5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic Sound Is Even Better!, May 29, 2004

This classic album was the last the Moody Blues performed together before they temporarily split in 1972. Later in 1978, Mike Pinder rejoined the group for the uneven album, "Octave", before he left forever. This collection on DTS surpasses all other recordings in sound quality and depth. Guitars barely heard before stand out and the percussion is spread about with distinct clarity. Even the vocals are clearly separated but keeping the harmony. The only other album the Moody Blues put on DTS is, "Days Of Future Passed" and they both sound like brand new recordings. For those who never heard DTS surround sound, it is an event. These sound systems are fairly low priced now. I hope it's not too long before the entire Moody Blues series is released on DTS.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Remix, January 4, 2003

By	Kenneth Anselmi (New York) - See all my reviews

This is the last of the Moodies great albums. Alot of acoustic and electric guitars from the brilliant Justin Hayward. Great piano and mellotron playing from Mike Pinder. They became victims of bad 80's production, (cheesy, dated synthesizers, bad drum sounds, etc.), when they regrouped years later. This mix for 5.1 surround sound is excellent. The instruments and vocals are seperated beautifully. There are subtle differences in the mix, louder guitar parts, for example. Justin Hayward contributes 3 great songs. "You & Me" and "New Horizons" are amoung the best he's ever written. "You & Me", an uptempo rocker, was co-written with the drummer, Graeme Edge. "Land of Make-Believe" is a gem. Mike Pinder's "When You're A Free Man" is a hauntingly powerful song with great guitar work from Hayward. His openning track, "Lost in a Lost World", sets the mood for the lp. John Lodge contributes the 2 hits off the album, "Singer in a R-N-R Band" and "Isn't Life Strange". Two rocking and uplifting numbers. The latter is the best version of this song. "Strange" was rerecorded, not remixed, in the 80's along with "Question" with horrific results. Ray Thomas adds the lovely sea shanty, "For My Lady". It's not a very generous album, only 8 songs. But, along with "To Our Children's Children's Children", "On The Threshold of a Dream" and "Question of Balance" it's one of their best.

5.0 out of 5 stars ABSOLUTELY STUNNING, August 28, 2004

By	E. R Wilson "ernie wilson" (Grass Valley, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Seventh Sojourn has always been my favorite Moody Blues release and now it's in DTS Surround!! This is an incredibly natural, stunning, phenomenal mix. The beauty of the music flows around you. I can't possibly say any more, you have to experience it. They could not have made a better choice for their first DTS release (along with Days Of Future Passed). Now if they'd only format the rest of their catalog in DTS (or DVD-Audio)!!
