"Camel's classic 5th album from 1977 has been digitally remastered and expanded with the single version of "Highways To The Sun" and six songs recorded live for the BBC In Concert show. The enhanced packaging contains rare and previously unseen photographs and sleevenotes by Mark Powell."
Rain Dances, the band's fifth, is my personal favorite Camel album. The band lost their bassist after Moonmadness, and needing a bassist and wanting a change of direction, they settled on the amazingly talented bassist/singer/writer Richard Sinclair, fresh from his stint with Hatfield and the North (and Caravan before that). Richard's work adds a nice, jazzy/fusion/Canterbury dimension to their sound, which is furthered by the addition of ex-King Crimson saxist Mel Collins, who also performs strongly. A classic progressive release from a bit late in the day - 1977 - which makes it that much more impressive!
