It’s as dark as a tomb!, shadows appear from nowhere, great long arms reach upward into the gloom, and sinister coiled shapes lurk in every corner – even the walls seem to hold their breath. High up near the ceiling a soft light casts an eerie glow on upturned faces and all around, strange sounding music.
Suddenly a voice cries out “Great!…come and have a listen!”
Yes, a recording studio can be a very strange place at 4-30 a.m., especially if it has been invaded by the Moody Blues.
The studio floor resembles a museum for musical instruments, since in this Album every single note, beat, or word is performed by the Moodies themselves. Their versatility never ceases to amaze me from Album to Album, in fact to me they will always be the smallest symphony orchestra in the world.
– Tony Clarke
Being of “Sound” mind and the Producer of The Moody Blues.
__________________________________________________
To anyone who has practiced meditation or Yoga: the word MANTRA is familiar as a word of power concentrated upon in meditation. The most important word of power in the Hindu scriptures is the word OM, which pronounced AUM means ‘God,’ ‘All,’ ‘Being,’ The answer’. Thought or intentness on its meaning will cause the exclusion of all other thoughts, ultimately bringing about the state of mind to which the meditator aspires.
A YANTRA is used in much the same was as a MANTRA, though visually. There are varied forms of YANTRA design, which always consist of a form perfectly co-ordinated and integrated.
The YANTRA is something which can hold the mind to a form much as in the less organised way one can see pictures in the glowing embers of a fire or cloud. The mind, contemplating that form and including all of the designs it contains may easily pass along to the integral concept.
Between the eyes and ears there lie,
The sounds of colour,
And the light of a sigh.
With thoughts of within
To exclude without
The ghost of a chord
Will expel all doubt
And to name this chord
Is important to some
So they give it a word
And the word is ‘OM’
