	Mike Pinder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mike Pinder (born Michael Thomas Pinder, 27 December 1941 to Bert and Gladys Pinder in Birmingham, England) established himself as an important rock musician in his work with the Moody Blues during the height of their success.
		Pinder was also the first notable musician to use the mellotron in live performance, relying on the mechanical skills garnered from his time with Streetly to keep the balky instrument in working order.
		Pinder took employment as a consultant to the Atari computer corporation (primarily working on music synthesis), remarried, and started a family in Grass Valley, California.

	The Moody Blues
		Mike Pinder sets the scene with 'Dawn Is A Feeling', a slightly sad, but charming little ditty that's among Pinder's best - he rarely managed to sound with such a solemn, melancholic majesty, and listening to this song will never lead you to understanding why some fans dislike him so much.
		Pinder contributes the dark, 'labyrinthic' (if you know what I mean) meditation 'How Is It (We Are Here)', one of his catchiest ditties ever, and introduces the ecological topic - although I'm a bit puzzled as to what is meant under 'her love'.
		Mike Pinder was the only sensible person in the band, because he left right after the album's release in order to avoid touring it.

	Pause & Play: Ashley MacIsaac / Mike Pinder
		Written by flutist Ray Thomas and arranged by keyboardist Mike Pinder, the song's haunting refrain of "Timothy Leary's dead/ Oh, no, he's outside looking in" was actually a high compliment.
		Pinder said he kept in touch with Leary over the years and listened to the ideas he had.
		Pinder carved the Moody Blues' sound with the use of the Mellotron, a keyboard that reproduces orchestral and choral sounds.

	Among The Stars by Mike Pinder (lyrics & reviews)
		It's definately different than the mellotron onslaught that Pinder brought to the Moodies in the early 70's, but is enjoyable nonetheless.
		Pinder's voice was strong and melodic and capable of handling the different arrangement styles.
		This album is a precious gift from Mike Pinder, reminding us of what's been missing from the Moody Blues since his departure: his amazing voice, harmonic sophistication, and socially/spiritually-conscious lyrics.

	Ray Thomas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The two performed together in such bands as El Riot and the Rebels and the Krew Cats in Hamburg, Germany, at times opening for a then-little-known band called The Beatles.
		Thomas and Pinder then recruited Guitarist Denny Laine along with drummer Graeme Edge and bassist Clint Warwick to form a new, blues-based band.
		The band then reformed (largely minus Mike Pinder who was only with them for the first album - Octave - after the reformation) and continued to release albums throughout the '80s, with Thomas' "Veteran Cosmic Rocker" being prominently featured on the album Long Distance Voyager.

	The Moody Blues
		Thomas and Pinder formed a new group called The Krewcats (not to be confused with Shadows drummer Brian Bennett's band of that name) and went over to Germany from May to November of 1963.
		A chance meeting with Ray Thomas and Mike Pinder at the Moathouse Club resulted in the formation of a new group, although Danny King had by this time lost interest.
		The Moody Blues had changed their musical direction by early 1967 with Mike Pinder supplementing his piano with a Mellotron - a revolutionary and mechanically-complex instrument that used a system of pre-recorded tapes to create a distinctive orchestral/atmospheric sound and was forerunner of today's modern electronic sampling keyboards.

	THE MOODY BLUES - Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
		Mike Pinder, the band's keyboardist, was very intimate with the Mellotron: the funky instrument that plays notes by reading magnetic tapes.
		Mike Pinder, for example, brings both 'Candle Of Life', a chilly song about loneliness with a chorus that sounds like an old man telling us to love everybody and make them our friend because he didn't do it, and it's too late to change things.
		Mike Pinder is gloomy as usual, showing it right away in the very first track: 'Lost In The Lost World', drenched in those deep, dark sounds of his newly acquired Chamberlin (an improved Mellotron, basically).

	The Moody Blues
		Mike Pinder: His voice I don't care for either however he was one of the few people to master that Mellotron and for that I like him.
		Pinder's Dawn is a Feeling is majestic, thanks to Hayward's soaring vocals, and helps to show the beauty of a sunrise and the sense of awe one feels when watching it.
		Pinder's weird How is It (We are Here?), about strip mining, evolution, and other assorted stuff is certainly one of the most creative songs he ever came up with, even if the mellotron sound is a bit rough around the edges.

