What Are You Listening To?

[Mrrusty1]

On the cd version there are alternative versions of a simple game one with mike pinder on vocals and the other with justin hayward

from my library (vinyl)



The Moodies third album and firmly on the path that they are best known for. Along with the album covers which were
some of the best being done at the time. They always opened up into a double wide, suitable for framing. This is a
concept album about the search for spirituality or some such crap. I never could grasp that stuff. Not spirituality,
concept albums. They were always just songs for me. Very good ones here, loving six of the eleven tracks and nothing
I don't like. Full of the beautiful harmonies, trading off for lead. Everybody got involved with the Moodies. Two
singles came off here, Ride My See-Saw and Voices In The Sky, neither doing that well. The album had a #5 showing in
the UK, but the US was slower to catch on with only a #23 for this one. It would be a few years for the Moodies to
peak here. Stupid americans.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - House Of Four Doors (Part 2)

Best Track - The Best Way To Travel

And you can fly
High as a kite if you want to
Faster than light if you want to
Speeding through the universe
Thinking is the best way to travel

It's all a dream
Light passing by on the screen
And there's you and I on the beam
Speeding through the universe
Thinking is the best way to travel

We ride the waves
Distance is gone, will we find out?
How life bean, will be find out?
Speeding through the universe
Thinking is the best way to travel

And you can fly
High as a kite if you want to
Faster than light if you want to
Speeding through the universe
Thinking is the best way to travel
