The Moody Blues produced two studio albums in 1969: this is the first and was also the last that was issued on the Deram label. It is program music in the sense that the tracks run one into the next without a definite end. The final strains were recorded into the run-out track so that if the stylus was not lifted the music never ends!
There is also a loose thematic concept running through the album. There are suggestions of the dream like quality of life with psychedelic overtones. The first few tracks start cheerfully enough but the atmosphere becomes increasingly introspective as the album proceeds. Many of the arrangements are complex and the sounds experimental and adventurous for the day. This album needs to be listened to in its entirety and may need several plays for its full impact to be felt.
The line up includes: Justin Hayward, John Lodge, Mike Pinder, Graeme Edge, Ray Thomas. The album cover is a bizarre painting by Phil Travers. The inner sleeve includes portraits of the group as well as their producer, Tony Clarke.
