yes, there was a time in life back at the early 80s when I was young, free and had the time to hear this type of music because somebody in the world made it, and made a world of difference with it... then some years ago Camel passed through Caracas and I just had to see it, because deep in my heart I thought Latimer could not reproduce that magical guitar sound live..was I wrong!!!

I must say I write this review to the younger souls who are exploring Camel.. this is an excellent record, back in those days we had the german vinyl edition... the battery work still is fresh on my memory.. this was the kind of holistic work that does not make much sense in fragmentating, as you would not do it with a simphony.. yes, the vocals are kind of weak, but that does not impede the unfolding of a marvelous story...

I have been a Camel fan forever, yet some reviews make me think as to why this album is so unique.. it is unique, period, and its a collectors item.. somehow I feel envious of those who are about to listen to it.. enjoy

O The City Life. One of the coolest songs of the early 1980's. Nude is a very misleading title. It actually is a person's name!

A concept album from an English band was fairly common back then. Even an historical one that takes place within the throes of World War II. Nicely produced, well connected songs. It's one of those CD's that makes you pay attention. Not many bands bother doing this type of music anymore, with the exception of Dream Theater and the most recent Green Day album.
Hey Amazon, I had to search hard and finally ended up buying the CD from Ebay. Please get NUDE into your warehouse. It's from London Records, # 810 880-2. I recommend this, everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not your typical pseudo-prog 80s album., June 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: NUDE (Audio CD)

By 1981 you'd expect there to be no more sweeping epic symphonic concept albums. Well, somehow in between two of the weakest Camel albums this gem pops up. Mostly instrumental, it covers a variety of music styles (blues, world music) in a seamless fashion along with the characteristically Camel very melodic easy going symphonic style.
