ʻO ka Moody Blues he hui pōhaku Pelekania. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ma 1964 ma ke kula ʻo Erdington (Warwickshire). Ua manaʻo ʻia ka hui ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea nāna i hana i ka neʻe ʻana o ka Progressive Rock. ʻO ka Moody Blues kekahi o nā hui pōhaku mua e ulu nei i kēia lā.
Ka hana ʻana a me nā makahiki mua o The Moody Blues
Ua hoʻokumu mua ʻia ka Moody Blues ma ke ʻano he mele mele a me ka hui blues. I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kā lākou hana lōʻihi, ʻelima mau lālā o ka hui: Mike Pinder (synth operator), Ray Thomas (flautist), Graham Edge (drums), Clint Warwick (bassist) a me Danny Lane (guitarist). ʻO ka hiʻohiʻona o ka hui ʻo ka hele ʻole o ka mea hoʻokani leo nui. Loaʻa i nā poʻe a pau nā mākau leo maikaʻi loa a ua komo like i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana o ke mele.
ʻO ke kahua nui no ka hana ʻana o nā kāne he mau hui ma Lākana. Ua loaʻa mālie lākou i kahi anaina liʻiliʻi, a ua lawa ka uku no nā mea pono loa. Akā naʻe, ua loli koke nā mea. Hiki ke noʻonoʻo ʻia ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻoihana i ke komo ʻana i ka papahana televise Ready Steady Go!. Ua ʻae ia i nā mea mele ʻike ʻole ʻia e kau inoa i kahi kuʻikahi me ka lepili moʻolelo Decca Records.
Ua manaʻo ʻia ka pā mua o ka hui he uhi uhi o ke mele ʻo Go Now na ka mea mele ʻuhane ʻo Bessie Banks. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia no ka hoʻolimalima i ka makahiki 1965. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole ia i hana maikaʻi loa iā ia. ʻO ka uku i hoʻohiki ʻia he $125, akā he $600 wale nō ka uku o ka luna. I kēlā manawa, loaʻa i nā limahana limahana ka nui like. I ka makahiki aʻe, hele nā kāne i kahi huakaʻi hui me ka hui kaulana ʻo The Beatles, a i kēlā me kēia lā ua hāʻawi ʻia ka mea i komo i $ 3 wale nō.
I loko o kahi wā paʻakikī, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album piha piha ʻo The Magnificent Moodies (ma ʻAmelika a me Kanada i ka makahiki 1972 ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia ʻo In the Beginning).
ʻO ka lua o ka manawa o ke ola a me ka holomua i hiki mai
ʻO ka makahiki e hiki mai ana ʻo 1966 i hōʻailona ʻia no ka hui e nā loli i ka haku mele. Ua pani ʻia ʻo Lane a me Warwick e Justin Hayward lāua ʻo John Lodge. ʻO ka pilikia a me ka nele o nā manaʻo noʻonoʻo i alakaʻi i ka lohi o ka hana. Ua koi kēia mau manawa pilikia i nā hoʻololi koʻikoʻi. A ua hiki mai.
ʻO ka kaulana i hiki i nā mea mele ke kūʻokoʻa mai ka luna. Ua hoʻoholo nā kāne e noʻonoʻo hou i ka manaʻo o ka mele pop, ka hui pū ʻana i ka pōhaku, ka waiwai orchestral a me nā kumu hoʻomana. Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Mellotron i ka waihona o nā mea hana. ʻAʻole maʻamau ka leo pōhaku i kēlā manawa.
ʻO ka album piha ʻelua ʻo Days of Future Passed (1967) he manaʻo i haku ʻia me ke kākoʻo o ka London Symphony Orchestra. Ua lilo ka album i mea waiwai nui, a ua lilo ia i kumu hoʻohālike.
Nui nā "mea hou" i kope paʻakikī i ke ʻano a hoʻāʻo e kūleʻa. ʻO ka Nights In White Satin hoʻokahi i hana nui i ka mele. ʻOi aku ka lanakila i ka makahiki 1972, i ka wā i hoʻokuʻu hou ʻia ai ke mele, a ua alakaʻi ʻo ia i nā palapala ma ʻAmelika a me Beretania.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album ma hope ona, In Search of the Lost Chord, i ke kauwela o 1968. Ma kona ʻāina ʻEnelani, ua komo ʻo ia i nā album kiʻekiʻe 5 maikaʻi loa. A ma ʻAmelika a me Kelemania i komo i ka 30 kiʻekiʻe. Ua hōʻoia ʻia ka album i ke gula ma United States a me ka platinum ma Kanada.
Ua kākau ʻia nā mele ma kahi ʻano ʻokoʻa, ma ka Mellotron. Aia i loko o ka album nā mele mai ka Hikina. ʻOkoʻa nā kumumanaʻo o nā mele a pā i ka ʻuhane. Ke kamaʻilio nei lākou e pili ana i ka hoʻomohala ʻuhane, ka pono e ʻimi i kou ala ola, e hoʻoikaika i ka ʻike hou a me nā ʻike.
pōhaku holomua
Ma hope o kēia hana, ua hoʻomaka ka Moody Blues i manaʻo ʻia he hui i lawe mai i ka pōhaku holomua i ke mele. Eia kekahi, ʻaʻole makaʻu ka poʻe mele i ka hoʻokolohua a hoʻohui pū i nā mele psychedelic me ka pōhaku kiʻi, e hoʻāʻo ana e hōʻike pono i kā lākou mau mele me kahi ʻano paʻakikī i kā lākou "fans".
