A Question of Balance (1970)

Although the Moodies had by now defined a somewhat psychedelic style and helped to define the progressive rock

(then also known as 'art rock') sound, the group decided to record an album that could be played in concert,

losing some of their full-blown sound for A Question of Balance (1970). This album, reaching No. 3 in the American charts

and No. 1 in the British charts, was indicative of the band's growing success in America. Incidentally,

it seems to have been one of the first rock albums broaching the issue of ecology

(e.g. line: We'll spoil the seas with the rivers we've lost, from Edge's "Don't You Feel Small"). Hayward's "Question"

(in a differing version) was issued as a single, reaching No. 2 in the UK

(kept from the top spot only by the England World Cup football team's novelty record "Back Home").

Justin Hayward began an artful exploration of guitar tone through the use of numerous effects pedals and fuzzboxes and developed

for himself a very melodic buzzing guitar-solo sound. The Moody Blues had by now become a bill-topping act in their own right.

They appeared twice at the famous Isle of Wight Festival (A DVD of their 1970 performance has been released).

Pinder's "Melancholy Man" (a No. 1 single in France) stood out beside Hayward's "Question" on the 1970 album.
