Camel anyone?

[a21schizoidman]

British prog-rock band Camel would kick ass on Rock Band

a good DLC would be
Lady Fantasy - Encounter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=301yJNLt8kM
Freefall http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gcagz8epRN8
Nimrodel - The Procession http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwtAIKP58o4


Rhayader Goes to Town http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aezncdri9Y

You know Harmonix doesn't do GH anymore, Activision does.

BTW I dont reaqlly know there songs, can you post a couple videos?

[Anonymous]

helps to have some samples of their music to listen to.

[a21schizoidman]

i went through and updated the OP to include videos because there have been some good ones go up since I made this thread

[Toxor_Axiom]

Great progressive rock music, which means you likely won't ever see it released as DLC. The money calls the shots, not Harmonix, and this doesn't scream "BUY ME" like modern thrash does... which is a shame.

[afterstasis]

yeah, i've buy a few camel songs.

[Frenzy5iron]

Mirage album for DLC.

[a21schizoidman]

Mirage album for DLC.

as much as I love Mirage (and its probably their 2nd most accessible album) I would love to have I Can See Your House From Here as a full album before Mirage (esp. b/c of the beautiful instrumental "Ice")

So would Mirage and I Can See Your House From Here be good starting points for someone who wants to start listening to them? (cause I do)

Mirage and The Snow Goose are the most easily accessible, I Can See Your House From Here would be good after you dive into one of those albums though

Lol~ I see why The Snow Goose is the most accessible~ it's all instrumental.

Once I get my computer back I can check out Mirage and some of their other albums

Many of their songs would be great for RB (weird I thought I already posted in this thread)

i would literally *** in my pants if they announced Camel DLC, hell, even one song

That and Moody Blues you can through in some Caravan as well

[a21schizoidman]

i would drive to boston and give all the devs BJs for a giant prog pack (and im straight)

[yaniv297]

The Snow Goose is their best album.

We need Rhayader Goes To Town in RB!

[jayou521]

Now that I've heard Mirage, I would absolutely love to play Lady Fantasy in Rock Band.

Lady Fantasy - Encounter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=301yJNLt8kM
I just noticed that you do not have the full song in the OP.

Now that we have an 11 minute song, I don't think it would be much of a stretch to get the entire 12-13 minute version.

at the time i couldn't find a good source for the song that was readily available

[RogueSpartan104]

I just started listening to Camel, and they're incredible. It would be amazing if Rock Band got any songs from them. Especially any songs from the first few albums.

[a21schizoidman]

i actually forgot about this thread, maybe someone with some good letter-writing skills should contact them for RBN, would be a good way to re-gain exposure

[Alvarado6411]

Why hello Camel thread! I would love to have Rhayader Goes to Town. I contacted them so I hope they respond!

[jayou521]

"Lady Fantasy (http://www.rhapsody.com/camel/echoes-the-retrospective-1972-1992/lady-fantasy-medley-encounter-smiles-for-you-lady-fantasy)" is one of my most wanted Prog Rock songs for RB.

I NEED that song in the game.


I contacted them so I hope they respond!
Hopefully they do. Keep us posted!

[BlackwaterPark]

Camel came up one time randomly when I was listening to a last.fm station, and I tried to make a mental "this band is awesome, remember them" note. Then, of course, I promptly forgot about it within a half hour. So thanks for starting this thread to remind me!

[jayou521]

I contacted them so I hope they respond!
Nothing yet I presume...

I'm still frequently sending HMX lengthy requests for Lady Fantasy (http://www.lala.com/popup/432627052144404874)~

There's just so much awesomeness packed into that song :D

They haven't responded.

I really want Freefall.

[a21schizoidman]

I really want Freefall.

same here, t'would be badass on all instruments

[jayou521]

Can I have both Lady Fantasy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8d6u9QzjUo) and Freefall (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gcagz8epRN8) now please? That would be just splendid.

Keyboards in the game means "Lady Fantasy" would be even more awesome to play on all instruments.

Oh boy, that KEYBOARD SOLO (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlwJCQmQnDQ#t=0m40s)!!! :D

[jayou521]

Now that we have YES in RB3, "Lady Fantasy" is the latest addition to my top 5 most wanted DLC.

[soup567]

Yes. RB needs more prog, especially classic prog.

[Alvarado6411]

Camel would be godly for keyboards!!!

[LegendofRock3021]

Listening to Mirage right now and these songs would be fantastic, I'm down for some Camel.
