MOODY BLUES CD'S

It is sounding a bit repetitive, but the MOFI GAIN2 CD's sound really good & I don'l really like Cds.

The best sounding Moody Blues CD recording I've heard is 1999's largely overlooked "Strange Times".

The production and sound quality overall is superb, the best since "Days of Future Passed", which was conceived and implemented as an audio showpiece in its day. There is a little bit of everything in this recording. Most every cut is very good.

The vocals, particularly Justin Hayward and Ray Thomas', sound as good or perhaps even better than they ever have.

Overall, the collection of songs on this album as a whole may be the best and most accessible musically and lyrically that the Moodies have ever concocted.

Highly recommended for any audiophile who has ever taken any notice of the Moody Blues.

'December' their 'quasi' christmas / (cool winter theme) album released a couple - 3 years ago has amazing sonics as well. I recently bought Octave - remastered CD with Hayward in the room...very impressive, much better then the original . Compares easily (sonically) to my vinyl copy.

Moodies have always been about the music and quality of sound. Good stuff

December is the one Moodies album I don't have.

I need to get it.....

I sold a lot of stereo systems at Lafayette Radio years ago playing Octave on vinyl on various systems when it originally came out. Octave was well recorded as well and had a collection of songs that was not the Moddies best overall, but still a very nice collection of songs, tunes that many could relate to and many had never heard on a decent system.

The lead in to "Stepping in a Slide Zone", the first song on the album, really caught people's attention right out of the gate and led to a lot of sales.

My other secret weapon recording I used a few years later to sell many systems was the Jeff Lynn production of "War of the Worlds". The familiar story, the voice of Richard Burton narrating, and the nicely recorded soundtrack caught peoples attention right away.

When Justin Hayward broke in singing "Forever Autumn", the wallets really opened up!

i bought the remastered question of balance cd and i really do not think from an economic perspective you are going to get much return on purchasing an import.
