01/03/1974 | Happy Release Day 1974 | Camel - Mirage PAX #camelband #paxrecords #deramrecords @camel_band Allmusic: „Camel are still ironing out some quirks in their sound on Mirage, but it's evident that they are coming into their own.“ Udiscovermusic: „Mirage includes two of the band’s best-known songs in “White Rider” and “Lady Fantasy” and the quality of all five tracks on the album is unquestionable. The album opens with “Freefall” featuring keyboard player Bardens effective use of his brand new mini-Moog before it breaks into a driving keyboard and guitar riff-driven song that is a signal of intent.“ „The album’s artwork was, of course, based on the carton for a famous brand of American cigarettes that seemed much loved by GIs and gangsters in Hollywood movies.“ https://www.instagram.com/p/CajokxcOuhZ/?utm_medium=tumblr
