 (6 Customer Reviews)
The Moodies were a prolific lot in the late '60s. This, the post-Denny Laine lineup's fourth album, was the second to be released in 1969. It was the group's most mature, fully realized effort to date, arguably surpassing even the milestone DAYS OF FUTURE PASSED in its elegance and vision. The Moodies were always capable of both songcraft and experimentalism, but this was the first time they combined them both successfully. Mike Pinder's dramatically arcing mellotron is the perfectly complement to the group's lush vocal harmonies, which are colored by rich acoustic guitar textures.
Things open on a mind-bendingly psychedelic note with the electrical storm of "Higher and Higher," but soon the waters calm. Justin Hayward's brief acoustic ballad "I Never Thought I'd Live to be a Hundred" is among the band's loveliest tunes, and it leads into "Beyond," an ambitious instrumental that is the Moodies at their most progressive. Throughout the album, the mixture of winningly melodic balladry, poignant folk-rock and ambitious prog-rock leanings combine for what is one of the Moody Blues' most satisfying albums.

To Our Children's Children's Children Music To Our Children's Children's Children Music Review Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Music that reminds us of why we dream
Pardon the old-guy reflection here, but I remember playing this album on my tiny turntable alone in my room in high school. The music was the promise of other worlds, a different life, hope. Today, it's not as awe-inspiring, but much is still powerful. The galloping desperation of "Gypsy," the loopy hook-laden "Floating" and the aching beauty of "Watching and Waiting" are still very moving. There's still plenty of promise to our children.

 Children's a Rare Classic
Classic gets over used but this is simply a near perfect album, turn off the lights close your eyes and let the music take you wherever you want. It's that haunting

THE BEST EVER
my absolute favorite moody blues record,
i've been a fan of the moody blues for
"only 26 years" and the range of emotion of there music from the intense
"gypsy" to the dream of "floating" is still as it was all those years ago....
sureal,intense and magical!!!

The Moody Blues would be the Beatles rival in great melodic mainstream fusion ...like no other...they can take you really away and bring you back the same day...!!!

True vintage Moody Blues at its best ... these songs are not their concert regular numbers but are soothing, beautiful, and even at times exciting.

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT "DARK TO DAWN?"Brilliant writing and recording! I love a CD that sounds good no matter where it is played...like in my car!" Dave Byrum"I have listened to my copy of "Dark to Dawn" so many times that my two-year old and my five-year old know the words to the songs! "Misery" and "Can You Feel Anything?" are my two favorites, although it is hard for me to pick because they are all so good. It is one of the few CDs I listen to without skipping over any songs." Stacey Tighe - JSB fan and mother "I like the bluesy rock feel of "Dark to Dawn" and the writing is strong. It is a disc I would put on when romancing a lady friend." Monty Stone - DJ at 91.1 FM The Globe"There are very few CDs I have that I can play from start to finish without skipping over songs - like The Beatles, John Mayer, and The Dave Matthews Band. "Dark To Dawn" falls into this group of talent that I can listen to over and over again. It's awesome to see a truly great group of guys get together and do something awesome like "Dark To Dawn." Jason is a great writer and has a great band in Scott, Shawn, and Ed. How could this CD not sound great?" Eric Burns - JSB fan and friend"Jason is a hidden talent. A hidden talent very much like how Dave Matthews was at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, and Darius Rucker and Hootie and the Blowfish were at the University of South Carolina before they each made it big. All the Jason Sapen Band needs is one good break and they'll make it. These guys are very talented." Digger Phelps - amateur music historian, ESPN college basketball analyst, former Notre Dame basketball coach, and JSB fan"I saw you guys on WNIT on February 1st, 2007. "S.O.S." is some of ...
