I can't match anything by the Bluudy Moos with caves, perhaps you are thinking of Rick Wakeman's Journey to the Center of the Earth, which of course fits quite well.
Being a Moody Blues fan--introduced at a speaker builder's showroom in Crisman, Colorado in 1970--I bought this on a flyer from a used-CD store. It was a travesty. Some kind of mishmash of Moodies songs with orchestral overdubs. It didn't last long in my collection.
I left "Journey to the Centre of the Earth" off my list because it had already been mentioned. I was introduced to Wakeman by way of... hmm... I think it was the "Six Wives..." record in a demo at a stereo equipment dealer (learned of Alan Parsons the same way). Maybe it was the King Arthur album. Long time ago.I bought a copy because I liked it, and found "Journey..." and others by association. There's a more recent remake of this which is, to me, less successful. They polished the creative spark out of it. As happened with the orchestral "Tubular Bells," I think.
