The Other Side of Life is the twelfth album by The Moody Blues, released in 1986.
It is the third album of the Patrick Moraz era, and the first for flautist and vocalist Ray Thomas not to play a major role. The music on The Other Side of Life marked the beginning of dominant synthesizer, sequencer, and drum machine use by the band, to the point that the entire album could be classified as a "synthpop" record, a surprising stylistic change for a band that had pioneered symphonic rock.
The Other Side of Life contains the major hit, "Your Wildest Dreams", which, like "Nights in White Satin" before it, was a Top-10 hit in the United States. It also contains the song "Rock 'n' Roll Over You", which was featured in the ice-chopping scene in The Karate Kid Part II.
