M O O N spells: Shafted by Imperial Records.......2006-09-16

There are only a few artists that make it to the top and Moon is just one of the many groups that got lost in the crowd. Matthew Moore is a decent songwriter whose style roughly fits into the same category as Emitt Rhodes or Eric Carmen. The two albums are catchy and enjoyable, but not one song could be considered to be an absolute killer for an a side on a single. Simply put, they sound like a mixture of the Beatles, Bee Gees, Zombies, and Hollies while never actually sounding like themselves. Maybe a diiferent producer could have coaxed Moore into writing in a more original style, but don't let that stop you from buying this lost gem.

We all missed this boat...........2006-08-02

...but you don't have to miss it the second time thanks to Rev-Ola CDs if you can still remember the Summer of Love when we really did think we could change the nasty old world.

The original MOON records cost more than some Beatles but this CD is excellent ...and a bargain.

Try it...you'll like it....and might even silently thank me.

SOUNDS A LOT LESS DATED THAN "SGT. PEPPER"!!!.......2006-07-21

While the criminally-overrated "Sgt. Pepper" album is clearly showing signs of age
(except to those mythology-panderers in denial,)the debut album by The Moon
sounds fresh, vibrant, and just a tad audacious. And while I'm at it, let me correct
those who continue to misrepresent the musical landmarks which influenced this disc:
it owes more to the Bee Gees' pop-psych of "First" and the Beach Boys' underrated "Friends" than The Beatles.
Highlights include the Gibb-meets-Barrett opener, "Mothers And Fathers", the acid-
drenched "I Should Be Dreaming", the flawless pop of "Pleasure" and the goofy
sitar-laced psychedelia of "Brother Lou's Love Colony" - which I guarantee you, if Beck recorded
tomorrow, the rock press would be praising to high heaven!

Top Notch Psychedelic Bubblegum.......2005-04-09

Just as it seems every schlemiel with a guitar who heard the Ramones or Sex Pistols ran out and started a punk band, it's probably a safe bet that a fair number of people who bought Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band or Magical Mystery Tour started a psychedelic-tinged pop band and put out an obscure album or two. Most of which, needless to say, are mediocre and terribly dated. And, to be honest, pretty much every great obscure track you really need can be found on the Nuggets and Nuggets II box sets. Still, occasionally I'll stumble across a surprisingly decent obscurity.

This is one of those lucky finds. L.A.'s The Moon didn't exactly take the Summer of Love by storm; their biggest claim to fame was likely the inclusion of guitarist David Marks, who apparently had played in the Beach Boys at some point (nope, I hadn't heard of him earlier). Fortunately, collectors' label Rev-Ola collected their 2 lp's, 1968's Without Earth and 1969's The Moon, onto a single cd a couple years back. And it's actually pretty great. Or if not great, at least something worth repeated listens. The debut is a pretty blatant Beatles rip-off, apparently trying to sound as much like Magical Mystery Tour as possible without venturing into copyright infringement. Of course, nothing is as memorable as anything John & Paul came up with, but there are a few songs (oddly overlooked by Nuggets and comparable collections) that deserve to be played alongside any other 60's pop classics -- most notably the catchy "Walking Around" and the psychedlia-drenched "Never Mind." Much of the rest falls into a sunshine pop sound, perhaps too twee to be memorable, but it ain't bad. The follow-up was more of a departure, with the band apparently adding some Dylan (or, more likely, Donovan) to their collections. A much more folk-oriented sound, though still plenty of light psychedelic pop thrown into the mix. Some gets kinda silly, but the sound is a bit improved, and at least it's less derivative. All in all, a worthwhile purchase for fans of the era.

The Moon's 2 lps ('67/'68) - Ahead of it's time~.......2005-02-21

The Moon's only two lps that were released/recorded back in '67 & '68 are quite ahead of it's time, considering the debut lp was done on a three track, the later on a 4 track! The sound is hugh with psych "analog" punch (especially the bass). Although the debut lp "Without Earth," is a little bit bright (nothing a good EQ can't change), there's still that big bottom end "full of wall" sound. Nevermind the some songs are killer "Beatles (think Magical Mystery Tour era) Psych style" full tilt. Others that have over the top hooks, and even one track that has sort of a funk groove (Got To Be On My Way) going on. The real candy psych tracks- Pleasure, I Should Be Dreaming (backward drums), Brother Lou's Love Colony, Someday Girl, Papers, and Faces, keep you coming back for more and more (I couldn't stop plqaying this disc for weeks!). The 2nd lp "The Moon," has a more rounded "sound production," but not nearly as psych as the debut lp. More laid back, but still some real good gems too. My personal favorite track "Mr. Duffy," brings back some psych flavor mixed with a Paul McCartney solo style vibe, with beautiful string arrangements! That song that I still go back listening to, over and over again. If you haven't picked up this underground band that never got the attention they deserved, highly recommend picking it up and adding it to your "psych collection!" 5 Stars!

Quintessential Choral Music for Christmas.......2002-10-29

This release consists of "Christmas Night" (Collegium 106) and "Christmas with the Cambridge Singers" (Coll 111). If you don't already have these two CDs, purchase this now! John Rutter is without peer as composer, arranger, and conductor of choral music, and these CDs are everything you could want in choral music for the holidays. The Cambridge Singers perform with flawless diction, tonality, and musicianship. The arrangements are rich and bubbly or pristine and elegant but always, always gorgeous. I also recommend "Christmas Day in the Morning" (Coll 123). Rutter's "Gloria" (Coll 100) is also stunning, and that CD includes some great examples of his non-Christmas work. Just listen to any of the Rutter samples you'll find here at Amazon, and I promise, you will be enchanted.
