In Search Of The Lost Chord buy CD music Description

2008 reissue of In Search of the Lost Chord,originally released in 1968, which was the third album by The Moody Blues, and the second to feature Justin Hayward and John Lodge.This reissue features 21 tracks with the 12 originals plus the 9 bonus tracks. The album may be considered a concept album because several of the tracks deal with the theme of a person's search for spiritual fulfillment. Another concept dealt with in the album is the search for a mythical "lost chord," which is revealed to be the mantra "Om" (in the last stanza of Graeme Edge's poem "The Word"). The album peaked at #23 U.S. album charts and in the UK reached #5.

Better than the old LP
I had this album long ago and enjoyed it so much it got very scratched. The cd is free of vinyl defects and should last many more years. Immense nostalgia!

Brilliant!
In Search Of The Lost Chord album for sale One of their better projects of that time. Brilliant! ... Had the LP, bought the cassette and then the cd. ... Excellent choice for any Moody Fan. It will take you beyond your wildest dreams. ... Money well spent over, and over, and over. ... Turn the lamps down, light the candles, put the head phones on and take the journey. This will make the MOOD!

Magnificent Moodies
In Search Of The Lost Chord CD music OK! I know I lifted the headline of this review from an earlier MB album title, but who can deny its relevance to "In Search... "? In Search Of The Lost Chord buy CD music Arguably their best, given later albums thats pretty high praise, but "In Search... " was a ground shattering demonstration of psych at its grandest and most charming. Wonderful musicianship, lyrics, production. "House... " still gives me a shiver, and I bought the flat black when it was first released decades ago. I love it.

Great Sound but missing the 5.1
As everyone else has mentioned, It is disappointing that the 5.1 decoding is missing,but it is the absolute best that this album has ever sounded. I bought it without really reading the reviews on it. And I was going crazy just this side of re- wiring my whole system trying to figure out why my SACD player was only picking up only SACD stereo. But it still sounds Great, regardless.

Good follow-up, one which defined the Moody Blues for decade
This album continues the innovation and experimentation of Days Of Future Passed, and takes it to a whole new level. Instead of using the orchestra, they used their now-trademark Mellotron and a slew of instruments, both traditional rocknroll and exotic, even indian, instruments. And, it provided a new way to view the Moody Blues at the time, which was a good thing, because if they completely stayed with the sound on Days Of Future Passed, they would have to lug an orchestra around for the rest of their days. As for the music, its a little more basic, a little more rock-oriented, and its been flavored with Indian influences, but it is still a great record. If you like the Moody Blues of the Seventies, this is an album that is an obvious one to get.
