CD Description
DAYS OF FUTURE PASSED is the Moody Blues' true contributionto rock history: the most cohesive integration of rock songs with orchestral music ever produced. Asked by Deram Records to create a rock reworking of Dvorak's "New World" Symphony, the Moodies instead wrote their own symphony, a song cycle that describes the emotions that accompany each part of the day, from dawn ("Dawn Is A Feeling") to night (the classic"Nights In White Satin"). The songs are connected by lush orchestral passages in which the basic musical themes are reworked. Meanwhile, the band had already begun to sound like its own orchestra, using signature Mellotron string sounds, flutes, tympani and multiple vocalists.

Customer Reviews

It Is Finally Here!
This latest edition of "Days Of Future Passed" has to be the last, as it is nearly perfect. The Moody Blues have never been keen on keeping old unused material, so what is presented here is very, very good. Now on SACD, the sound is faultless and the mixing is astounding. Besides the first seven tracks of the original, the second CD contains outtake and alternate versions of pre-"Days Of Future Passes" songs and BBC Sessions that are as solid and pure as a studio recording. This is the sound that will keep you mesmerized for years.

Classic Moodies Remastered
I just received this item after seeing a notice that Universal was remastering the first five Moody Blues albums in Sound and Vision magazine. It was noted that these albums will only be released in the U.K. because the so-called high resolution formats like SACD and DVD-audio were not selling in the U.S. Such a shame because I was only able to obtain these from Amazon UK (at a lower price than Amazon US was offering these). After listening to the surround version I will say that you long time Moody Blues fans will here a remastered version of a classic album. The orchestra will be clearly separated from the band (a good thing) and the bass is more defined. The meticulous studio techniques that this band was known for is evident here. The band sounds fabulous considering these are recordings approaching 40 years old! The second disc offers other versions of selected tracks from the album and that era but make no mistake that the high resolution remastering is what you are paying for. After hearing the different audio improvements we have been offered over time, half-speed mastered to CD and now SACD and DVD-audio, you fans with the proper set up- what are you waiting for? The difference is often amazing.

past days brought into the future
After being a Moody fan for nearly 40 years I thought I had heard it all then along comes this wonderful compilation. I had never heard the version of Dont let me be misunderstood before and I think the whole reason for buying a duplicate version of an album I already have a few copies of was well worth it just for this track.
