Mirage is Camel's second album, released in 1974. Their self-titled debut Camel came before this one in 1973, and The Snow Goose came after it in 1975.
Mirage is one of the group's most remembered albums.[citation needed] It features their most well known song, Lady Fantasy and is also a showplace for Andrew Latimer's flute, notably on "Supertwister".
There are only 5 tracks on this record, two over 9 minutes. Those two are multi-part epics: Lady Fantasy and Nimrodel/The Procession/The White Rider, the latter being about The Lord of the Rings. It was released on Deram Records.
