He had just started a new family in California, and found that he was not getting along with his bandmates as he previously had. Hayward remembers, "He left the band halfway through the album, and then when we wanted to go out on tour, he decided he didn't want to tour anymore, either. And, apart from a few letters of business, we haven't had much contact. I just think his priorities became different, whereas mine--and everyone else's--were always music, No. 1. And I still really miss him, because, when I first came into the band, it was our singing and writing that really got us going; we kind of started together." Hayward reflects further on Pinder's creative role in the band, and how his and Clarke's departure resulted in a stylistic change for the group: "A number of things changed. Two of the mystics left - Mike Pinder and Tony Clarke. They were the strange ones - the rest of us were quite normal! Mike leaving meant a change in emphasis of lyric, because I always had to play things to Mike, and I always wanted Mike's approval. He was a hero of mine, there's no getting away from it, and he was the most important figure in the band for a long while. And he knew that I was the one that was going to make it happen, but he was the one who was behind me making it happen."

Plant. And the Record Plant burned out while we were recording. That was one. I broke my arm. Another one. I recorded after the album with a broken arm and it set with my bass there and said, set it like this so it could still play. And I did that. It was awkward getting in and out of cars, I tell you! Arm up the air. Then private lives in the band between guys and wives, that started to fall apart. We lost our producer during the making of the album, he disappeared. So it really left it to Justin and myself, to continue making the album and producing it. Then we went up to Indigo Ranch in Malibu. And while we were up there, there were the worst floods ever. The mountain slid down the hill and we were stuck up in the mountain in the studio. For days we couldn’t get out. And
Steppin' In the Slide Zone seemed to conjure up everything to me that was wrong. Or fighting the tide, probably. Yeah, fighting the tide. But it's a great album. It ended up being a really nice album. It was really hard work. But it was a great learning experience for us.
471:'s song "One Step Into the Light" references the Mellotron). Real strings were used on three songs: "Under Moonshine" and "I'm Your Man" (both written by Ray Thomas), as well as "Survival" (written by John Lodge). The album was something of a comeback for the group, who had not released an album as a full group in six years. Justin Hayward remembers, "We were apart for three years, and we knew we were going to record another album together, but, in interviews, none of us were going to say it until we actually did it. We never thought we would be able to come back in the same way. We thought we had been away too long, so we were really making a record for ourselves. But then it just took off again--it's like what people couldn't have, they wanted even more."
509:
It's a very evocative part of
England. It's about people that I loved, and the loss of them. I'm talking about men and women. I find in life that it doesn't matter. If you meet someone, and something inside you says, 'Stay close to this person. Stay close to them,' I always make a point of doing that. Those are the people that I write about. And they're in that song. in the Record Plant in Los Angeles where we recorded it...there was this funny old little Farfisa organ. Late one night, I asked the engineer to put it up. I just started playing that , and then I thought, 'Hang on, I can just do this three chord thing all the way through the song, in this particular kind of syncopated thing'. That's the bit I like about it most."
529:. The sessions were marked by marital troubles among the group's members, fires, floods, mudslides and a broken arm. Justin Hayward remembers, "I was mental at the end. There was a great lethargy around that album. Tony Clarke, our record producer, had personal disaster during that album and didn't finish it. And Mike couldn't make up his mind whether he wanted to stay or not. I missed him terribly. I played a lot of the keyboards on it. It was in the time when nobody was showing any interest in anybody else's songs. It's weird to be in a group like that.
505:
one of the most beautiful songs, ever. He gave me some great gifts, and one of them was to be able to play that song. And then he left. Things were, just personally, not right for him inside that band. So that's when we became four instead of five. Somewhere in there are those two old guitars — because he was a guitar player, too — that we played together on the original version. And I think his vocal is the original version, too. I remember the oxide was falling off that tape, it had been played so many times."
501:" was influenced by a mudslide that occurred during the recording sessions. Lodge recalls, "Mike built a studio up in Malibu called Indigo Ranch, we went up there, and we were hit by the mudslides, and we were marooned up there on the top of The Hills of Malibu. We couldn't get down because the roads washed away, and I said, 'Ah, yep. Looks like we're steppin' in a slide zone down here'."

Hayward shares his fondness for Mike Pinder's "One Step into the Light" in a 2019 interview: "One Step Into the Light" was the song that Mike had written several years before and that we recorded in his little home studio. I cannot listen to that song, because it just wells up in me. It's just

Hayward shares the inspiration for the closing track, "The Day We Meet Again": "That particular song was about people in my family — I come from a family with a very strong faith, and so that's in my background as well. And I come from a part of
England that is full of history — the west country.

Graeme Edge reflects on the improved dynamic within the band during the sessions despite the loss of Pinder and Clarke and the group's struggles during recording: "Making your solos shows you how much work actually goes into making an album that other people were covering and you weren't perhaps
