3 stars I've bought the double CD release with bonus tracks and definitely recommend it for Moody Blues offer the one kind of moody and dreaming landscape with lyrical singing, more down-to-earth music as opposed to psychedelic "In search of a dream". This means to me also that there are fewer progressive elements to discover.

"Higher and higher" is a futuristic upbeat track with good electric and acoustic guitar playing and rising soundscapes. "The eyes of a child - part one" has pleasant vocal harmonies and acoustic guitar + mellotron tracks. "Floating", "Gypsy" and "Candle of life" are pop highlights with strong melodies and harmonies. "Candle of life" has a pompous landscapes with classical piano and tons of mellotron evoking orchestra. If you're looking for midly progressive tracks than you'll be quite happy with "Beyond" with mellotron intro, organ intermezzo. I would say that the pop elements on the album are by far most recognizable out of other directions the band tried here. A strong album of their classic era.
