Notes:  The nice thing about CDs replacing vinyl as the medium of choice is that you can find records like this at a flea market for 50 cents.  I missed this band the first time around, but since then I've come to really appreciate what they were up to.  Long pieces make up the bulk of the album and they carry you right along with them.  The outside cover art is a pairing of the band picture and the camel in question on the moon.  Inside the gatefold cover presents us with an almost "Dean-like" scene.  Give it a listen if you can find it.
