About this album

Universal Music Ltd. (2002) Released: 3 Jun 2002 21 tracks (67:48)
Music Inspired by The Snow Goose is the third album released by the band Camel in 1975. The success of the White Rider suite (based on J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings and appearing on the band’s previous album, Mirage), inspired the group to write more novel-inspired conceptual suites. The band considered several novels on which to base their next album. For a time they settled on Siddhartha, by Hermann Hesse, and some songs were written before the idea was abandoned in favor of Paul Gallico’s novel The Snow Goose. The album’s name, originally simply “The Snow Goose”, was altered to accommodate legal protests by Gallico.

The album reached silver status in 1981, and is considered by many to be their most accessible work. It is remarkable for having no lyrics and orchestral (plus rock) instrumentation.

    I kind of wish this had just been one track. It kind of annoys me when prog bands make an album a bunch of tiny tracks. Album's still completely awesome as a whole, though.
