Camel (Progressive Rock {UK})

Camel (photo 01)

Camel é uma banda inglesa de rock progressivo formada em Guildford, Surrey, em 1971. Liderados pelo guitarrista Andrew Latimer, eles lançaram quatorze álbuns de estúdio e quatorze singles, além de vários álbuns ao vivo e DVDs. Sem alcançar popularidade em massa, a banda ganhou um culto de seguidores na década de 1970 com álbuns como "Mirage" (1974) e "The snow goose" (1975). Eles mudaram para uma direção mais jazzística e comercial no início dos anos 80, mas depois entraram em um hiato prolongado. Desde 1991 a banda é independente, lançando álbuns em seu próprio selo.

Apesar de não haver novos lançamentos de estúdio desde 2002, a banda se apresentou em turnê em 2018. Sua música influenciou artistas como Marillion, Opeth e Steven Wilson. O jornalista musical Mark Blake descreveu Camel como "os grandes heróis desconhecidos do rock progressivo dos anos 70".

HISTÓRIA
DÉCADA DE 1970

Andrew Latimer (guitarra), Andy Ward (bateria) e Doug Ferguson (baixo) estavam tocando como um trio chamado The Brew em Guildford, Surrey, região da Inglaterra. No início de 1971, eles fizeram o teste para ser a banda de apoio do cantor/compositor Phillip Goodhand-Tait e apareceram em seu álbum "I think I'll write a song" na DJM Records. Eles então recrutaram o tecladista Peter Bardens e depois de um show inicial para cumprir um compromisso de Bardens sob o nome de Peter Bardens' On, eles mudaram seu nome para Camel. Seu primeiro show com esse nome foi no Waltham Forest Technical College, em Londres, apoiando a Wishbone Ash em dezembro de 1971.

Em agosto de 1972, Camel assinou com a MCA Records e seu álbum de estréia homônimo, "Camel", foi lançado no início de 1973. O disco não foi um sucesso e a banda mudou-se para a divisão Deram Records da Decca Records (Reino Unido). Em 1974 lançaram seu segundo álbum, o aclamado pela crítica "Mirage", no qual Latimer mostrou que também era adepto da flauta. Embora não tenha conseguido entrar nas paradas domésticas, obteve sucesso nos Estados Unidos, levando a uma turnê de três meses por lá.

Lançado em 1975, o álbum conceitual instrumental "The snow goose", inspirado no conto de Paul Gallico de mesmo nome, foi o álbum inovador que trouxe maior atenção e sucesso à Camel. No entanto, o álbum atraiu um processo de Gallico. É frequentemente relatado que Gallico trouxe o processo porque "odiava fumar" e achava que a banda estava relacionada à marca de cigarros. Na realidade, Gallico se descreveu como "um viciado do vício em todas as suas formas mais negras" e sua objeção foi simplesmente com base na violação de direitos autorais. Camel adicionou o prefixo "music inspired by..." à capa do álbum e removeu as notas da história da contracapa. O sucesso do álbum levou a uma apresentação de prestígio no Royal Albert Hall com a London Symphony Orchestra em outubro de 1975.

O quarto álbum da banda, "Moonmadness" (1976), foi o último a apresentar a formação original. Mel Collins foi adicionado à banda no saxofone e flauta para a turnê subsequente. O baterista Ward estava pressionando por uma mudança para o jazz, o que fez com que o baixista Ferguson deixasse a banda no início de 1977. Ferguson formou a banda Headwaiter e mais tarde tornou-se um promotor imobiliário.

Richard Sinclair (ex-Caravan) substituiu Ferguson, e Mel Collins se juntou à banda oficialmente. Esta formação lançou "Rain dances" (1977) e "Breathless" (1978). Este último foi o último álbum a apresentar Bardens, que anunciou sua saída antes da turnê de apoio. Ele foi substituído por dois tecladistas ambos recrutados da Caravan: Dave Sinclair (primo de Richard) e Jan Schelhaas. Os primos Sinclair deixaram a banda após a turnê, substituídos pelo tecladista Kit Watkins e pelo baixista Colin Bass. Essa formação gravou o mais comercial "I can see your house from here" (1979) - a capa do álbum, fotografada e desenhada por Gered Mankowitz, é uma imagem fotográfica manipulada de um astronauta crucificado olhando para a Terra.

