Album Notes
Personnel includes: Van Morrison (vocals, acoustic guitar); John Platania (guitar); Jack Shrorer (saxophone); Jeff Labes (keyboards); Garry Malabar (drums).Where on previous recordings Van Morrison had implied soul and R&B roots, on Moondance he set them free. He had rarely sounded so relaxed, whether on the bubbling joy of "And It Stoned Me," the finger-popping ease of the title track or the celebratory bliss of "Caravan." Morrison revelled in the music's tight arrangements, clearly enjoying the punchy horn section ("Glad Tidings") and empathizing with quieter, acoustic settings ("Crazy Love"). Where ASTRAL WEEKS was a cathartic stream-of-consciousness, MOONDANCE shows an artist enraptured by a new-found musical freedom, from this moment on everything he sang had soul.

  Still loving it after all these years
Review created: 08/07/07

I've loved this album (can I still use that word?!) for many years and finally got round to getting it on CD rather than having a scratchy old tape that's been played so often it's almost completely worn out. Better than going to cacophanous Virgin stores or similar, a little pressie delivered straight to my door courtesy of a little ebaying. Putting this in the CD player and hearing the opening bars of And it Stoned me, moving on to Into the Mystic.... made me feel so chilled and took me to a place I know I can go anytime with Van - worth every few pennies paid for it.

Being a huge Van Morrison fan & owning this title on vinyl, I decided to update my collection to CD.This copy was bought at a great price and posted to me almost immediately. A great album containing great songs.

This is without a doubt my favourite Van Morrison album. I bought the vinyl many years ago and have had this one c.d. for some time now. It is a very soothing and lyrical album. If you like any of his music you will love this. I purchased this as a present for my mum.
