El rock sinfònic,va ser un gènere musical de principis dels 70´s,que injustament no va suportar bé el pas del temps.
Un exemple de aquest estil són els Camel,un grup amb complexos ritmes i música experimental.
Formats el any 1972 a Surrey,la formació original era Andy Latimer(guitar,flute,vocals),Andy Ward(drums),Doug Ferguson(bass),i Peter Bardens(Keyuboards),anteriorment al grup Them.
El segon album,“Mirage”(1974),conté meravellosos sols instrumentals.
Es un disc amb un so caracteristic,on destaquen el teclista Pete Bardens,i el guitarra Andy Latimer.
Cal esmentar la suite “Lady Fantasy”,amb un llarg sol de guitarra que es un clàssic dins al rock progressiu.
El tercer àlbum,es al millor exemple de rock progressiu “The Snow Goose” (1975),un album conceptual i instrumental on es narra una història d’ amor,entre un cavaller que desapareix durant una guerra,i la seva princesa que es troba amb una oca blanca després de la batalla.
Aquesta fabula representa l’esperança de l’amor,davant de la guerra.

I can do recordings to be transfered in digital source
the most rare original pressings,are hard-to-find albums than often sound far superior to any reissues.Instead to pay an audio engineer,new labels use a quick mastering process than loose dynamics and destructive audio,to save money.
I have submitted masters to record labels and released digitizations with quite good dynamics.
If you have a piece of vintage audio that you would like digitized,please contact me.
