I Can See Your House From Here (1979)

I don't listen to this album very often. Though it came after both, I would put it inbetween Rain Dances and Breathless both in "sound" and in quality (better than the former, not as good as the latter). Nothing about it really stands out, except for possibly the instrumental finale, "Ice". There are some nice upbeat songs; "Remote Romance" is particularly fun. The slower pieces are pretty ordinary and forgettable.

Overall, it's a good album. I think it was particularly disappointing to me because Breathless was such a promising return to the old Camel sound, but it seems to be changing direction again here.

Other Opinions

From William W. Thompson:
I am very hot on this CD. The level of musicianship kept rising within Camel with this album. Great keyboards! "Hymn to Her" is great. "Remote Romance" shows the then New Wave crowd how to do it right. And "Ice" is simply a classic. Love this disk!
