Kit Watkins

"Beautiful Moments" CD compilation was released on April 08, 1991. CD contains a single disc with 15 new-age songs

In 1990, the label Cuneiform released Beginnings, filling a huge gap in Happy the Man's discography. The jewel of American progressive rock recorded its first album in 1977, but its members had been hard at work for over three years. This CD contains home recordings from February 1974 to July 1975, for a total of seven songs not available anywhere else…..

Another triumph! After the band was dropped by Arista, these appear to be demo tapes for a third release. Again, the band offers up some tasty prog, chock full of great instrumentals along with some vocal tracks. "Eye of the Storm" is a Kit Watkins tune that Camel also recorded during his tenure with that band (on I Can See Your House From Here). Both versions are very similiar. "The Falcon" is a great heavy ominous piece that features an evil sounding slide guitar solo from Stanley Whitaker, who also takes on vocal duties and does an admirable job. Some other favorites here are "While Crome Yellow Light Shine" with its bright horn sounds and driving rhythm; this one also features some stinging work from Whitaker. The fusion feel of "Run into the Ground" and the jazzy "Footwork" make this a well rounded release. Also, the drumming of Coco Roussel is outstanding. He is not just a drummer, but a fine percussionist. This CD contains the final recordings of the band, and shows that they were still full of creativity.

On the Road 1982 features the band's tenth anniversary tour performance from The Hague, Netherlands. Unfortunately, as the liner notes explain, the original tapes were lost, and the recording presented here draws from the version that passed through the mixing desk. While the end result is still better than your garden-variety bootleg, the sound of the "Camel Live" ladle scraping the bottom of the proverbial barrel is inescapable. Camel was promoting The Single Factor at the time (no wonder they called it the tenth anniversary tour), with a cast that bore little resemblance to any popular incarnation of the band.
