 Predominantly instrumental, with melody paramount, Camel's music combines elements from rock, pop, jazz, blues, folk, classical and electronica.Without achieving mass popularity, the band gained a cult following over the years with albums such as "Mirage", "The Snow Goose" and "Moonmadness".Surviving punk rock, they moved into a jazzier, more commercial direction, but then were put on a seven-year hiatus in the mid-1980s.
