The Moody Blues - Discografia.

The Moody Blues foi um dos muitos projetos que surgiram na vaga da chamada british invasion, no final da década de 60 e início de 70. O percurso da banda teve início em Birmingham, Inglaterra, onde o grupo El Riot and the Rebels, fundado por Ray Thomas e Mike Pinder, era um dos mais importantes nomes da altura. Pinder abandonou entretanto o projeto, mas voltou a colaborar com Thomas em 1963. Juntos formaram os Krew Cats, uma banda que chegou a atuar em palcos alemães, e onde sempre foi muito bem recebida. Quando os músicos regressaram a casa, que é como quem diz, ao Reino Unido, depararam-se com centenas de novos grupos, todos em busca de um lugar ao sol.
 


Foi nesta altura que o duo resolveu recrutar músicos profissionais para formarem uma banda e enfrentar a concorrência, e foi então que nasceram os Moody Blues. Os eleitos foram Denny Laine (voz e guitarra), Graeme Edge (bateria) e Clint Warwick (voz e baixo), todos ex-membros das mais bem conceituadas bandas de Birmingham da altura. 

Foi na sua cidade natal que os Moody Blues se estrearam, em Maio de 1964, e não tardou até partirem para uma digressão, que depressa esgotou. Seguiu-se a assinatura do contrato discográfico com a editora inglesa Decca Records, seis meses após a data da sua formação. 

“Steal Your Heart Away”, o primeiro single da banda foi editado em Setembro de 1964, mas não chegou sequer a figurar nas tabelas de vendas britânicas. Em compensação, “Go Now”, lançado no mesmo ano, chegou ao topo da tabela de singles. No entanto, os singles que se seguiram não voltaram a gozar da mesma popularidade que “Go Now”, e a frustração instaurou-se no grupo. O desgaste psicológico aliado ao cansaço provocado pelas digressões traduziu-se em pressão a mais para Warwick, que acabou por abandonar os Moody Blues em 1966. Ainda no mesmo ano, Laine seguiu os passos do ex-colega, e os seus lugares foram ocupados por John Lodge e Justin Hayward, respectivamente. 

O disco “Days Of The Future Passed” (1967), tornou-se num álbum emblemático da carreira da banda, pela inovação que constituiu a conciliação de sonoridades rock com música clássica sendo assim considerada uma das bandas precursoras do rock progressivo. No ano seguinte, “In Search Of The Lost Chord” viu a luz do dia, mas já sem a ajuda da orquestra. 

Foi na fase que sucedeu à edição do registro de 1969, “To Our Children’s Children’s Children’s”, que os Moody Blues decidiram começar a produzir discos possíveis de reproduzir em concerto, apostando num som mais pesado. “A Question Of Balance” (1970) e “Seventh Sojourn” (1972) foram os trabalhos que se seguiram, sendo que este último foi já editado numa altura em que a banda acumulava o cansaço próprio da vida na estrada e da edição regular de trabalhos discográficos, daí que não tenha sido de estranhar o facto de terem esperado seis anos até editarem o álbum seguinte. 

Os membros da banda decidiram reunir-se em 1977, no entanto, o processo acabou por se revelar complicado pelo facto de Pinder se ter entretanto mudado para a Califórnia. Apesar das contrariedades, os cinco músicos acabaram por encontrar uma solução que proporcionou a edição de “Octave”, em 1978. Porém, as dificuldades continuaram. Pinder, não satisfeito com o resultado final do registro, recusou partir em digressão com o grupo, tendo o seu lugar sido ocupado por Patrick Moraz. 

“Long Distance Voyager” (1981) foi o sucessor de “Octave”. O disco foi um êxito em termos de vendas, mas na década de 80, os Moody Blues deixaram de ser vistos pela crítica especializada como uma banda de referência. 

Mais recentemente, a banda regressou a estúdio em 1999 para a gravação de “Strange Times”, editado no mesmo ano. Em 2003 lançaram o álbum December.
