and an absolutely gorgeous tone.  He had the chops for guitar solos, but the good sense to only use them when the situation absolutely called for it.

Spot on. Just wiki'd him since I wasn't sure what he was up to anymore but I guess he's suffered some pretty serious health issues. Glad to see he's progressed some and playing guitar again.

Been in a very non-metal mood today.

Well, there should be. Everyone put down your metal and take a listen to both Expresso albums!

or Soft Machine, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Tony Williams' Lifetime, Can, Ash Ra Tempel, early Weather Report, Larry Coryell's Eleventh House, Henry Cow, etc.

Well, there are more than a few of us who aren't all Metal all the time but nobody pays attention when we post here or anywhere else for that matter.

Yeah I don't have a metal hat to take off.

I hear you guys. And let's not forget Return to Forever! And everything else S.D. listed. And the sax player in akeldama's avatar.

Today while I was running around doing errands, I listened to a folder of 500 "rock" songs a friend uploaded for me.  I heard everything from Tom Petty to Marilyn Manson, Buffalo Springfield to Nirvana, The Ramones to Elvis Presley.

That just about sums up my musical tastes; I'm all over the place.  The only style I like that seems to be missing from this collection is industrial metal.  No Ministry, NIN or KMDFM.  Other than that I love putting this folder on "random" and listening to what comes up.

Metal/Rock--including the bands you've mentioned--is my first love. Jazz is my second. Folk is third. Everything else is my fourth, but my exclusions are EDM, modern R&B, Praise & Worship, and Rap. Industrial is meh but still tolerable for me, especially Klayton's work. That about sums it up. Sorry, all this banter probably belongs in a different thread.

Today on the elliptical :

Vicious Rumors - Born Again Hard
Loudness - Bad Date (Nothing I Can Do)
Triumph - Hot Time (In This City Tonight)
Armored Saint - Crisis Of Life
Overkill - Undying
Armored Saint - Symbol Of Salvation
Metallica - Hits The Lights
Heathen - Set Me Free

Now that I finally got off work, back to Camel....

and currently watching disc one of:

So far today:
WASP: WASP
Voivod: War and Pain

On deck:
Bon Jovi: Bon Jovi

Followed by:
WASP: The Last Command
Fates Warning: Parallels
Warrior Soul: Salutations From the Ghetto Nation

Steven Wilson - Get All You Deserve: Live in Mexico City
(on blu-ray)

I'm also a huge Camel fan, was just spinning 'Rain Dances' and 'Moonmadness' the other week. I think 'Mirage' is actually my least favorite from that era, however. The last one they put out (A Nod And A Wink) is very very very good.


Dargaard - The Dissolution of Eternity
Emperor - Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk
Freedom Call - The Circle Of Life

Right on; four Camel fans here so far.

I'm a Camel fan as well...
