Editorial Reviews :
Van Morrison went a long way towards defining his wild Irish heart with his first two classic albums: the brooding, introspective Astral Weeks (1968), and the expansive, swinging Moondance. If the first was the work of a poet, its sequel was the statement of a musician and bandleader. Moondance is that rare rock album where the band has buffed the arrangements to perfection, and where the sax solos instead of the guitar. The band puts out a jazzy shuffle on 'Moondance' and plays it soulful on 'These Dreams of You.' The album includes both Morrison's most romantic ballad ('Crazy Love') and his most haunting ('Into the Mystic'). 'And It Stoned Me' rolled off Morrison's tongue like a favorite fable, while 'Caravan' told a tale full of emotional intrigue. Moondance stood out in the rock world of 1970 like a grownup in a kiddie matinee.
Buyer Reviews :
Moondance is a fabulous album that moves the heart and soul. More upbeat and r&b than his previous masterwork, 'Astral Weeks,' 'Moondance' is no less brilliant. 'Moondance' is one of those albums you just put in the car and let it play.
The album starts out with the self reflective 'And It Stoned Me.' The imagery on this song alone proves that Van Morrison belongs with Lennon, McCartney and Dylan as one of rock's great lyricists. The album then swings into the jazzy title track about love in the moment on the dance floor. 'Caravan' in my opinion is one of the greatest road songs ever recorded. A song that combines the mysticism of a gypsy caravan and turning the radio takes us on a journey into what music is all about, emotion. While all of the songs are amazing pieces of music, (notably 'Crazy Love,' and 'Brand New Day') the real standout on this album is 'Into the Mystic.' 'Into the Mystic' is a haunting love song about getting away from it all, and leaving the troubles of earth behind. It is the song of a lost lover singing to his live companion that soon they will travel 'Into the Mystic.'
This album is a must have for any true fan of music. Great songwriting, musicianship, and feeling make this album a forever classic. A+
