I was just thinking that. "In ancient times, hundreds of years before the dawn of history, an ancient race of people... the Druids. No one knows who they were or what they were doing..."

Great Song.  Wish Bill would play more songs from this album though and not just this one.

taken out of context from the "suite", it's kinda dopey and dated (IMHO)

Dreamy genius.
I always wondered how the Moodies got so trippy. They always seemd so straight, dapper and collegiate.

Saw the Moodys a month or so back at the new Fox Theater in Oakland. The first half was a little slow, but they got some energy going in the second half and it was pretty cool.

Oh Bill, what a seamless segue ... from Ludovico Einaudi—Divenire to this Moody Blues—Evening/Twighlight Time.   {#Meditate}

Thank you!!

One of my first introductions to LSD was listening to Moody Blues with headphones on.  Oh so blissful and colorful!!

Moody rocks!  If you get to see them in concert, it's highly recommended. Where else can you see a bunch of 60's Dungeon & Dragons nerds rock out—in their late 60's!!   Awesome experience.

If you haven't sat back with Days of Future Passed on the stereo (huge headphones, of course), take 45 mintutes of your busy life and listen to this album beginning to end. Disney-on-acid my ass. You don't even need the acid.

I was of that period, and it was/is one of the best of the era—and still is my "anchor" music when I need to get grounded again—, when music was a concept from beginning to end. It was sooooo hard to get up and turn over the album after you were already half way through the universe, courtesy of the Moodies in their unique way. People who poo-poo the Moodies as effete, or whatever complaint they have, just don't know what WE know—and that's just fine.

Walt was reputed to enjoy an altered state of conciousness on occasion.  It seems fairly obvious.  Fantasia on acid is still quite an experience.  Regardless,  great song.

Yeah. My folks liked this when I was a kid also. It's still pretty music. The cover art is hideous.

i definitely thought of spinal tap but it was this scene that came to mind:

“This pretentious ponderous collection of religious rock psalms is enough to prompt the question: “What day did the Lord create Spinal Tap and couldn’t he have rested on that day too?”

Around the time In Search of the Lost Chord was released, some wag from Rolling Stone suggested that the Moodies dump the mellotrons, let Lodge and Hayward write all the songs, and play some decent rock'n'roll. I got a chuckle out of that, and even tho' I enjoyed Days of Future Passed, it was a bit over the top. I regarded them curiously until I saw them (dragged by a girl friend who adored Days) at Fillmore West in, I think, early '68. I'm not sure I've seen or heard a tighter band since. Awesome chops. Hayward was ferocious on his Telecaster. Hard not to be floored even if Ray Thomas sang off key all night...

This stuff was years ahead of it's time when it came out.My bet is that your young(that's relative)and your comparing this to current and not to distant prog-rock.

I've bought some of the Moodies SACDs in 5.1 surround.
Very nice if you're a fan of the band. Some outtakes included also.

There has got to be some Clear Channeled classic rock station you could listen to, and not be bothered with the deeper tracks the rest of us like to listen to.

This album still sounds great 40 years (!) later.

Walked by Radio City Music Hall last fall and saw they were playing. I grew up with them in the 70's but never thought much about them since. That night, a friend said he needed to sell 2 tix to see them, so I went for it.

What a great performance. Still captivating in concert. Totally enthralled. Great female flute player.
