This is "Gemini Dream" by UK progressive rock band "The Moody Blues". Released in 1981 it was the first hit single from their UK & US number 1 album "Long Distance Voyager". The song was written by vocalist band members Justin Hayward & John Lodge. Long Distance Voyager was a Moody Blues album released in 1981, and was their first with keyboardist Patrick Moraz in place of original keyboardist Mike Pinder. After the completion of the 1978 album Octave, Pinder decided against touring with the Moody Blues to promote the album, so the group replaced him with former Yes keyboardist Moraz. The band then waited three years before releasing a new album, the longest gap between Moody Blues albums since the group went on hiatus after the release of Seventh Sojourn in 1972. Long Distance Voyager is only partially a concept album, as only half of the songs relate to a "travelling" referred to in the album's title. The final three tracks comprise a mini-suite that combines themes of carnival jesters and the chaos experienced backstage at a rock show. Upon release in 1981, Long Distance Voyager became the Moody Blues' second U.S. number one album, and was also the source of the top-40 singles "The Voice" (#15) and "Gemini Dream" (#12).

At the same time you may also like to explain to the fans why the original DVD version sounded like shyte! "It's time to stop dishing out these second rate poorly produced products, those days are over. We consumers now not only have the technology to notice it but we can expose it & if need be revive it! Obviously not everyone can do the latter but they really shouldn't have to... should they? After all isn't that what the so called sound engineers get paid for?" Please also be aware that all videos uploaded to YouTube are format shifted by the host website from the original files. This can often cause picture & sound deterioration (i.e. mono audio) as well as the occasional video/audio synchronization issue! Audio remastered @ the VCRS 2008 ©
