Active compensatory factors: Mike Pinder was, of course, a key member of the classic Moody Blues line-up. This solo album was completed during an inactive period for the band. Mike left the Moodies in 1978 and passed away in 2024.

His voice is instantly recognisable, but in The Moody Blues he had three other strong vocalists/composers to share the vocal duties, and so he struggles to carry a whole album on his own.
The other problem is the hippy dippy sentimentality on display in The Promise. A little goes a long way. That said, it's a pleasant enough sounding album.
Where do they all belong? His only solo album while with the Moodies, I won't be tracking down his others from the nineties that he recorded after leaving the band.
