In addition to Astral Weeks Moondance is one of the most important albums of VM. The band plays excellently - especially the Saxaphone gives the pieces a unique sound, which was unheard of for new that time. The music is composed layered and almost every song is a different note. In is Van's voice that is out emotionally touching. This album "speaks" emotionally direct to the listener than the comparatively distantere "Astral Week".
