Last this morning we close with vinyl and this 1981 album from this British progressive rock band. A concept album, it is based on a true story of a Japanese soldier (Hiroo Onoda) marooned on an island during the Second World War who does not realise that the war is over. The title derives from his family name, 'Onoda'. The album mainly comprises instrumentals; only a few tracks contain lyrics. The lyrics were mainly written by Susan Hoover, except those for "Please Come Home", which were written by Andrew Latimer. It is the last Camel album to date to feature original drummer Andy Ward, and the last to feature more than one original member.
Track listing:
A1. City Life. 5:02
A2. Nude. 0.22
A3 Drafted. 4:18
A4. Docks Written-By – Watkins*. 3:50
A5. Beached. 3:32
A6. Landscapes. 2:36
B1. Changing Places Percussion – Gasper Lawal*. 4:10
B2. Pomp & Circumstance 2:03
B3. Please Come Home Lyrics By – Andrew Latimer. 1:12
B4. Reflections. 2:45
B5. Captured Written-By – Jan Schelhaas. 3:13
B6. The Homecoming. 2:40
B7. Lies. 4:57
B8. The Last Farewell: The Birthday Cake Piano – Jan Schelhaas. 4:05

I would suggest a re-listen, KAOS is especially good, very very mixed with some great musical content and some quite funny bits in it, listen for the fish jokes. Once you know the story behind it then it make more sense.
Pros and Cons - is pretty good IMO with Mr Clapton breaking out from his usual style a doing some excellent guitar work. I believe Waters developed the album as a result of a split with his wife at at the time and and affair.
