Moondog - Moondog (1969)

I had planned on giving this a more in-depth review but I've been crazy busy at work and home lately, so I just haven't had much time for music.
I have three of Moondog's albums in my music collection; Moondog (1956), More Moondog (1956), and Moondog (1969). Of the three, this is the most complex but it's also the one I tend to listen to the least. Not that I dislike the album but I find myself drawn to his earlier works far more often when I'm in the mood to listen to Moondog, as I tend to prefer jazz to classical. This album is very good and shows quite a change from his earlier jazz-based music to show the orchestral side of Moondog's musical imagination. As far as orchestral music goes, though, this is one of my all-time favorites even though I don't enjoy it as much as the other two albums I have by him.
8.5/10
