Customer Reviews

SHOULD HAVE RELOCATED!!!
I Can See Your House From Here completes the trilogy of post Moonmadness patchy works. Like the previous two albums there is much to enjoy, but the songs are polarised from being top notch one minute to downright awful the next.
'Wait' opens the album promisingly enough with some good musical flair and some ELO/Supertramp style vocals. 'Who We Are' and 'Hymn To Her' show that Camel can put out a decent ballad or two when they put their minds to it. Instrumental wise 'Eye Of The Storm' and the quite excellent 'Ice' deliver the goods.
However, these tracks are counterbalanced by some serious pap. 'You're Love Is Stranger Than Mine' is another poor effort by Camel to write a hit single, while 'Neon Magic' and 'Remote Romance' are simply embarassingly duff.
Better albums were only round the corner, despite continued changes in personnel, but despite the upswing in musical and creative ideas to come, Camel had lost a heck of a lot of credibilty and a gradually diminishing fan base with the previous three records of which I Can See Your House From Here is thankfully the last.

S. Waite
Buy this CD just to hear track 10 "ICE". 10 mins and 10 secs of pure emotion. A Guitar instrumental which takes your breath away.
How one man (Andrew Latimer), can make an electric guitar evoke such beauty is beyond me.

Endangered Species
Camel's most varied album, superbly produced by Rupert Hine. Amazingly, it's been deleted in the U.K. for a number of years, despite the presence of the epic 'Ice', which is often voted as one of Camel's greatest tracks. The album is fabulously commercial and has a confidence that later albums like 'Single Factor' and 'Stationary Traveller' lacked. 'Wait' opens the album at full throttle, with superb keyboard interplay between Kit Watkins and Jan Schelhaas. 'Your Love Is Stranger Than Mine' was almost a hit single and 'Who We Are' is one of Camel's most underated tracks and has a beautiful orchestral arrangement. 'Hymn to Her' has been a live favourite many times and 'Neon Magic' has a beefy, driving, fairground atmosphere - spot the melody at the fade out!'Remote Romance' is clever, light-hearted sequencer driven electro pop and its penultimate positioning makes the 10 minute 'Ice' even better. Andrew Latimer's guitar solo on 'Ice' is worth buying the CD for alone. It is one of greatest guitar solos you will ever hear in rock. 'Endangered Species' was the original album title.
