JOURNEY iNTO AMAZING CAVES

  • 1.  To Extremes 
    2.  Search For Daylight 
    3.  Arizona 
    4.  Water 
    5.  Crystal Chamber 
    6.  Blue Cathedral 
    7.  Frozen In Time 
    8.  Home Of The Mayan Gods 
    9.  Horizons Turn Inward 
    10. We Can Fly
 

Not really a Moody Blues album, but I thought I better move it in here rather hen to keep a seperate page  for it. 

The soundtrack for the IMAX film Amazing Caves contains two songs by The Moody Blues, the instrumental Water and We Can Fly. The instrumental score has arrangements of the classic Moody songs Nights in White Satin, Question,  Your Wildest Dreams and I know you're out there somewhere.

I love this release, beautiful instrumental arrangements, with woodwinds, orchestra, and voices. Justin's plays guitar and gets to sing a few lines from Question.The two new songs are great. "We Can Fly" is very uplifting, and "Water" is simply beautiful.

 

Released: October 2003 in the U.S.
December 2003 as Ballads in the U.K.
