Album NotesPersonnel: Justin Hayward (vocals, guitar, acoustic guitar, keyboards); Phil Palmer (vocals, guitar); Mickey Feat (vocals); Geoffrey Richardson (mandolin, viola, pipe); Jesse Levy (cello); Steve Skinner (piano); Paul Bliss (keyboards); Elio Rivagli (drums, percussion); Tessa Niles, Billy Nichols (background vocals).Audio Mixers: Gary Tole ; Stephen W. Tayler.Recording information: Mullinetti Studios, Recco, Italy.Unknown Contributor Role: Sonny Kompanek.Arranger: Steve Skinner.The View from the Hill mostly showcases some of Moody Blues vocalist/guitarist Justin Hayward in excessive form, though its best tracks may alone be worth the price of admission for serious fans. The album opens with the engaging "I Heard It," a catchy number whose electronic flourishes recall the Moodys' "Your Wildest Dreams." Up next is the album's clear highlight -- the ethereal, hypnotic "Broken Dream," which boasts a flamenco-spiced guitar and a prominently mixed vocal that ranks with Hayward's finest. From there, The View from the Hill is mostly filled with lyrics about "pockets full of dreams," "the dark of the mystic night," and "sadness in your eyes." ~ Jeff Burger
