Full review
Astral Weeks was described by one reviewer as one of the top ten rock albums of all time. He then wrote that this was better. It was and still is a fair comment.
Moondance's songs are more defined and less related than the albums predessor, "Astral Weeks". Unfortunately the title track has been hijacked by every MOR singer who thinks that they can sing Jazz.
Still all the songs are perfect, from the opening "And it Stoned Me" to "Glad Tidings" at the close. If you listen to the album a few times the somgs will stay with you forever.
Another perfect gem from Van the Man.
