Engineer Derek Varnals would also contribute heavily to the creation of the early Moody's studio sound, working with Pinder & Clarke to create a more symphonic overlapping sound on the Mellotron as opposed to the sharp ' cut off ' the instrument would normally give, partly achieved by removing all the " sound effects " tapes ( trains, whistles, cockerel crowing, etc.

" Sojourn " also saw Pinder using the new Chamberlain instrument in place of Mellotron and Edge use an electronic drum kit.

Although the band had typically featured four lead vocalists ( with Edge also contributing vocally ), with Hayward the principal guitarist / vocalist, Pinder was considered to be the person most responsible for their symphonic sound, arrangements, and overall conceptual direction.

He provided some backing vocals for both The Other Side of Life and Sur La Mer ; however, multiple production considerations led Visconti to leave Thomas ' vocals off of the latter of these two albums, thereby further reducing the texture of their overall vocal sound, which had been rich four-part harmonies, then went down to three, now reduced still further to just the more similar-sounding voices of Hayward and Lodge ( Lodge also providing falsetto vocals and high harmonies ), with Pinder and Thomas each having provided both lower-and higher-pitched vocal harmonies in the group's earlier vocal sound.

Pinder currently runs a weekly advice column in Nuts, entitled " The Truth About Women ," and also has embarked on a television career.

Tim and his wife Frances Tompkins have been composing and performing music together for 25 years and he appeared on the 1995 recording " Freelight " which also featured former Moody Blues keyboardist / vocalist Michael Pinder.

A second Moody Bluegrass album entitled Two ... Much Love with a further 16 Moody Blues songs will include guest performances from Hayward, Lodge and Edge, ( each of whom is credited as the lead on one song ) plus Thomas and Pinder, making this the first time since 1978 that these five musicians all appeared on one newly-recorded album.

In 2004, Pinder appeared on Living TV's series I'm Famous and Frightened, spending the weekend at Bolsover Castle in Derbyshire investigating ghosts and spirits.

Lennon played an Epiphone Casino ; McCartney played a Mellotron, a new home instrument purchased by Lennon on August 12, 1965, ( with another model hired in after encouragement from Mike Pinder of The Moody Blues ); Starr played drums, and Harrison played electric guitar.

It took the form to new heights using the London Festival Orchestra, a loose affiliation of Decca's classical musicians given a fictitious name adding the term " London " to sound impressive, to provide an orchestral linking framework to the Moodies already written and performed songs, plus overture & conclusion sections on the album including backing up Graeme Edge's opening & closing poems recited by Pinder.

The composing credits were listed on the sleeve as: " Redwave-Knight ", when in fact Hayward wrote " Nights ..." and " Tuesday Afternoon ", Thomas provided " Another Morning " and " Twilight Time ", Lodge penned " Peak Hour " and " Evening ( Time To Get Away )", and Edge contributed the opening and closing poems ( the first ' Morning Glory ' and the latter titled " Late Lament ") read by Mike Pinder who composed both " The Sun Set " and " Dawn is a Feeling " ( sung by Hayward, with Pinder himself singing the bridge section ).

Pinder's " The Best Way To Travel " was another high point, as was his closing song " Om " ( sung by Pinder and Thomas, again featuring Hayward on sitar ).

On 1969's On the Threshold of a Dream Hayward, Edge, & Pinder share the opening narration on Edge's " In The Beginning ", leading into Hayward's " Lovely To See You ".

Pinder contributed the closing track on side one, " So Deep Within You ".

The opening track " Higher And Higher " saw Pinder simulate a rocket blast-off on keyboards, then narrate Edge's lyrics.

" Edge produced two albums with guitarist Adrian Gurvitz, Kick Off Your Muddy Boots ( 1975 ) and Paradise Ballroom ( 1976 ); Hayward composed the acoustically textured Songwriter ( 1977 ), which would be followed up in later years by Night Flight ( 1980 ), Moving Mountains ( 1985 ), ( which Hayward dedicated to Peter Knight ) Classic Blue ( 1989 ), The View From The Hill ( 1996 ), and Live In San Juan Capistrano ( 1998 ); Lodge released Natural Avenue ( 1977 ); Pinder produced The Promise ( 1976 ); and Thomas collaborated on two projects with songwriter Nicky James, producing From Mighty Oaks ( 1975 ) and Hopes, Wishes and Dreams ( 1976 ).

Pinder's decision caused some open acrimony within the band ( notably from Edge ), Ray Thomas had said Pinder was initially agreeable to touring, and his opting out later on ( with a major comeback tour already planned ) was a severe and embarrassing blow to them.

The music video produced for " Driftwood " features Moraz, although Mike Pinder was the one who played on the actual recording ; the video for " Steppin ' in a Slide Zone " simply shows the other four members without Pinder ( which was rather awkward as Pinder's keyboards featured extensively on the song, notably on the distinctive intro and during a solo section of the piece ).

In truth, a few songs sounded like solo efforts, while Lodge's " Survival ", Hayward's appropriate closing " The Day We Meet Again " and Pinder's lone final contribution and lead vocal, " One Step Into The Light " ( curiously as the band is depicted as doing so on the cover photo – where Pinder is perhaps significantly barely glimpsed at all and almost out of focus ) were all high points on the album.

After three years without a major sponsor, WSR teamed up with RAC in 2006 and the team was called Team RAC. In 2007 an MG ZR driven by BRC Stars Champion Luke Pinder won class N1 on Britain's round of the World Rally championship.

In production and arrangement the album drew inspiration from the pioneering use of the classical instrumentation by The Beatles to whom Pinder had introduced the Mellotron that year.

Pinder and Thomas handled much of the Moodies onstage audience liaison work ( as the 1969 " Caught Live " album displays ).

Pinder attempted legal measures to prevent the new Moody Blues album from reaching the public without his contributions, but he was not successful, and ultimately, he never returned to the fold.
