GARAGE BAND LISTENERS' REVIEWS

EMPTY

Funky!!!
Love the Funky feel on this track all set up by the guitar and everything falls into place. From the get go, a great guitar jam and excellent vocal stylings makes this song a hit in my book!!

TheMightyThor from Cape Canaveral, Florida

FUNK TO SAVE MY SOUL

This is some jammin' funk music. Musicians are tight, the bassist is SICK SICK SICK good. The rhythm section as a unit is a formidable piece. Guitarist is tight. The sound overall is kind of reminiscent of a band called Marvelous Sauce out of Canada in the early 90s. Funny. Nice scat singing, vocalist. This is a level of musicianship and production that you don't often hear on Garageband, and even more rarely on the radio. Nicely done...The only thing that sucks about this song is that it ends.

Ghostrunner from Amherst, New York

DO IT
I can't stop bobbing my head!!!!
DAMN....The bass groovin' beat is SWEET! I really like the Trent Reznor touch to this song. The beat throughout this song really drives the listener into a frenzied state of mind! The vocals mix it up just enough to demand the audiences FULL ATTENTION. The subtle guitar nuances really add an extra layer to the song. I have to listen to this one more time.....DAMN....I think the mix/production for this song is perfect! Everything comes through nice and clear!

UNDERSTAND

Jump to the front of the line. Have your ID ready.
These guys sound great. The high end treble electric guitars and the deep vocals along with the dark drum track makes this song a radio must(a little like Johnny Van Zant and .38 Special). Its a very cool song and would listen to it again and again. "Follow Me" is best described as a Southern Rock song along the lines of The Outlaws and Allman Brothers.

ILLEGAL KISS
What a great Get Down Sound.
Had me worried for a second... thought you may be hip hop with that intro... really kicks! the production kiks and that Spanish guitar comes outta nowhere and WORKS! Great production.

Description: Elegant Camel will attempt to bring you a taste of desert inspired, experimental grooves. Recommended if you like Pink Floyd, Faithless & Madonna mixed up together in a brilliant production. Album with a great sound which has a good unique quality.
Biography: Welcome to the Elegant Camel. Elegant Camel is the brainchild of musician and sound architect, Itay Swissa (Swisound). Elegant Camel will attempt to bring you a taste of desert inspired, experimental grooves. Of course we have a message, both social and political, but we'll keep it to ourselves and not bore you with it. Instead we've laid down some smooth, sexy tracks; Something to listen to while on the road, on rainy days or in those intimate moments that call for something smoky and soothing. Enjoy, and thanks for listening.

The Camels: The Original Camel: Itay Swissa was born in Israel in the town of Dimona. Itay comes from a musical family and now continues the tradition with this, his debut album: "Lost in my own Mind". At the present Itay works as a sound designer and musician at "Shapa" studios in Ramat Aviv, Israel. The American Camel: Z. Fohrman was born in the USA but has lived in Israel for most of his life. He works a voice artist and a writer. For the most part Z. likes to rant and rave about social imbalances and injustices, but has agreed to keep his big mouth shut for the duration of this project. The British Camel: Emily Bennett, is a talented singer, violinist and sitar player from Britain. She currently lives and works in Israel, performing with Amiram Inc. Without a doubt, this flame haired British beauty is the one who puts the elegant in Elegant Camel.

Recommended if you like Pink Floyd, Faithless & Madonna mixed up together in a brilliant production. Album with a great sound which has a good unique quality.

Elegant Camel - 'Lost In My Own Mind' debut album, brilliant production with a great sound which have a good unique quality.

(1888PressRelease) November 11, 2009 - Elegant Camel will attempt to bring you a taste of desert inspired, experimental grooves. Recommended if you like Pink Floyd, Faithless & Madonna mixed up together in a brilliant production. Album with a great sound which have a good unique quality.

In essence, Elegant Camel is a fusion of Electro/Ambient style tracks combined with freestyle lyrics and vocals. While some lyrics are pre written, most are a free flowing stream of consciousness improvised on the spot.

Symbolizing the Band is the camel himself. The camel is a true son of the desert. He's seen it all, been everywhere, done everything and has found an almost Zen like balance within.

Imagine if you will a camel traveling the universe and dimensions, both physical and emotional and sending back impressions of what it is he sees...a galactic hitchhiking camel.
