Moody Blues - Blue World (rare extended Disconet remix)

This rare remix was not for sale to the public (Disconet MWDN803 V. 8 #3). I believe the company makes authorized remixes for night clubs.

For this experiment I decided to take the original Maxfield Parrish theme used in the official Blue World video and expand it to show a catalog of Parrish's beautiful paintings. The opening picture ("Daybreak") was the inspiration behind the original video.

Trivia--The term "Parrish blue" was created for this painter who was known for his unique use of vivid blues in his work. Other artists to use Parrish have been Barclay James Harvest (Time Honoured Ghosts lp cover), the Bellamy Brothers (Let your Love Flow cover) and Enya (Caribbean Blue video).

VIDEO (Windows XP moviemaker): I wanted to do more experimenting with editing options. None of the artwork has been altered, but I used scans from different sources to experiment with different blending/transition effects. I also explored using specific transitions to echo sound effects in the song. I wanted to try more ways to create rhythm and motion using stills. No video effects were used.

Fidelity is good but you have a heavy right channel. Sounds like it is panned at least 15 degrees right.

MP was the greatest illustrator of the first half of the 20th century. And, I think, the greatest landscape painter who ever lived.

Unfortunately Disconet is no longer. A sad day for DJs worldwide. Some of their works were simply amazing. ABBA's "Lay All Your Love On ME" and Laura Branigan's "Solitaire" were among their BEST!!!

@spacepatrolman It is well known among Moody circles that there were several phone calls and even a meeting between justin, john and MIKE to discuss bringing him back...but plans did not work out. Those talks were BEFORE ray retired. Now it would not really make much sense sinde RAY is not really able to tour..maybe a one night onljy reunion,.,,,but that is a WISH at the moment not anything factual.

@DavelovesRealMusic if you like art rock listen to another day another lifetime by the david and black roses by clear light