DÉCADA DE 1980

O lançamento de 1981 "Nude" foi um álbum conceitual baseado em uma história real do soldado japonês Hiroo Onoda. Duncan Mackay forneceu a maioria dos teclados no lugar de Watkins e Schelhaas, que estavam envolvidos em outros projetos, mas voltaram para a turnê. Este foi o primeiro álbum a apresentar letras da futura esposa de Latimer, Susan Hoover. Em meados de 1981, Ward parou de tocar bateria devido ao abuso de álcool e drogas e Camel silenciosamente se desfez.

Sem uma banda, mas com um contrato a cumprir e pressão da Decca por um hit, Latimer se juntou a uma série de músicos convidados e de sessão no Abbey Road Studios no início de 1982. O álbum "The single factor" foi lançado no final daquele ano, atingindo não. 57 no Reino Unido. Outra formação com o tecladista Ton Scherpenzeel (da banda holandesa de rock progressivo Kayak) e o baterista Paul Burgess (ex-10cc) lançou o álbum "Stationary traveler" em 1984. O contrato de Camel com a Decca expirou no final de 1984, enquanto Latimer prevaleceu em uma disputa legal com um antigo gerente. Latimer mudou-se para os Estados Unidos e desfez o grupo novamente.

DÉCADA DE 1990

Após um hiato de sete anos, Latimer reviveu o nome Camel em 1991 e lançou o álbum "Dust and dreams" sob sua própria gravadora independente Camel Productions. O álbum contou com vários jogadores que apareceram nos dois álbuns anteriores do grupo no início de 1980. O tecladista Mickey Simmonds, que já havia apoiado Mike Oldfield e Fish, ingressou em 1992.

Em 1992, um homem chamado Roy Clay se aproximou do ex-baterista da Camel, Andy Ward, e afirmou ser um fã da banda, além de um experiente empresário musical. Clay propôs uma turnê de reunião da Camel: Ward apoiou o esquema, mas Peter Bardens foi o único outro ex-membro a mostrar interesse. Clay então recrutou alguns ex-membros da Caravan e tentou promover a banda como uma nova formação legítima da Camel, mas um desafio de direitos autorais de Latimer forçou uma mudança de nome. Sob o nome de Mirage, este grupo realizou uma pequena turnê no final de 1994 e lançou um álbum ao vivo. Os membros da Mirage nunca foram compensados, e as práticas fraudulentas de Clay foram abordadas em uma música de 1995 da Caravan. Também sob a gestão de Clay, Bardens liderou outra banda sob o nome Mirage que lançou um álbum ao vivo em 1996. Clay também vendeu mercadorias falsificadas da Camel, e vários anos depois foi condenado por fraude e falsificação.

Nesse meio tempo, Latimer e Hoover escreveram "Harbour of tears" (um apelido para Cobh Harbor na Irlanda, de onde muitos navegaram para os Estados Unidos durante a Grande Fome) sob o nome Camel, lançado em 1996. Em 1999, Latimer, o baterista Dave Stewart, o baixista Colin Bass e o tecladista Ton Scherpenzeel gravaram "Rajaz", um disco inspirado em uma antiga métrica poética árabe de mesmo nome que reflete o ritmo de passos de camelo no deserto.

2000-2010

Em 2001, Latimer montou outra nova formação com Bass, o baterista Denis Clement e o tecladista Guy LeBlanc. A banda lançou o álbum "A nod and a wink" em 2002. O álbum foi dedicado ao ex-membro Peter Bardens, que morreu no início daquele ano. O grupo ficou inativo por grande parte da década seguinte, quando Latimer recebeu tratamento para mielofibrose.

Após a recuperação de Latimer, Camel voltou a excursionar em 2013, incluindo performances completas de "The snow goose". Uma versão nova e estendida desse álbum foi lançada em novembro de 2013. LeBlanc retirou-se da turnê em 2014 devido a uma doença e morreu em 2015 - ele foi substituído por Ton Scherpenzeel.

