  • DAYS OF FUTURE PASSED is the Moody Blues' true contribution to 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.

Uncut (p.120) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he Moodies wrote songs about Timothy Leary and the astral plane, recited sixth-form verse over flutes and sitars, and made concept albums without a concept.....Symphonic."

Well, I was never crazy about the 1997 remasters of the "core 7" period of the Moody Blues music. I listened to the original cd releases next to the '97 remasters, and really found little difference. Now, with the 2008 new remastered classics, the difference is clear! The sound is truly crisp and has a sonic clarity like never before (at least on cd.) I've read all the arguments about the "quad" versions picked for remaster here, but overall, I cannot complain about this new sound. I wish the "Peak Hour" track didn't have the analog crackling after the lyrics are over (at its end.) But, DOFP is a recording that is over 40 years old. Actually, it holds up rather well, all things considered! I love the Moody Blues, and I am so happy that I found a cd version of DOFP that I thoroughly enjoy. Lastly, the bonus tracks are amazing! There are five here from the "Prelude" compilation, a cd of non-album tracks. I'm so glad to have these songs on cd, since "Prelude" has been out of print for some time. I like the other bonus tracks as well. "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" allows us to hear what the Moody Blues sounded like in 1967 in the studio off the cuff

This is the point in music history where white rock stars began to disappear up their own rear ends! The idea that rock stars could also dabble in classical and orchestral arrangements was bound to occur and prog rock was born. Actually this isn't a bad album, very competent musically, but a little too perfect.
