Oblivion Sun has the following list of bands and musicians that have influenced the band. Maybe interesting to know which of these appear in your collection. I've made mine bold.
Gentle Giant, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Henry Cow, Egg, Gong, Hatfield and the North, Passport, VDGG, Soft Machine, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Genesis, King Crimson, ELP, Trilok Gurtu, Ultraman, Group 87, David Sylvian, Spinal Tap, Yes, UK, David Sancious, Neil Finn, Monty Python, PFM, Frank Zappa, Debussy, King's X, The X-Men, XTC
I must admit that Henry Cow wasn't a real choice for me, but the band was one of the four bands that appeared on the double-album Greasy Truckers Live At Dingwalls Dancehall (1973). I bought it because of Camel's performance; other featured bands are Global Village Trucking Co. and.... Gong.
