Geddy Lee: "On it was a beautiful, slow-moving instrumental called "Ice" with one of the most delicate and lovely endings of any song from that progressive music period, featuring one of the truly great guitar solos of the late seventies, played by Andrew Latimer; IMHO it ranks up there with the likes of Clapton and Gilmour."

Well, I love Gary Moore and Pink Floyd/David Gilmour but this is different, although Andy Latimer can sound close to Gilmour sometimes (and he did that on the album Rajaz, at least on one or two tracks). True, the album is different from that, but not bad, it's a mixed bag, with good songs (like Hymn to Her, Who We Are, Eye Of The Storm), and not so great ones (but this was 1979 and i guess they had a bit of pressure to come up with pop songs that would make a good single). Camel always made some instrumental pieces that were maybe stronger than some of their songs.

A pesar de desprenderse del álbum que quizás más se aparta del rock progresivo-sinfónico excelso que hacía Camel (no obstante incluye también la muy disfrutable “Hymn to her”), esta pieza, “Ice”, indudablemente constituye un trabajo tan inspirado como todo el álbum “The Snow Goose” y cualquier otro trabajo de la carrera del grupo que haya sido bendecido por la historia. La guitarra de Latimer a partir del 1:53 es excelsa y el teclado que se incorpora en el 2:55 transporta al escucha a una atmósfera musical muy del estilo de “Shine on you crazy diamond”, a partir de cuyo momento cada nota fluye en el aire como si se conectase por si sola con la inmediata siguiente.
