Album Notes & Community Reviews

With 'Breathless', Camel effectively streamlined their expansive symphonic sound into significantly shorter, highly accessible progressive pop structures. Retaining Richard Sinclair's wonderfully warm vocals, the album is a profoundly melodic, deeply optimistic exploration of lush pop-rock, marked by its incredibly playful, bright summer atmosphere.
