I Can See Your House from Here (Audio CD)

Customer Review

CAMEL to move on their 79er Output I CAN SEE YOUR HOUSE FROM HERE similar already on BREATHLESS somewhere in the intersection of Progressive Rock and Pop.

The album starts off promising with the swing and punchy opener "Wait". The brisk Moog and guitar solos make easy mood.
With "Your Love Is Stranger Than Mine" follows the single release. A very music in pop style piece, quite acceptable but not really earth-shattering.
The instrumental "Eye Of The Storm" looks unfortunately somewhat bloodless and uninspired.
The 7-minute film "Who We Are" sounds in the first half with his melancholic flair for classical CAMEL earlier days, but towards the end always more pop and repetitive.
With only the orchestra rehearsed, short, Instumentalstück "Survival" is the (former) first page of the LP a very neat completion.
"Hymn To Her", although again failed quite trendy, confident with a fine guitar work and enjoys a typical CAMEL atmosphere.
A little down it goes then again with "Neon Magic". The pacing quite fast and well equipped with some instrumental parts, the spark will (at least for me) not really skip. Just come somehow banal and (again) poppig therefore.
"Remote Romance" represents the nadir. In pandering to the spirit of the times to try to CAMEL disco sounds. And that does not even halfway skillfully. For me one of the weakest songs throughout the CAMEL discography.
But what the album closes, saves as a whole and alone justifies the purchase, entitled "Ice". A 10-minute instrumental piece. Very spherical and atmospheric incredibly dense, can be found here Latimer's unique, very emotional guitar playing in its full glory heard. Simply amazing!

The original album was going to get from me 3 stars.

Now the next edition.
Purchase incentive for many could be the bonus tracks.
"Your Love Is Stranger Than Mine" sounds in the single version is not much different than the original, but is for completists certainly interesting.
In "Ice" is a sonically perfect live recording from 1981. With 7:15 minutes, the piece was indeed time something presented compressed, but it comes in the direct effect and represents an interesting alternative to the original version for me is ,

The 16-page booklet I find - as with the new edition of BREATHLESS - very well done. In addition to some band photos there are of Mark Powell a brief outline of the band formation and credit history in general and background information on I CAN SEE YOUR HOUSE FROM HERE to read in particular. A real improvement to previous CD editions so.

For Remastering: I like better than to BREATHLESS. The highs sound here not as dominant or partly even shrill. The transparency of sound was like there also improved somewhat. Unfortunately, however, the dynamics of the sound has suffered somewhat in the revision here. Good example audible on "Wait", where the drums simply no longer exert their usual force.

Conclusion:
Original Album 3 stars
Bonus Tracks 4 stars
Booklet 5 stars
Remastering 3 stars

Power in the sum of 4 stars. ****
