Customer Reviews:

70s underground radio classic.......2006-10-08

Count me as another listener who stumbled on this album played in its entirety on FM radio in the middle of the night. After I heard it I took a long walk out through the desert, lived in the rocks like a blue-bellied lizard, then came back as a dancing wizard.

Maybe the best lyrics of any rock album released in the 70s, maybe best ever.

The Melodious Hump Hits The Bullseye.......2006-06-23

Like a lot of college students in the 1970's, your favorite FM station was an oasis of calm, especially while studying for finals. During the fall of 1973, while cramming for exams. I was shaken by this eerie but jazzy sound coming from my radio. So awestruck was I, I had to put my books down and listen to this strange groove. It was Sopwith Camel's "Fazon" from the Miraculous Hump LP. After listening to the song in entirety, I had to buy the album. It was well worth it. Sopwith Camel's blend of jazz, laid back latin and asian influenced rhythms and sardonic lyrics were a pleasant change of pace. It's been one of my favorite albums. I am so glad that it's on CD (way overdue!). For a college kid looking for some "laid back cool", The Miraculous Hump LP hit the target....bullseye!!!!! Thanks for the "cool"

Timeless Music.......2004-04-10

First bought this album in 1975. Have never wearied of it over time. Great content with every track flowing on from the one before. Truly timeless music.

Safe As Milk.......2002-07-24

I once had a very unpleasant dream that Richard Carpenter had become the lead singer with Steely Dan...and made them sound like a watered-down version of Supertramp! This album brings that highly undesirable scenario to life....and consequently what we have here are some pleasant jazzy arrangements and a strange absence of energy which makes Sopwith Camel sound like they were heavily sedated when this music was recorded! If they ever remake the movie "One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest" this would be the ideal straightjacket - I mean soundtrack -...."Nurse - please let me have my Captain Beefheart albums back.....!"
