Are You Sitting Comfortably?

This is a fantastic album from the Moodies and the sound is excellent. This is one of the band's most dreamlike albums and can give you a contact buzz just listening to it. The album's loose concept explores individuality in a conformist society. The band members play a wide variety of instruments on this album and in 2006, it was released as an SACD with bonus songs. This really is an album meant for surround sound.

In 2008, it was remastered on cd with the same bonus songs and restored artwork. I love the fact that they've restored the album's original booklet and pictures as well as adding some cool bonus songs.From the trippy In the Beginning, this album REALLY DOES take you on a voyage and every song is a must have. Everyone in the band contributes to this release and it's wonderful to hear the group mind at one of it's peaks. Truly one of the Moodies best.
