$Justin Hayward's 2nd solo studio album - Night Flight!! Original 1980 Canadian copy The album came about as a result of Hayward's involvement in Jeff Wayne's musical adaptation of War of the Worlds. Wayne produced and arranged the album, which proved to be one of the lengthiest recording experiences of Hayward's career. The music was mostly pop and dance oriented, and most of the tracks were romantic love songs. The title track - the last to be recorded for the album - and "I'm Sorry" (the latter featuring some unusually jagged guitar) were also the hardest-rocking records on which Hayward had appeared since "Question" by the Moody Blues, a decade earlier. Wayne's production gave Hayward's music a leaner sound than had been evident on his prior recordings, with more use of pulsing synth pop-type accompaniments ("Crazy Lovers," etc.) and a thinner guitar sound ("Penumbra Moon"), while other songs, such as "Nearer to You," were much more dance-oriented than anything Hayward had previous released, and all of the songs were more romantic than previous solo work. Only "Suitcase" and "It's Not On" really sounded like his earlier work, and even they had more of a stripped-down band sound at their core. The album had everything going for it except timing, appearing as it did after the Moody Blues' reunion, while also sounding too different from the Moodies' work to appeal to more than a relatively small fraction of their fans. There are some great tracks on it, but unless you live some synth pop rock ballads or the Moody Blues a lot, you might pass over this album. Great if you find it cheap tho!