	MWE3 Features - Thinking Is (Still) The Best Way To Travel
		After all, it was Pinder’s song, “Stop” that introduced The Moody Blues to the North American pop market and teenybopper audiences way back in 1965 - just at the tail end of the mid-60’s phenomenon known as The British Invasion.
		Fortunately, Mike Pinder is still very much alive and well and was quite in the mood to look back at the life and times of the illustrious band he so skillfully helped lead to the summit of the musical world.
		With fans still singing the praises of his fantastic 1995 comeback album, Among The Stars, released on his own One Step Records, Mike Pinder is once again set to enchant his fans with new music.

	Progressive Ears Album Reviews
		After the experimental orchestra orientated Days of Future Passed in 1967, The Moodies fleshed out their sound with Mike Pinder's mellotron coming to the fore in the excellent In Search of the Lost Chord in 1968.
		The first part starts off with some nice acoustic guitar playing with Pinder's understated but emotional singing...."The Voyage" is an instrumental of brilliance with Pinder shining with some outstanding mellotron, organ and piano playing....disturbing sounding stuff...edgy....and brilliant.
		Despite the status of Justin Hayward it was Mike Pinder who lent the band that pure progressive edge.

	CD Reviews - Pop & Rock
		Apparently, Mike’s penchant for writing orchestral pop masterworks aren’t lost on his sons, Matt Pinder and Mike Lee Pinder, who are out to make their own name as The Pinder Brothers.
		Thou shalt not commit poetry!" And helping the sons carry the torch forward, Mike Pinder mixes in some of his patented swirling mellotrons on the track.
		The Pinder Brothers are among the first great new musical stories of the millennium.

	Official Ticketmaster site. Michael Pinder tickets, dates
		During the group's mid-1970's hiatus, Pinder recorded a solo album, The Promise, which grafted elements of what would later be called New Age music onto his established Romantic sound.
		Pinder was one of the few truly gifted melotron players in rock, capable of coaxing extraordinarily rich sounds from this rather restricted instrument.
		His departure from the Moody Blues took him off the rock world's musical stage, but the continued popularity of their early albums ensures that his music and playing are still widely heard and regularly rediscovered.

	Planet Mellotron Album Reviews: M6
		Incidentally, as an ex-employee of Streetly Electronics (Mellotron manufacturers, of course), Pinder was well-versed in the technical side of the machines, and replaced the 'accompaniment' tapes in the left-hand manual of his Mark II with a second set of 'lead' tapes, making the machine far more versatile for live use.
		A little detail that isn't mentioned anywhere on the sleeve is that Mike Pinder left halfway through the recording, being replaced by ex-Refugee and Yes man Patrick Moraz, who apparently contributes a fair chunk of the album's keys.
		The only albums that I could in all conscience recommend are i and Future Memories; don't forget, this is the man who replaced Mike Pinder in the Moody Blues, just as they took the decision to sit firmly in the middle of the road for the rest of their career.

		Mike Pinder looks at the legend of Leary's mind
		The psychedelic guru was immortalized in "Legend of a Mind," a trippy track off the Moodys' 1968 album "In Search of the Lost Chord." Written by flutist Ray Thomas and arranged by keyboardist Mike Pinder, the song's haunting refrain of "Timothy Leary's dead/ Oh, no, he's outside looking in" was actually a high compliment.
		I know Jordan was their first choice when (original keyboardist) Kevin Moore split five years ago and for some reason Jordan wasn't available, so they've had a relationship with Jordan for a long time.

	Moody Blues - Seventh Sojourn (Surround Sound Album Review)
		Despite these attempts to ease its burden, its stresses continued to mount, and while caught in the midst of constructing Seventh Sojourn, the ensemble also was on the brink of disbanding.
		Indeed, throughout the effort, one can hear the cracks beginning to rip through The Moody Blues’ foundation, and its eight songs were as distinctly divided as anything that the then-current line-up of Graeme Edge, Justin Hayward, John Lodge, Mike Pinder, and Ray Thomas ever had dispensed.
		On When You’re a Free Man, Pinder offered a dirge-like follow-up to Thomas’ more playful Legend a Mind, while Lodge relays a cautionary commentary tale on the brevity of life and the regrets that can fill it.
