Synopsis

Album Description
2 CD set. After helping lay the groundwork for concept albums and progressive rock with 1967's orchestra-enhanced suite Days Of Future Passed, the Moodies retrenched for the follow-up. They abandoned the orchestra but kept their sound as rich as before by playing a multitude of instruments themselves, including everything from sitar to cello to oboe. At the time, it was remarkable enough for these instruments to appear on a rock record, much less to be played by the band itself. The string-laden conceptual pieces of Days were replaced by shorter, more concise songs that leaned more toward Beatlesque pop and displayed a pronounced Eastern influence. In Search Of The Lost Chord is the most exotic, trippy album in the Moodies' catalog. Polydor. 2006.

CD Reviews

Why has this album been abbreviated
James Beall | Emigrant, MT | 01/19/2010
(3 out of 5 stars)

"I have the {Deluxe Edition} of this album, with two discs. The first disc is the original album, and the second contains 15 hard-to-find tracks. That's 6 more than are offered here. Some of these tracks - notably "Thinking Is The Best Way To Travel (from Top Gear)" with its crisp flute accents - sound more impressive than the original studio version.



If you just wanted the re-masterd album, this is a decent product. If you are more interested in the bonus material, you should be aware that some of it is missing in this offering. That's why I don't give it five stars."
