![[Image: 220px-MoodyBluesLongDistanceVoyager.jpg]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/44/MoodyBluesLongDistanceVoyager.jpg/220px-MoodyBluesLongDistanceVoyager.jpg) MOODY BLUES "long distance voyager" cd/vinyl 1981 a revisit... i lost my vinyl many moons ago but managed to get a copy for a couple of bucks at a market on sunday so was nice to give it a whirl... this was my first album of theirs back in the day as an early teenager and it remains my fave of theirs to this day, obviously i knew and loved "nights in white satin" and their debut single "go now" (with Denny Laine on vocals) but this was my first LP. a masterpiece of songwriting skills IMO and the cover art is just as good with its gatefold sleeve... I LOVE THIS ALBUM

totally agree with your "understated guitar solo" comment Jerome.

Gilmour doing something very different indeed - from Bizet's opera, 'The Pearl Fishers' - stunning track.

I’ve been listening to The Enid’s most recent album, from 2019 – titled U - classic/symphonic rock. I have been under headphones all morning in order to drown out the dreadful noise of the wretched vuvuzela which is quite possibly the most horrible horn ever invented. There’s a big cycle race today and unfortunately, once can hear these things from some distance. Spectators persist in wielding them at sporting events and they are an absolute scourge, IMHO. I think I might have misophonia – the sound really freaks me out! For anyone who doesn’t know what vuvuzelas are (count your lucky stars!) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vuvuzela ... Anway – back to The Enid – I haven’t listened to very much of their catalogue, and saying ‘their’, I’m not sure ‘they’ would exist without Robert John Godfrey who is a bit of a magician. As I found listening previously, some heart achingly lovely work, some bombast, all instrumental (which I never object to).
Can't find single tracks on YT so this is the full album. There's a shorter three minute number "Homily" at the 15 minute mark that's lyrical and not as bombastic as some of the rest - in case anyone cares to listen ...
