''Moonmadness'' is an album released in March 1976 by English progressive rock band Camel. It was their fourth album and the last to feature the band's original line-up (Latimer, Bardens, Ferguson, Ward). After the success of the tightly structured, instrumental ''The Snow Goose'' in 1975, the band added vocals to their music again. The album has an overall theme, just as their previous one did, but does not follow a storyline since it is mostly based on the band members themselves. As written in the CD Booklet: Overall, the tracks comprising the album were conceived as a loose concept based on the individual personalities that made up Camel; "Air Born" about Andrew Latimer, "Lunar Sea" about Andy Ward, "Chord Change" about Peter Bardens and "Another Night" about Doug Ferguson. The cover was designed by Field. The last song on the album, "Lunar Sea", ends with a minute-long wind-blowing effect. On some LP pressings, the record arm would skip during the end of this part and naturally return to the beginning of the effect, playing it endlessly (the "terminal groove" effect). In the ''Q'' & ''Mojo'' Classic Special Edition ''Pink Floyd & The Story of Prog Rock'', the album came number 23 in its list of "40 Cosmic Rock Albums".〔''Q Classic: Pink Floyd & The Story of Prog Rock'', 2005.〕 It was voted no. 58 in the Top 100 Prog albums of All Time by readers of 'Prog' magazine in 2014. ==Track listing== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Moonmadness」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
