Re: Electric Light Orchestra

RE you are dead on target about Discovery, I bought that album and played it a handful of times and that was it. I don't hate the album, but I stopped buying ELO records at that point, it just seemed that they had lost their mojo.

I never played Fire On High backwards, it didn't come across as anything but interesting when I bought Face The Music when it came out. That is my fave song of the album though.

I think you should give Time a chance. "Ticket to the Moon" is one of the few songs in my lifetime that gave me chills.



Yep, chills again. That voice is heart piercing.

^^I'll think about it Annie.

Sox likes that album as well so that is two votes for Time from people I respect.

Big fan of 70's Electric Light Orchestra.

Here's one of my favorite ELO songs...

''Ma-Ma-Ma Belle'' from the album, ''On The Third Day''

Turn this one up! ELO ROCKS!!

Re: Electric Light Orchestra

Here is some insight about how Jeff works in the studio. Interesting indeed.

http://www.artandscienceofsound.com/

Scroll down to Studio Stories on the right and click on "Richard Dodd", an engineer who worked with Jeff for many of Jeff Lynne's productions over the past 20 years, including Cloud Nine, Armchair Theatre, Traveling Wilburys, Zoom, etc. There is a great story in the video starting at 7:50 about a session he did with Jeff (I'm guessing for Armchair Theatre) and what happened when he suggested a word for a lyric that Jeff was having trouble writing.

Unbelievable!