Latimer foi presenteado com um prêmio Lifetime Achievement no Progressive Music Awards de 2014 da Orange Amplification, e a turnê "Snow goose" de 2013-14 foi indicada na categoria de evento ao vivo. A banda continuou em turnê ao longo da década, e um DVD ao vivo gravado no Royal Albert Hall foi lançado no início de 2020. Latimer continua a escrever novas músicas, embora a banda não tenha lançado um álbum de estúdio desde 2002.

ESTILO MUSICAL

Camel foi descrita como uma "banda de rock progressivo sinfônico". Predominantemente instrumental, a música da Camel combina elementos do rock, pop, jazz, blues, folk, clássico e eletrônico. Embora eles não sejam de Canterbury, eles têm sido associados à cena de Canterbury devido às suas muitas conexões históricas com Caravan e outros músicos de rock progressivo de Canterbury.

LEGADO

Camel tem sido reconhecida como uma das principais influências no subgênero do rock neo-progressivo que surgiu na década de 1980 e produziu Marillion como sua banda de maior sucesso. O ex-vocalista da Marillion, Fish, disse sobre sua primeira impressão da banda: "Eu pensei que eles eram muito parecidos com a Camel".

  • O álbum "Fuera de tiempo" da banda argentina Rockaphonia contém três covers de tributo a Camel.
  • Uma banda de tributo, The Humps, em Israel, executa rotineiramente alguns dos materiais da banda.
  • Outra banda de tributo chamada Fritha (depois da música do álbum "The snow goose") está se apresentando no Japão.
  • Na Suécia há uma banda tributo chamada Lady Fantasy (depois da música do álbum "Mirage").
  • Uma banda chamada Raha no Irã está fazendo covers de músicas da Camel.
  • No Egito, Andromida também está fazendo covers da Camel em seu set.
  • Em 2010, a banda norueguesa de rock progressivo Mirage, batizada com o título do segundo álbum da Camel, incluiu canções da Camel entre um conjunto de peças da Yes, Jethro Tull e King Crimson.
  • No Líbano, uma banda chamada Babel improvisou sobre a música da Camel "Storm clouds" em 28 de outubro de 2011.
  • Mikael Åkerfeldt da banda sueca de death metal progressivo Opeth citou Camel como uma influência para a música "Hessian peel" e brincou anteriormente no DVD "Lamentations (Live at Shepherd's Bush Empire, 2003)" que o material de seu "Damnation" (2003) ) foi um "rip-off" da Camel.
  • Steven Wilson da Porcupine Tree citou Camel como uma influência. Em uma entrevista de 2013, ele expressou seu interesse em remixar os álbuns clássicos da Camel. Latimer no final de 2013 respondeu positivamente ao interesse de Wilson.
  • Rick Astley, em uma entrevista à Billboard em 2016, referiu-se à turnê da Camel "The snow goose" como seu primeiro show, afirmando que "isso me surpreendeu".
  • Andy Tillison da The Tangent gravou uma faixa chamada "Music inspired by music inspired by The Snow Goose" como uma homenagem a Camel, lançada em seu álbum solo de 2016 "(Machte es) Durch".

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Camel are an English progressive rock band formed in Guildford, Surrey, in 1971. Led by guitarist Andrew Latimer, they have released fourteen studio albums and fourteen singles, plus numerous live albums and DVDs. Without achieving mass popularity, the band gained a cult following in the 1970s with albums such as "Mirage" (1974) and "The snow goose" (1975). They moved into a jazzier, more commercial direction in the early 1980s, but then went on an extended hiatus. Since 1991 the band has been independent, releasing albums on their own label.

Despite no new studio releases since 2002, the band performed on tour as recently as 2018. Their music has influenced artists including Marillion, Opeth and Steven Wilson. Music journalist Mark Blake described Camel as "the great unsung heroes of 70's prog rock".

