No, it was a newer documentary, but amazing that there's more than one of them so long

Also I somehow never knew that Patrick Moraz was in The Moody Blues as well.

gotta be the guy who did the most to popularize the mellotron, for that alone he is a legend
his stuff was definitely the trippiest, always loved "The Sun is Still Shining"

His suite on side 2 of On the Threshold of a Dream is my pick for "most prog before prog" recording (even if it only predated King Crimson by six months).
It resulted in The Music Trial of the Century!

yeah the word "in" is doing a lot of work there

That is weird. On a song like "The Voice," Moraz is supplying like 80% of the instrumentation.

hard to argue, as good as those albums are they make for a hell of a greatest hits comp which is how I got into them from the start. can't remember which one I had (it was a single CD and it started with "Go Now") but it was really good start to finish. they do have some really great deep cuts though.
