Moonmadness is the fourth studio album by English progressive rock band Camel. It was released in March 1976 on Decca and Gama Records and is their last album recorded by the group's original line-up of Andrew Latimer, Peter Bardens, Doug Ferguson, and Andy Ward. After reaching success with their previous album, the all instrumental The Snow Goose, the band started on a follow-up and incorporated vocals and lyrics to the new music. Moonmadness has a loose concept with one track based on the personality of each band member.
Vinyl repress of Camel’s Moonmadness, voted 23 in a list of “40 Cosmic Rock Albums” chosen by Q & Mojo (‘Pink Floyd & The Story of Prog Rock’ special edition).
Coming after the instrumental The Snow Goose album Camel re-introduced lyrics and traditional song-structures moving towards a more traditional English progressive rock sound with occasional jazz-fusion flourishes.
