4.0 out of 5 stars Good album, December 1, 2005

This review is from: Promise (Audio CD)

This is a very good album, it's very pleasant. I was surprised how crisp and down-to-earth it sounds, production wise. It's actually folk music that's very spiritual and only slightly exsperimental, though often melodic. 'I only want to love you', which may not necessarily be a love song, is my favourite track. His vocals on the song are good and it has a great melody. There's some acoustic gospel tinges on this album and there's a jazzy number (track four). The last three songs (message/seed/promise) are more psycehdelic.

The lyrics are all about Mike's spiritual journey, though some could be interpreted as love songs. None of the songs are bad.

This album is a departure from the Moody Blues "sound". It is not as complex and polished. Consequently, it took me some time to appreciate it. The finale is truly amazing and rivals the best of the early Moody Blues. However, the rest of the album is good if not great. I would recommend it for any fan of the positive and the beautiful!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must hear album (CD), October 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Promise (Audio CD)

I bought this album when it was first relesed in the 70's. It is what the Moody Blues are suppose to sound like. Thoughtfull lyrics, warm string sounds with a touch India. (Sitar, wind instruments). Every song is good while most are great. The song " The Promise" is Mike Pinder in true Moody form. This CD(album) is by far the best solo album from a Moody member. It shows what the Moody Blues are missing in their music today.