Mahalo i ka hana ma hope, ua ʻoi aku ka kaulana o ka hui. ʻO ke ʻano maʻamau, ʻo ia hoʻi ka orchestral loftiness a me ka impressionism, kūpono i nā mele mele kiʻiʻoniʻoni. Hoʻopili ʻia nā manaʻo noʻonoʻo a me nā kumuhana hoʻomana ma nā ala a hiki i ka album Seventh Sojourn (1972).
Nā huakaʻi ʻahamele a me nā album hou
Ua kaulana loa ka hui ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. ʻO ka nele o kahi alakaʻi alakaʻi ma waena o nā lālā o ka hui, ka ʻoihana kiʻekiʻe a me ka pedantry i alakaʻi i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ua hoʻopau ka hui i mau mahina e hoʻokō i nā hana impeccably. Ua hala ka manawa, ʻaʻole i loli ke mele. ʻOi aku ka piha ʻana o nā kikokikona i nā laina e pili ana i nā leka cosmic, i nalowale i kā lākou mea hou i waena o ka poʻe hoʻolohe. Ua ʻike ʻia ke ʻano o ka holomua, ʻaʻohe loli o kona makemake. Ua kamaʻilio ka mea pahu pahu e pili ana i ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā poʻo inoa āpau ma nā mele a me nā album a hoʻopau ʻoe i ka mea like.
ʻO kahi mākaʻikaʻi o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, i mālama ʻia i ka makahiki 1972-1973, ua ʻae ka hui e lilo i mea waiwai e $ 1 miliona. Mahalo i ka launa pū ʻana me Threshold Records, nona ka hui hana ʻo Rolls-Royce, ua loaʻa i ka hui kahi huina pōʻai hou.
I ka makahiki 1977, ua loaʻa nā mea pā i ka album ola Caught Live +5. ʻO ka hapahā o ka hōʻiliʻili i noho ʻia e nā mele i hoʻokuʻu ʻole ʻia e pili ana i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hānau ʻana o ka symphonic rock. ʻO ke koena o nā mele i hoʻopaʻa ʻia mai ka Albert Hall of Arts and Sciences ma Lākana i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka makahiki 1969.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album piha piha ʻo Octave i ka makahiki 1978 a ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia e ka poʻe pā o ka hui. A laila, hele kaʻapuni nā mea hoʻokani pila ma Beretania. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ma muli o ka aerophobia, ua pani ʻia ʻo Pinder e Patrick Moraz (ua ʻike mua ʻia ʻo ia ma ka hui ʻAe).
ʻO kahi au hou i wehe ʻia i ka makahiki 1980 o ke kenekulia iwakālua i hoʻomaka me ka disc Present (1981). Ua lilo ka album i "breakthrough", e lawe ana i ke kūlana poʻokela ma nā mele mele US a me ke kūlana 7 ma ʻEnelani. Ua hiki iā ia ke hōʻike ʻaʻole i nalowale ka pūʻulu i kā lākou talena a hiki ke hoʻololi i kā lākou hana i ke ʻano loli mau. Hiki i nā mea hoʻokani pila ke hana i nā mea a ka poʻe pā i manaʻo ai iā lākou.
I ka makahiki 1989, ha'alele 'o Patrick Moraz i ka hui. ʻOiai ʻo ia e hana pū ana me ka hui, ua hana ʻo ia i ka hana solo, e hoʻokuʻu ana i kekahi mau hana. Hoʻomau ʻo ia i kāna hana mele a hiki i kēia lā.
ʻO kēia manawa o ka Moody Blues
Mai ia manawa, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kekahi mau hana piha piha. Me ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka millennium ʻelua, ua emi pinepine nā huakaʻi. Ua haʻalele ʻo Ray Thomas i ka hui ma 2002. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album hope ma 2003 a ua kapa ʻia ʻo Dekemaba.
I kēia manawa (ʻike mai 2017), The Moody Blues he ʻekolu: Hayward, Lodge a me Edge. Ke hoʻomau nei ka hui i nā hana ʻahamele a hōʻiliʻili i nā kaukani hale he nui. Ua lilo kā lākou mau mele i hōʻailona maoli no ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka pōhaku holomua.
Ua hala lōʻihi ka manawa "gula" o ka hui. ʻAʻole paha e ʻike mākou i kahi album hou e hauʻoli me kahi mea hou. Ke hala nei ka manawa, a ʻike ʻia nā hōkū hou ma ka lewa, kahi i hele i kahi ala lōʻihi, e lilo nō hoʻi i mea kaulana. He mele ia i kū i ka hoʻāʻo o ka manawa.
