Although Stationary Traveller is a concept album, it musically falls into line with its predecessor

The Single Factor, which found Camel trying to refashion themselves as the Alan Parsons Project.

Where The Single Factor suffered from Camel's attempts to write pop hooks, Stationary Traveller finds

the band breaking down the barriers, opening up their relatively concise songs with long, atmospheric

instrumental passages. The album's lyrics, which were written by Susan Hoover, is about the divided

Berlin and its political, emotional and physical divides. Often, the lyrics and music -- which work

as individual entities -- don't quite work together, since they follow different emotional

directions, yet the record remains a worthwhile listen, especially since it features Andy Latimer on

pan flute.
