Octave was an underwhelming reunion effort from Moodies. Justin's ballads were effective as usual & Level With You is a solid tune but Slide Zone is one of their weakest hits, Ray's 2 contributions are forgettable, Top Rank Suite sounds as awkward today as it probably did in 1978, & Moody-style epic numbers on side 2 sound more like ELO imitations than bold & exciting compositions on those 7 classic albums. Their 1980s stuff was very inconsistent but had more memorable moments than Octave.

Ok, I am the one Justin sings about, pretty sure. My daughter took me to see them live in KC for Mothers Day, Fantastic to this day! Was supposed to meet Justin next to my car, but had to leave. Maybe next time!

What great Harmonies! I loved this tune,and still do!

And there was I, hearing this song for the first time while going to the Hastings Grammar School in 1978 as a proper Dutchie! Missed this version, but I was back in Eindhoven by Summer 1979, alas. Still love the Moody Blues and Justin Haywayrd, especially after having listened to Justin's efforts on War of the Worlds in the dark, in our house on 13 Lower Park Road, so eerie but wonderful!

@Jusfriend1 This would make good background music for a shake n bake commercial! oh btw Hayward hires people to keep nuts like you away from him. cry about that !

Hard to believe that Justin is turning 65 in October.....He still sounds as amazing today as he did then......I can never make up my mind but I think that this track is my all time favourite....although if you ask me in a month I will have probably changed my mind. Too many excellent songs recorded by this exceptional band to choose just one, right? :-)
Thanks for posting this.

I think it is safe to say, ....that we women have been " in Love " with both Justin and John...the only two devoted husbands of the Moody Blues....how awesome is that !!!! With the liffe style they lead...High five for the wives...!!
