Mirage is the second studio album by the English progressive rock band Camel. Although Camel is not regarded as one of the top prog bands of the seventies, I have always liked them far better than some of the big names like Jethro Tull, ELP and King Crimson. This is arguably their finest album, showcasing Andy Latimer's  flute playing, which became an important characteristic of their sound. On the Prog Archives interactive list of best prog albums of all time, it typically scores around #15.
