Untitled

Sur la Mer is an album released by The Moody Blues in 1988. It is the fourth album of the Patrick Moraz era. It features the hit single "I Know You're Out There Somewhere," a sequel to their 1986 hit "Your Wildest Dreams." Much of the music on this album would fit in the "synthpop" genre, though it does bear more rock and acoustic influences than its predecessor. Sur la Mer was the first album not to feature member Ray Thomas at all, in that while he did make some backing-vocal contributions to the album's sessions, these vocal tracks were never mixed in.
