New UK remastered CD release for this classic album by the future camel keyboard player. ESOTERIC RECORDINGS are pleased to release a newly re-mastered and expanded edition of the classic 1970 album “THE ANSWER” by the legendary keyboard player and CAMEL member PETER BARDENS. Prior to Bardens joining Andrew Latimer and co. to form CAMEL, he recorded two excellent solo albums for TRANSATLANTIC RECORDS. The first of these was “THE ANSWER”. The album included the side long opus “HOMAGE TO THE GOD OF LIGHT”, later performed by CAMEL in their live sets. The album is expanded with both sides of the only single released by BARDENS’ outfit VILLAGE, a group who also included future ELVIS COSTELLO band member BRUCE THOMAS and lasted just a few months in 1969.
