Camel é uma banda britânica de rock progressivo formada em 1971.

O grupo lançou seu primeiro álbum em 1973 pela MCA Records.

Desbandaram por um breve período em 1981 mas retornaram com mudanças na formação.

Em 2003 o Camel fez sua turnê de despedida.

Camel quer dizer camelo em inglês e como o período do auge da banda também coincidiu com o auge da propaganda de uma marca de cigarros que empregava a figura de um camelo fumando, os discos da banda foram boicotados pelos antitabagistas, o que precipitou sua decadência.

Marillion – Fugazi (84)


1 Assassing
2 Punch and Judy
3 Jigsaw
4 Emerald Lies
5 She Chameleon
6 Incubus
7 Fugazi


At the conclusion of the Script for a Jester's Tear tour, Marillion decided to give drummer Mick Pointer his marching orders, replacing him momentarily with Camel's Andy Ward and later by American studio whiz Jonathan Mover.

Mover's recruitment proved to be short-lived, as Fish ushered in Steve Hackett's drummer/percussionist, Ian Mosley, whose spot-on drumming was the perfect foil for Marillion's meticulous musicianship.

With Mosley, the band set out to record its sophomore effort.

The first track to emerge from the Fugazi sessions would be "Punch and Judy" (which EMI released as the album's first single).

In hindsight, this wasn't a smart move — the single quickly vanished into chart oblivion.

As the sessions turned into a grueling and at times exasperating multi-studio juggling act (ten different studios were used for the tracking/mixing of the record), Fugazi proved to be a somewhat disjointed follow-up to the classic Script for a Jester's Tear.

Despite its superlative arrangements, the album lacked its predecessor's cohesion and focus, but all was not lost: Buried in the album's murky mix are three Marillion classics.

"Assassing," "Incubus," and especially the album's title track showcase the band at its melodramatic best.

The cryptic "Fugazi" was a highlight of the band's live set for many years to follow.

In 1998, EMI issued a remastered version of Fugazi featuring a bonus disc full of oddities and demos, including "Three Boats Down From the Candy," a 12" version of "Cinderella Search," and four of the album's original demos.

The remastered version goes a long way toward restoring the album's original sonic aesthetic (lost somewhere along the way in initial vinyl and CD pressings).

This is a normal version.
