The Moody Blues: Mike Pinder, Justin Hayward, Ray Thomas, John Lodge, Graeme Edge. Additional personnel: Pete Jackson (triangle). Includes liner notes by David Lymonds and Lionel Bart. Where this album's predecessor IN SEARCH OF THE LOST CHORD dipped deeply into Eastern-flavored psychedelia, THRESHOLD is more of a straightforward rock record. Things open up experimentally enough, with a spoken-word vignette over electronic drones, but this leads straight into one of the Moodies' poppiest, most up-tempo songs, \"Lovely to see You,\" which would remain a concert favorite for decades. Even notoriously theatrical flautist\/vocalist Ray Thomas keeps his eccentricities in check on his effective ballad \"Dear Diary.\" Keyboardist Mike Pinder takes a surprisingly lascivious vocal turn on the anomalous, leering rocker \"So Deep Within You.\" Justin Hayward provides the lion's share of ear-tickling moments with pretty folk-rock tunes such as \"Never Comes the Day\" and \"Are you Sitting Comfortably,\" while the most adventurous piece \"Have you Heard\/The Voyage\" extends over three discrete tracks, featuring complex instrumental passages and lush harmonies. THRESHOLD doesn't come off as an attempt to cater to the mainstream, it's just a more song-based, less exotic recording than its predecessors.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 7\/27\/2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Moody Blues","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42908536406067,"sku":"2Q2H4E-TDNW-O6","price":35.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/8854\/9171\/files\/moody-blues-on-the-threshold-of-a-dream-lp_4dM8F.jpg?v=1740233143","url":"https:\/\/vinyllairrecords.com\/products\/moody-blues-on-the-threshold-of-a-dream-lp","provider":"Vinyl Lair Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
