![]() My favourite track on the album is "Painted smile" which is an idyllic piece which could be played on a vacation in the summer and I like the warm vocals and the rich background with circus feeling(8/10). The last track "Veteran cosmic rockers" is fast and rough and the vocals are mighty and sound almost like Greg Lake(8/10). The first "The Voice" is also fast and I do like the poppy swing(8/10) and "22.000 days" is well played, deep with great keyboards(8/10). These are the best tracks and the edgy "Gemini dream"(7/10), the poetic "Nervous"(7/10) and the spoken parenthesis "Reflective smile"(7/10) is also better than just good. Overall is the sound of this record mighty and it's music full of great details and even the not already mentioned tracks are beautiful, at least partially. Definitely The Moody Blues had gone in a good direction and took their music a step further. "Octave" doesn't fit in amongst their high quality records but "Long Distance Voyager" sure does it. I think it's one of my favourite Moody Blues records actually. Four stars!
