Moody Blues - Children of the Ever Guiding Light (fantasy mid-70s LP)

An attempt to construct a mid-70s Moodies LP, complete with Tony Clarke style cross fades. To be clear, this is all in fun. I'm just pretending this is a mid-70s Moodies LP. Not a big fan of the solo releases as whole albums, so this is a fun way to listen to the tracks I like. If you like it too, that's great!

The Moody Blues made music that glides between space and time, lifting us into the pastures of the sun and putting our souls to flight. I am deeply grateful to be born in the 1950s at a time when magic and mystery enriched our minds and music rocked us like a mother 💐

[@vinnynj78]

Born in '78 and had a similar experience. I grew up listening to the music my parents and grandparents listened to and I wouldn't have it any other way.

It doesn't matter how you feel about the Moodies solo output because all of there material is full of greatness and creativity.

[@samuelmatz]

Amem. All were special artists.

[@randallgenshaw6724]

They're dying off...no last tours like the miscreants KISS.

I'm familiar with all of this work, thank you, I've been spending a lot of time on those for incredible records they made in and around the mid-60s lately. Like, in search of the Lost Chord record.

That's because it's not a real album. The person on You Tube who posted made it up.

This is the most beautiful Moody Blues song and a precursor to “In my word” on the voyager Al bum. Remember, my friend? The “IAM”, it is the real you, the godhead within you. Keep it front and center.

Lovely artwork, very reminiscent of many of their albums. Good work.

[@ddarkshark]

the artwork was lifted from Ray Thomas' second solo album, same artist who painted many early Moodies albums....us painters get no recognition at all...ever.

[@JoanVioletStretch]

Love the cover, reminds me of a venue Ive seen Justin Hayward and his solo band live at a theatre that overlooks such a scene including the sunset, tall ship and lighthouse...love the Blue Jays tracks and Justin's solo pieces.

[@Moodie111]

The cover is a modification of Ray Thomas's 'Hopes, Wishes & Dreams' album cover.

[@drogers1287]

Thank you for including the Ray Thomas tunes!!! I have enjoyed your other mid-70s compilation, the Promise. Wasn't that the name of Mike Pinder's solo album??? Waiting for your next compilation with You (blue jays), Forever Autumn (War of the Worlds), Maybe (blue jays). Again, thank you!!!

[@GP9railfan]

This “album” has a post-Octave album vibe to it. 1979/80-ish. Nice job!

[@designerlarry]

This still sounds like a compilation of moodies solo music. There's a clear distinction between solo group composition.

[@AndroidCollective]

hahahaha ! Got me too: it's just the kind of album artwork that they used in albums such as Seventh Sojourn and others ! hahahahah !

[@siriusoliveira5219]

Não conhecia esse LP, aliás, alguns sons dentro dele, sim, conheço. Não me cansa ouvi-los

[@jameskovic7146]

This entire album is a lead in to the “Voyager” album. Hands down!!!

[@jameslujack1717]

Oh,!

[@johnries5593]

The one Mike track appears to be a precursor to “One Step Into the Light” (the next to last track on “Octave”).

[@grizzpin]

I have also often wondered how a mid-70s Moodies album, following Seventh Sojourn, might have sounded - in other words if the band hadn't split up for a while. There are quite a few tracks from their solo projects that sound like the full band, complete with mellotron/chamberlin intrumentation and classic Moodies-style arrangements. However, with the exception of "One Lonely Room", and possibly also "Marie", I would not have included any of the songs on this compilation. There are other stronger songs, more representative of their "core 7" era style. The fantasy album, called "The Lost Album" is a better attempt. Sorry. (This should not discourage you from trying again with a better selection).

[@jameslujack1717]

Can't find a copy of my own...not on amazon.thanks for posting.Generally I feel people are unable/unwilling to devote effort to dig this music...it's very interesting 😎🆒.

[@jameslujack1717]

The Moody Blues remain heavy😢.

[@elifoust7664]

Genuine

[@Moodyblues99]

I think the best Moodies album would have come out in the mid 70's if they stayed together. If you take the best 1 or 2 songs off each solo album, throw in Blue Guitar and you have a classic.

[@barrybasham6578]

i sure miss the veteran cosmic rocker

[@arichison]

Great 😂

[@davidwoodhead7736]

If I were to compose an album of my favorite Moody Blues album tracks, I feel it would be a bit more up tempo (not complaining about this content) than this, it seems to be a bit melancholy ....... great if you're in the right mood

[@jameskovic7146]

This song made me cry because it reminded me of when in 2004 after an acupuncture treatment, give or take a week or so, I was mowing the lawn and I found my dearest friend….my sou, my higher self. The cornerstone and beginning of my own spiritual journey. Thank you Justin and all of you past on or still hanging in there for this precious gift. As I text this I’m learning this on my guitar and will cover it leading into that other gem, “In my world”. What a way to start a Sunday. Praise Yeshua Ben Joseph (Jesus our Elder brother divine guide of those of us on Gaia. Did you know that he composed many a song and had an awesome voice. Read Claire Heartsing’s “Anna: Grandmother of Jesus”. What the church never disclosed to you about our precious teacher, Essene Teacher who did survive the cross with the help of his fellow essenes who nursed him back to health. He as well as you and I and everyone IS ETERNAL!!! Don’t you ever doubt it for an instant!.

[@jameskovic7146]

And wouldn’t you know, damnit if it didn’t happen again. “Walking on this Earth finding you…….” Oh so powerful. How this song puts me in touch with my only lover ever…….my soul my higher self. Don’t ever let an experience like this (you’ll know) be mistaken for romance because at that moment it’s dead on arrival. Hold it tight and then if you’re unsure ask God or Jesus or Kuan-Yin. Don’t share this with anybody but God or someone like Jesus or Kuan-Yin who know exactly how to guide you and if you listen in the quiet of your mind you will feel them take your hand. Please, for the sake of your very eternal like listen to what I say. Or not and be on the wise council of your freedom of choice.

Mellotronless. Sad. Sorry but this is not and does not sound like Core 7 Moodies. Good try but Moodies fans are not that easy to fool. Nice solo songs and a healthy sprinkle of superb Bluejays tunes. Thanks for posting.

[@beatcrazy180]

Not trying to fool anybody. In fact I figured everybody would absolutely get it. I didn't realize there were such uptight Moodies fans out there. Damn, I love these Fantasy 70s LPs. I'm gonna listen again RIGHT NOW! WOOO!!!

This is not a Moody Blues recording. It doesn't even come close to there sound. How can you get away with calling it Moody Blues? Why what's the point?

[@beatcrazy180]

Three things: First: "Their" sound. Second: I know it's not a Moody Blues recording. Look up the word "fantasy". Third: Not sure how I got away with it, but somehow I did. Wanna call a cop?

beat crazy-you shouldn't tamper with other artist's work. create your own music or go away=what your doing is with your 'fantasy' is really a ''travesty' --just because you 'got away with it' doesn't mean it isn't artistically fucking wrong to impose your silly fantasies on the creative efforts and accomplishments of the Moodies or any body. i think your video is beyond weak...........................................you just don't fucking get it.
