Camel – Freefall

From the UK, the first track on their second album released in 1974.

The storm of tight, full-band hits at the outset leaves a vivid impression.

The guitar intertwining with the keyboards, the sectional shifts, and the striking contrasts between quiet and loud make it a masterpiece.

The pop-leaning vocals against the ensemble are also intriguing.
