Product description

The Moody Blues' 1983 release, The Present, is a masterful blend of progressive rock, symphonic rock, and art rock, with hints of blues, baroque pop, and psychedelic rock. This 53-minute album is a testament to the band's innovative spirit and musical prowess.

From the opening notes of 'Blue World' to the final remix of 'Sitting At The Wheel' by Steven Greenberg, The Moody Blues take listeners on a sonic journey through a diverse range of emotions and soundscapes. With tracks like 'Meet Me Halfway', 'Going Nowhere', and 'It's Cold Outside Of Your Heart', the band showcases their ability to craft both melancholic and uplifting songs.

The Moody Blues' signature sound is evident throughout The Present, with intricate instrumentation and poetic lyrics that explore themes of love, introspection, and social commentary. The instrumental 'Hole In The World' and the introspective 'Under My Feet' demonstrate the band's capacity for experimentation and creativity.

Released on 1 January 1983 via UMC (Universal Music Catalogue), The Present is a quintessential album in The Moody Blues' discography, offering a unique blend of styles and moods that will resonate with fans of progressive and symphonic rock. With its thought-provoking lyrics and soaring melodies, The Present is an album that will continue to captivate audiences with its timeless appeal.

This LP was released in 1985.

I've yet to encounter a Moody Blues album that let me down in the sound dept. This one's no exception. This vinyl's no exception either. The mix is fantastic!