HISTORY
1970s

Andrew Latimer (guitar), Andy Ward (drums), and Doug Ferguson (bass) had been playing as a trio called The Brew around the Guildford, Surrey area of England. In early 1971 they auditioned to be the back-up band for singer/songwriter Phillip Goodhand-Tait and appeared on his album "I think I'll write a song" on DJM Records. They then recruited keyboardist Peter Bardens and after an initial gig to fulfill a Bardens commitment under the name Peter Bardens' On, they changed their name to Camel. Their first gig under that name was at Waltham Forest Technical College, London supporting Wishbone Ash in December 1971.

In August 1972 Camel signed with MCA Records and their eponymous debut album, "Camel", was released in early 1973. The record was not a success and the band moved to the Deram Records division of Decca Records (UK). In 1974 they released their second album, the critically acclaimed "Mirage", on which Latimer showed he was also adept on flute. Although failing to chart at home, it gained success in the United States, prompting a three-month tour there.

Released in 1975, the instrumental concept album "The snow goose", inspired by the Paul Gallico short story of the same name, was the breakthrough album that brought Camel wider attention and success. However, the album attracted a lawsuit from Gallico. It is often reported that Gallico brought the suit because he "loathed smoking" and thought the band were related to the cigarette brand. In reality Gallico described himself as "an addict of the vice in all its blackest forms" and his objection was simply on the grounds of copyright infringement. Camel accordingly added the prefix "music inspired by..." to the album's front cover and removed the story notes from the back cover. The album's success led to a prestigious appearance at Royal Albert Hall with the London Symphony Orchestra in October 1975.

The band's fourth album, "Moonmadness" (1976), was the last to feature the original lineup. Mel Collins was added to the band on saxophone and flute for the subsequent tour. The drummer Ward was pushing for a move into jazz, which caused bassist Ferguson to quit the band in early 1977. Ferguson formed the band Headwaiter and later became a property developer.

Richard Sinclair (formerly of Caravan) replaced Ferguson, and Mel Collins joined the band in an official capacity. This lineup released "Rain dances" (1977) and "Breathless" (1978). The latter was the last album to feature Bardens, who announced his departure before the supporting tour. He was replaced by two keyboard players both recruited from Caravan: Dave Sinclair (cousin of Richard) and Jan Schelhaas. The Sinclair cousins both left the band after the tour, replaced by keyboardist Kit Watkins and bassist Colin Bass. This lineup recorded the more commercial "I can see your house from here" (1979) - the album's cover, photographed and designed by Gered Mankowitz, is a manipulated photographic image of a crucified astronaut looking at Earth.

1980s

The 1981 release "Nude" was a concept album based on a true story of Japanese soldier Hiroo Onoda. Duncan Mackay provided most of the keyboards in lieu of Watkins and Schelhaas, who were involved in other projects but returned for the tour. This was the first album to feature lyrics by Latimer's future wife Susan Hoover. In mid-1981, Ward stopped playing drums due to alcohol and drug abuse and Camel quietly disbanded.

Without a band, but with a contract to fulfill and pressure from Decca for a hit song, Latimer was joined by an array of guest and session musicians at Abbey Road Studios in early 1982. The album "The single factor" was released later that year, reaching number 57 in the UK. Another lineup featuring keyboardist Ton Scherpenzeel (of Dutch prog-rock band Kayak) and drummer Paul Burgess (ex-10cc) released the album "Stationary traveller" in 1984. Camel's contract with Decca expired in late 1984, while Latimer prevailed in a legal dispute with a former manager. Latimer moved to the United States and disbanded the group again.

1990s

After a seven-year hiatus, Latimer revived the Camel name in 1991 and released the album, "Dust and dreams" under his own independent label Camel Productions. The album featured several players who had appeared on the group's two previous albums in the early 1980s. The keyboardist Mickey Simmonds, who had previously backed Mike Oldfield and Fish, joined in 1992.

