Far from their best work. In fact it may be their worst, at least of what I have. Think I even skipped the next few.
Mike Pinder replaced by Patrick Moraz, which does nothing for me. Missing the beautiful orchestral work they are
known for. This is the groups eleventh album. Holds a distinction of being the first compact disc manufactured
worldwide. Three singles released of which Sitting At The Wheel reached the highest at #27, with the album a weak
#26. Nothing I love on here which may be a first for a Moodies album. Highlight for me is the Ray Thomas vocals.
Always liked his the best. Also noticed the absence of Ray's flute work on here. So much missing as compared to
their previous albums. I think I felt cheated when I purchased this one.

Well respected among his peers, hasn't really got much from music buyers. One top 10 album with Carney in 1972 and
one with his 2010 album with Elton John. Plenty of albums in between there of which I think I own none. The only
other album I have is Leon Russell and The Shelter People. Someone here has the Elton duet. Is that CH? Leon was
inducted into the R&R HOF in 2011 based on that long career. Was glad to see Elton give him somewhat of a revival,
although I'm not sure who was reviving who. This is Leons eleventh album, two tracks I love and the cover of When A
Man Loves A Woman that's the throw away for me. Percy owns it. Not sure if any singles were released from here but
the album only reached #115. A bounce back with his next release with Willie Nelson, before the slide began. That
was 1979 and Leon did not touch the cart again until the Elton release. Only one clip available from the entire
album, but at least it's my favorite.
