It's Breathless (1978) a controversial album. In general, he is not a saint of devotion of many progressive lovers or most Camel fans. Consider that the album follows the great "The Snow Goose", "Moonmadness" and "Rain Dances", so it appears somewhat dull to many ears, but with everything and that can not be denied that it has very salvageable pieces and high quality . This time we repeat, in the recording, the formation of his previous work although Peter Bardens ends his career here with Camel. In fact, the last track, Rainbow’s end, is already played on the keyboard by David Sinclair. During the tour to present the album, for the first time we found six components of Camel instead of the original five: outside the group's Bardens, we have Andy Latimer, Andy Ward, Mel Collins, Richard Sinclair, his cousin David Sinclair and Jan Schelhaas , incorporated the latter for the tour.
The album contains memorable moments such as the intense and complex Echoes, the progressive jazz Wing and a prayer, the pastoral and delicious Starlight ride, the rhythmic and exciting Summer lightning with one of Andy Latimer's best guitar solos and one of the most spectacular of the history of rock, or the dynamic and progressive The Sleeper.
In short, an elegant and high quality album, with progressive fragments of great value always full of sensitivity and the special touch that Latimer knows how to put into everything he does.
