Moody Blues
'In Search Of The Lost Chord'
Deram, UK, 1968
SML 711
THIRD ALBUM from these much loved and hugely respected art rock pioneers. By now, the band had fully embraced a unique compositional style encompassing heavily orchestrated progressive rock and beautiful easy to hum melodies best exemplified by the single 'Ride My See-Saw' and 'Legend Of A Mind' (written about LSD guru Timothy Leary). Forceful and compelling the production (by Tony Clarke) is both adventurous and complex with added sound effects including tablas, flutes, mellotron, orchestral vigenettes, spoken word passages (written by Graham Edge but spoken by Mike Pinder) all presented in warm panoramic audio. Man of the match? Well, it just has to be vocalist and band leader Justin Hayward who's rich, creamy vocal never sounded so good.
One of the great late sixties progressive psych milestones - every home should have one.
Beautiful copy.
