Music reviews of Moondance

Music Review: I WANNA ROCK YOUR GYPSY SOUL.....
Rating: 5 Stars

It's been a long time since I owned MOONDANCE. There has been some debate on which is Van Morrisons best album. Come on. This is it.

I just got the new print on vinyl and it is hella nice. Opening right off with its smooth, somewhat surreal but innocent AND IT STONED ME. We used to cover that bit at the Yardrock back in the day. Every song is just as good as the one it's next to on this album,,, theres no "this ones brilliant," or "he's such a genius," on this one folks. Just ten solid tracks that bring it home. And nothing can match the singability... CARAVAN, INTO THE MYSTIC, GREETINGS FROM NEW YORK... even CRAZY LOVE... eventually they will all win you over.

Only plan on buying one VAN MORRISON album? MOONDANCE. absolutely (...on vinyl!)

Description of Moondance

Pressed on 180gram vinyl at RTI. Mastered from the original analog master tapes by Kevin Grey at Acoustech Mastering. Features all original packaging. Highlights include 'Caravan', 'Into The Mystic' and 'Moondance'. Van Morrison's 1970's follow up album to Astral Weeks titled Moondance was every bit as brilliant; buoyant and optimistic where Astral Weeks had been dark and anguished it cracked the Top 40 and generated classic hits.
Van Morrison went a long way towards defining his wild Irish heart with his first two classic albums: the brooding, introspective Astral Weeks (1968), and the expansive, swinging Moondance. If the first was the work of a poet, its sequel was the statement of a musician and bandleader. Moondance is that rare rock album where the band has buffed the arrangements to perfection, and where the sax solos instead of the guitar. The band puts out a jazzy shuffle on "Moondance" and plays it soulful on "These Dreams of You." The album includes both Morrison's most romantic ballad ("Crazy Love") and his most haunting ("Into the Mystic"). "And It Stoned Me" rolled off Morrison's tongue like a favorite fable, while "Caravan" told a tale full of emotional intrigue. Moondance stood out in the rock world of 1970 like a grownup in a kiddie matinee. --John Milward
