A new, larger version of Camel debuted on Nude, a concept album about a Japanese soldier stranded on a deserted island during World War II and staying there, oblivious to the outside world, for 29 years. More ambitious than the preceding I Can See Your House from Here, Nude is in many ways just as impressive.

On Nude, they are joined by a large cast of studio musicians and bassist Colin Bass, who had played on I Can See Your House from Here (1979). All in all, this is a pretty good album by the group and one of the best Camel albums from the 1980s; the live version of Nude from On the Road (1981) is also very good and a lot more energetic. For those folks new to the group, start with The Snow Goose (1975).
