It consisted of members John Moore, Mark James and Eric James (no relation as their real names were Mark James Fordyce and Eric James Logan). They released a single on a local small independent label "Is There A Reason". At that time in 1981 they were a five-piece band. The three above members of The Mood signed to RCA in 1982 and released a new re-produced mix of "Is There A Reason". Then came "Don't Stop", still a bit of a cult classic in music circles (top 10 Hit on the Billboard Charts in the US). None of them reached the UK top 40 charts, but the follow up "Paris Is One Day Away" almost did. It landed at number 42 on the UK charts and stopped there. Two places higher would have got them a definite slot on Top Of The Pops, but it was not to be. Follow up singles were "Passion in Dark Rooms" with "The Munich Thing" on the flip side, and a final single, "I Don't Need Your Love Now". The band split in 1984. A mini-lp was released in the US though no album was released in the UK. 2) The Mood is a Czech indie rock band. The Mood were founded by Aleš and Ondra around
