I Can See Your House From Here by Camel
in their 1979 shape, still shining fine
though taking too many steps from progressive
into pop, sadly enough without Bardens on keyboards
Rediscovered Record # 19:1
by kinda chakra based evaluation
most Whole Soulful song : WHO WE ARE
most Introspective Dreamlike song : EYE OF THE STORM *
most Expressively Amusing song : REMOTE ROMANCE
most Beautifully Lovable song : HYMN TO HER (or end of Who We Are)
most Mighty Strongfelt song : WAIT
most Sexy Teasing song : NEON MAGIC
most Survive-Struggling song : SURVIVAL (more of an intro)
Above and/or Below everyone : ICE
while single material "Your Love is Stranger Than Mine" there's no big space for in my appreciation
* like a perfect signature melody for some television series!?!
Reminds me most of :
Genesis
Manfred Mann's Earth Band
10cc
Alan Parsons' Project
Toto
Electric Light Orchestra
Saga
Whole Album
(4) compositions

= 39
I now give 1-7 for each cathegory
where 3 is good and total possible 8 x 7 = 56 never exist(?)

some pieces in the end are rather questionable (as always)
whether they really belong to progressive rock or something else??
though the upper majority are represented in forums as progarchives
however my definition is dynamic, kind of rhapsodic, longer pieces
in which
rock guitar stuff
use to be balanced
by orchestral or organ-based parts
