Camera Camera (1981)

"The music presented here by the much-loved Annie Haslam and crew is very much of a 'New-Wave' 80's creation, but in all fairness, the music is still firmly prog-rock (kind of on-par with Camel's 'Nude' album from the same time). The production is crisp, with the overall mix well balanced, with emphasis on Jon Camp's busy (and often complicated) bass-lines, the drumming is pretty good, the keyboards are quite dominant and well played and Michael Dunford plays more electric guitar this time around. The compositions themselves, in particular the longer tunes, maintain the quality of earlier material, maybe with harsher tones, complete with complex instrumental passages and tempo changes, and Annie in exceptionally fine form - stretching her vocal chords as far as they can go, whilst the remaining tracks could be considered prog-pop. A few are quite commercial but pleasant." (Tom Ozric, Progarchives)
