  Moody Blues - Days of Future Passed (Surround Sound Album Review)
Days of Future Passed might not have been The Moody Blues’ debut recording, but it did mark the dawning of a new era for the band by laying the foundation upon which it was able to construct an extraordinarily lengthy career.
Utilizing the passage of time as its guide, the song cycle portrays a cautionary tale about the brevity of life, though its lyrics also are laced with the spiritual underpinnings of a psychedelic pilgrimage as well as those of the circular journey from birth to death to reincarnation.
Given the inherent theatricality of Days of Future Passed, it certainly isn’t a surprise that the effort functions so well in its re-christened rendition as a sparkling, DTS 5.1 surround sound masterpiece.

  Days of Future Past - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Days of Future Past is the name of a popular storyline in the Marvel Comics comic book Uncanny X-Men issues #141 and #142.
The storyline alternated between the present day, in which the X-Men fought Mystique's new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and a future timeline caused by the X-Men's failure to prevent them from assassinating Senator Robert Kelly, in which robot Sentinels ruled the United States and mutants were forced to live in concentration camps.
Ahab kidnapped the children Franklin Richards (son of Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman, and in the future timeline Rachel's love) and Nathan Summers (son of Cyclops and Madelyne Pryor, and as an adult the mutant hero named Cable), but was defeated by the X-Men, X-Factor, the New Mutants and the Fantastic Four.

Not to be confused with the X-Men story arc Days of Future Past.
Days of Future Passed, The Moody Blues' second album (released in 1967), was also their first of what would be a succession of concept albums.
Utilizing the so-called London Festival Orchestra primarily for epic instrumental interludes between songs, Days of Future Passed moved the Birmingham band away from its early RandB roots (as displayed on its debut album with soon-departed future Wings member Denny Laine) into uncharted rock territory, making them the early pioneers of both classical and progressive rock.

The final episode, where Liz and Simon pass through the time barrier, fully expecting to return to 1970 but instead find themselves in a frozen wasteland, is perhaps the most startlingly effective of the series' cliff-hangers because it is so completely unexpected and so utterly strange.

'Days of Future Passed' was cited with being "partially responsible for creating the wave of concept records to follow" by the NME in 1974.
These days the Moody Blues, with their somewhat grandiose musical style, are sometimes discounted and looked upon as "dinosaurs playing music for oldies".
It has been more than thirty years since the Moody Blues brought out their innovative 'Days Of Future Past' album, and the passing of time is the theme that runs through 'Strange Times' as we approach the next millennium.

Not that the 1967 Days of Future Passed stands 'above and beyond' all recordings the way the SR-71 Blackbird, which entered service in 1966, was birthed and yet remains above and beyond all airplanes.
The Moody Blues knew their days as the "Go Now" band were numbered, so in the summer of '66, they went off to a small town in Belgium to work out a new show.
The album represents the ages of man from infancy to old age as the stages of a single day from dawn to night, a concept at least as old as the Riddle of the Sphinx.

 InternetEd Reviews: Moody Blues- Days Of Future Passed   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Days of Future Passed--a concept record originally released in 1968--is an amazingly mature album with a level of depth nearly unmatched by most bands to this day.
The record follows through a day in the life of an average guy from morning to evening, with the lyrics being sung by all members of the band, each one contributing his own vocal style.
Days of Future Passed is, without doubt, a timeless album dealing with a concept of the ordinary (a day's passing) which the Moody Blues [through the skillful use of an orchestra] manage to turn into an extraordinary and mystifying experience.

 The Moody Blues 5.1 CD review on AudioRevolution.com
Released in 1967, Days of Future Passed was an international hit at the time, although today it is primarily remembered for Hayward’s classic “Nights in White Satin” and, for some, “Tuesday Afternoon,” also by Hayward.
Days of Future Passed is, additionally, one of the earliest rock/orchestral fusion attempts, and one of the rare albums made in the last few decades that actually seems to work, thanks largely to the late Peter Knight.
Looking at this album from a vantage point over 30 years after the event, it’s easy to regard Days of Future Passed as pretentious, with its spoken rhyming intro and outro (which are possibly rather less pretentious than those on Threshold) and its attempt to depict the passing of a day from dawn to night.

This album marked the formal debut of the psychedelic-era Moody Blues ; though they'd made a pair of singles featuring new (as of 1966) members Justin Hayward and John Lodge, Days of Future Passed was a lot bolder and more ambitious.
That's mostly because they came to this album with the strongest, most cohesive body of songs in their history, having spent the previous year working up a new stage act and a new body of material (and working the bugs out of it on-stage), the best of which ended up here.
With "Tuesday Afternoon" and "Nights In White Satin" to drive sales, Days of Future Passed became one of the defining documents of the blossoming psychedelic era, and one of the most enduringly popular albums of its era.

"Days of Future Passed" sits with "Dark Side of the Moon" and "Fragile" as the progressive rock album most likely to be found in non-prog music collections, and is one of the more unique and significant achievements in a decade full of rock firsts.
"Days Of Future Passed" is one of the first true progressive rock recordings of all time….not to mention one of the greatest as well.
Days of Future Passed is arguably one of the first prog albums of all time, completely phenomenal.

For its day, November 1967, Days of Future Passed was more than a milestone, it was a crowning achievement in many senses.
Days Of Future Past even left it's mark on the charts with "Nights in White Satin" and "Tuesday Afternoon." The Moody Blues more than made up for originally breaking up after the first album.
It must be said again, that many in the progressive rock community tend to give the Moodies short-shrift, and that's unfair, because as outlined at the outset our views of the band tend to be tainted by their more recent pop-ier material.

They were a significant improvement over the original late-'80s CD releases from Polygram, which were rushed and, in some instances, badly flawed, and they're rich and rewarding and will continue to please listeners for years to come.
That said, midway through listening to the CD layer of this dual-layer (CD/SACD) double-disc "deluxe edition" of Days of Future Passed, this reviewer found himself amazed by what he was hearing, off of an album that he's known intimately for over 35 years.
And then there's disc two, which constitutes the results of a full-scale raid on the Decca vaults and their holdings of 1966-vintage Moodies tracks, plus a search of the entire session-tape archive from Days of Future Passed, and a retrieval of all of the group's 1967-vintage BBC appearances.

(The Stones, for their part, tripped and took a noisy tumble down the hill.) While some of the original gilding still shines on Days of Future Passed, the psychedelic precocity of its intent has left a patina that obscures some of the fine handiwork involved in its painstaking fabrication.
That would all be in the past, though, as the Moodies looked forward to a new future where each songwriter found their own voice.
It was indeed a new day dawning for the Moodies and for pop music in general.

On the other hand their relevance as predecessors of the genre is absolutely undeniable, especially in "Days of Future Passed" an album that uses many prog' elements like the use of Mellotron the inclusion of an Orchestra and the fusion of genres.
None of this elements was absolutely new in rock history but I could dare to affirm that it was one the first times all were used together.
It's very hard to rate this album, because the music is too simple to consider "Days of Future Passed" as a masterpiece, but it's relevance in the developing of early prog' is so transcendental that no collection will be considered complete without a copy.
