Promise / Among the Stars

Promise / Among the Stars

2013 three disc (two CDs + NTSC/Region 0 DVD) release from the founding member and keyboardist of the Moody Blues. Noted for his pioneering use of the Mellotron on the "Classic Seven" albums by the Moody Blues, Mike recorded a solo album, the Promise, (released in 1976) before departing the Moody Blues during sessions for the Octave album. Settling in California, Mike pursued many interests before releasing a follow up solo album, Among the Stars in 1994 as a private mail order release. This deluxe boxed set features remastered versions of both albums, along with three new bonus tracks, "If She Came Back" by Mike and "Waves Crash" and "Empty Streets" by the Pinder Brothers (featuring Ray Thom's on flute), produced by Moody Blues producer, the late Tony Clarke. It also includes a DVD (over an hour in duration) with extensive interviews with Mike on his time with the Moody Blues, his personal philosophies and exclusive solo performances of his music.
