Free Music Notes for On the Threshold of a Dream
Free Music Review: The Title Says it All!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is another Moody Blues masterpiece. it ranks in my eyes right by their ultimate achievement: "To our Children's Children's Children."
Few in my generation have not experienced the magic of this album. Every song on it is gold, and the continuity between the songs is perfect. The blending of classic orchestral instruments and rock and roll instruments is perfection. Every ballad is a work of beauty.
To feel good being seranaded by harmonizing voices blended with rich sonic tapestries is the delight of the Moody Blues that will never become outdated.
Free Music Review: Stunningly good remaster
Hit: 5 Stars
I used to listen to this and other Moody Blues albums on both vinyl and 8-track endlessly in. I *finally* got around to getting the CDs recently and the remaster of this album is STUNNING. I'm always a bit afraid of remastering because often the mix changes to suit the engineers or the artists as they think "it should have been". My opinion of this remaster is that it's a beautiful technology update that doesn't disturb the original music from the 1960's. The master tapes must have been in great shape, this is nearly flawless.
If you liked the Moody Blues back then, the remasters will blow you away.
Free Music Review: On the Threshold of a Masterpiece
Hit: 5 Stars
The Moodies put together a melotron thick album. Have You Heard parts 1 & 2 are worth the price of admission. A preview for the next album which is......Free Music Review: Another Solid Moody Blues Album
Hit: 4 Stars
The band retains the same general formula as the previous two albums (spoken word segments, all songs linked, etc.) But while Days of Future Passed and In Search Of The Lost Chord were groundbreaking, the band comes dangerously close to self-parody here ("Face piles of trials with smiles?????) Still, there are enough great moments here to make this highly recommended. Justin Hayward is here in full force ("Never Comes The Day" and "Are You Sitting Comfortably.") "Dear Diary" is one of Ray Thomas' best. The Lodge songs are fine, and Pinder dominates throughout.
This is probably the last great Moody Blues album, as everything that follows have varying degrees of flaws.
Free Music Review: Rock that sounded like opera
Hit: 5 Stars
I first heard this album when my brothers came back from boarding school in Wisconsin at Xmas '69. In the late '60's this sound from the Moody Blues was extremely "cutting edge". The Beach Boys, Beatles, and even Stones had albums that mixed rock and avant guard "sounds". But this album from the Moody Blues seemed to make classical music "cool". The big sound of the orchestra behind their band was very different not only to a 11yr old, but for listeners in general. Lovely To See You Again & Have You Heard had nothing to do with what was being played on AM radio...and that made it all the more cool. This album still holds up well. Take a listen and try to visualize the last year of the '60's.
