This takes me back to college days; I'd arrive early, sit in my favorite please, get some coffee and cigarettes and listen to Camel nonstop until my girlfriend finishes her lectures and join me…
The best days of my life! Thank you, Camel, for this beauty…

One of most important albums of my life... Created my musical preferences, when I was maybe 16yo... Didn't know about remake until today. Thank You Camel!
