Reviews Customer Reviews for Days Of Future Passed      Awesome album      Rating:      I love this band and this album proves that they are one of the best bands of our time. My favorite song, "Question", is one of the massive hits on this album. What I thought was great was there was music from the original singer of the Moody Blues - my husband was disappointed that there wasn't more of his songs, but he really likes the album. This is the Moody Blues album to buy if you're a real fan.     Customer Reviews for Days Of Future Passed Cd      A long-overdue upgrade      Rating:      Okay, so it's not the grand double disc set that's available from the U.K., but it is a long-overdue upgrade on the domestic front. And if you already own "Prelude" and are planning to buy "Live at the BBC", then the U.S. upgrades of "Days" through "Every Good Boy" will do just fine. To begin with, I was blown away by the sound quality, but buyer should also know that the re-mix has some differences, so you might want to hold on to your originals. It does, however, open us up to a whole new world of possibilities of how this album might have sounded like in the first place. In the booklet it states that the purpose of Decca Records bringing the new Deram imprint was to give the rock bands' stereo recordings more depth. (If this were true, why wasn't Procol Harum's first album given this treatment?) Having injected that question, we can now move on... First off, MB fans everywhere know the pitfalls and failures of the new line-up from late 1966. We are also familiar with how this album came to fruition. The bonus tracks are not new to a lot of us, i.e. the first three singles. Missing from the bonus cuts however, is the 45 version of "Nights in White Satin", although the BBC chestnut "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" is included. Imperfect though it may be, it's a great run through with Justin taking lead vocal and Ray doing an equally great job of holding the whole thing together on the interludes. The alternate mixes of "Tuesday", "Dawn", "Sun Set" and "Twilight Time" are exceptional as well as the original album cycle. Can't wait to hear the rest in this series. What I'm most grateful for, is the time and energy spent by Justin and all to see to it that these new remasters were done with the highest integrety. Great work, guys!! Editorial Reviews for Days Of Future Passed Audio Cd      Amazon.com      The Moody Blues' second album was also their first of what would be a succession of "concept" albums. Inspired by the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper and utilizing the London Festival Orchestra primarily for epic instrumental interludes between songs, Days of Future Passed moved the Birmingham band away from its early R&B roots (as displayed on its debut album with soon-to-depart future Wings member Denny Laine) into uncharted rock territory, making them the early pioneers of both classical and progressive rock. The concept of the 1967 release was very simple, tracing a day in the life from dawn to night, from awakening to sleep. The seven tracks spawned two hit singles--"Tuesday Afternoon" and "Nights in White Satin" (which hit No. 2 four years after the LP's original release) and a prog-rock cottage industry. --Bill Holdship