In 1992, a man named Roy Clay approached former Camel drummer Andy Ward and claimed to be a fan of the band as well as an experienced music manager. Clay proposed a Camel reunion tour: Ward supported the scheme but Peter Bardens was the only other former member to show interest. Clay then enlisted some former members of Caravan and attempted to promote the band as a legitimate new lineup of Camel, but a copyright challenge from Latimer forced a name change. Under the name Mirage, this group conducted a short tour in late 1994 and released a live album. The members of Mirage were never compensated, and Clay's fraudulent practices were addressed in a 1995 song by Caravan. Also under Clay's management, Bardens led another band under the name Mirage that released a live album in 1996. Clay also sold counterfeit Camel merchandise, and several years later was convicted of fraud and forgery.

In the meantime, Latimer and Hoover wrote "Harbour of tears" (a nickname for Cobh Harbour in Ireland from which many sailed to the United States during the Great Famine) under the Camel name, which was released in 1996. In 1999 Latimer, drummer Dave Stewart, bassist Colin Bass, and keyboardist Ton Scherpenzeel recorded "Rajaz", a record inspired by an ancient Arabic poetic metre of the same name that reflects the rhythm of camel footsteps in the desert.

2000s-2010s

In 2001, Latimer assembled another new lineup with Bass, drummer Denis Clement, and keyboardist Guy LeBlanc. The band released the album "A nod and a wink" in 2002. The album was dedicated to former member Peter Bardens, who had died early that year. The group was inactive for much of the following decade as Latimer received treatment for myelofibrosis.

After Latimer's recovery, Camel returned to touring in 2013, including full performances of "The snow goose". A new and extended version of that album was released in November 2013. LeBlanc withdrew from touring in 2014 due to illness and died in 2015 - he was replaced by a returning Ton Scherpenzeel.

Latimer was presented with a Lifetime Achievement award at Orange Amplification's 2014 Progressive Music Awards, and the 2013-14 "Snow goose" tour was nominated in the category of Live Event. The band continued to tour throughout the decade, and a live DVD recorded at Royal Albert Hall was released in early 2020. Latimer continues to write new music, though the band has not released a studio album since 2002.

MUSICAL STYLE

Camel have been described as a "symphonic prog rock band". Predominantly instrumental, Camel's music combines elements from rock, pop, jazz, blues, folk, classical and electronica. Though they are not from Canterbury, they have long been associated with the Canterbury scene due to their many historical connections with Caravan and other Canterbury progressive rock musicians.

LEGACY

Camel have been acknowledged as one of the principal influences on the neo-progressive rock subgenre which emerged in the 1980s and produced Marillion as its most successful band. Former Marillion lead singer Fish said of his first impression of the band: "I thought they were a lot like Camel".

  • The album "Fuera de tiempo" by Argentinean band Rockaphonia contains three Camel tribute covers.
  • A tribute band, The Humps, in Israel, routinely performs some of the band's material.
  • Another tribute band named Fritha (after the song on "The snow goose" album) is performing in Japan.
  • In Sweden there is a tribute band named Lady Fantasy (after the song on the "Mirage" album).
  • A band named Raha in Iran is doing covers of Camel songs.
  • In Egypt, Andromida is also doing covers of Camel amongst their set.
  • In 2010, the Norwegian progressive rock band Mirage, named after the title of Camel's second album, included Camel songs among a set of Yes, Jethro Tull and King Crimson pieces.
  • In Lebanon, a band called Babel improvised over Camel's song "Storm clouds" on 28 October 2011.
  • Mikael Åkerfeldt of Swedish progressive death metal band Opeth has cited Camel to be an influence for the song "Hessian peel" and previously joked on the "Lamentations (Live at Shepherd's Bush Empire, 2003)" DVD that material from their "Damnation" (2003) album was a "rip-off" of Camel.
  • Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree has cited Camel as an influence. In a 2013 interview he expressed his interest to remix the classic Camel albums. Latimer later in 2013 replied positively to Wilson's interest.
  • Rick Astley, in an interview with Billboard in 2016, referred to Camel touring "The snow goose" as his first ever concert, stating "it blew my mind".
  • Andy Tillison of The Tangent recorded a track called "Music inspired by music inspired by The Snow Goose" as a tribute to Camel, released on his 2016 solo album "(Machte es) Durch".
