I have loved The Moody Blues ever since 1987 when I was in the fifth grade.  I was awakened to their strikingly different sound when I first heard "Question" on KLSX 97.1, at the time Southern California's classic rock radio station.  I've had a deep love affair with their music ever since.  "On The Threshold of a Dream" has long been a favorite of mine.  It's rich musical tapestries will sooth you from a hard day at work that's for sure.  Please don't pay any mind to those saying that there is "filler" on this album.  There's not a stitch of it!  My personal favorite on this record has (and always will be) "Send Me No Wine."  It's upbeat carefree melody and harmonies have lifted me from out of a "blue funk" many a time.  It saddens me to read that people don't care for this tune very much.  This album is classic Moody Blues...as is many of their other L.P.s.  As a kid I used to get those Salesian Inspirational Books (little Catholic poem booklets that contained beautiful artwork), read them and look at the paintings while listening to The Moody Blues...this album in particular.  Their music flowed right along with the country scenes in the booklets and would take me to peaceful places in my mind.  I still occasionally do that too because The Moody Blues are all about peaceful places.  Buy this album and let The Moodies escort you somewhere far away!
