"Gemini Dream" led the way for Long Distance Voyager, the Moody Blues' 1981 album on Threshold, as its first single, and it marked a first inside the band. Guitarist Justin Hayward and bassist John Lodge had already made a duet record together, Blue Jays, back in 1975, but this was the first song the pair wrote together for the band. It grew out of a jam session.
Pip Williams produced, Norman Goodman and Gregg Jackman recorded and mixed, and Patrick Moraz lays on the keyboards, giving the band a sleek new wave shine for a new decade. It paid off: the single reached No. 12 on the US Hot 100 and went all the way to No. 1 in Canada, and Hayward and Lodge each took home an ASCAP songwriting award for it. "Painted Smile" rode along on the B-side, and "The Voice" came next.
