Since they first hit the rock scene The Moody Blues have continued to produce music that bridges the gap between rock, classical and pop-rock genres without ever wavering in their integrity and commitment.
In summer of 2012, “Nights” was the lead track in the movie and on the soundtrack of the Johnny Depp film, “Dark Shadows.” Universal Music Enterprises also released a new Moody Blues greatest hits collection in two editions titled ICONand ICON 2 - single disc and double disc formats. Last year, the group celebrated the 45 th Anniversary of their monumental 1967 album, “Days of Future Passed,” which features “Nights in White Satin,” one of the first four minute songs played on the radio, becoming one of the biggest selling singles in history, and hitting #1 three separate times on Billboard. The four-CD TIMELESS FLIGHT boxed anthology culls audio highlights from the larger collection, including standout album tracks, singles and B-sides, previously unreleased mixes, and concert and radio performances. It also includes three DVDs of rare television performances, promotional videos and a previously unreleased concert film in addition to three DVD-Audio discs of long out-of-print 5.1 album mixes, a 120-page hardback collector’s book, faithful reproductions of Moody Blues memorabilia, and more.

The band and Universal Music Enterprises (Ume) recently released The Moody Blues ’ new definitive, career-spanning collection, TIMELESS FLIGHT, in both 17-disc and four-CD configurations. From being immortalized on The Simpsons to having their music featured in movies, television and in national advertisement campaigns such as VISA, The Moody Blues are embedded in not only music history but in pop culture. The band’s unique style of music consistently finds airplay on radio stations globally and continues to illuminate concert arenas around the world. Since the 60’s, as a part of the historic original British invasion of Supergroups, The Moody Blues have lit up the hearts and minds of millions of rock fans with inspiring anthems like “Nights in White Satin,” “Tuesday Afternoon” and “I’m Just A Singer (In A Rock And Roll Band),” which express universal themes of love, compassion and peace. In an endless sea of rock and pop formats, The Moody Blues have distinguished themselves through four decades as that shimmering jewel vindicating rock music as a substantial artistic contribution to Western culture. “ The Moody Blues are still the Sistine Chapel of popular music.” – Rolling Stone
