	Eldorado (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Electric Light Orchestra's 1974 (see 1974 in music) concept album Eldorado, is considered by many of the group's fans to be one of the band's highwater marks.
		Jeff Lynne stopped overdubbing the strings as he had on the first three albums, and instead hired an orchestra (reportedly, you can hear the double-bass players putting away their instruments at one point).
		The results are a dramatic, full-sounding album of well-written, well-played and well-arranged songs.

	Rock Ahead: CD Album: Electric Light Orchestra - Eldorado,Discovery,Time,Secret Messages (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Eldorado was the band's fourth release in 1974 and broke the band into the hugely lucrative US market.
		It was also the first album where the band used a full orchestra rather than overdub a few violins and cellos.
		The standout on this album is perhaps the track also released as a single "Can't Get It Out Of My Head" - a great testimony to Jeff Lynne's songwriting skills and certainly one of his finest.

	Freedom (Neil Young album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Freedom is an album by Neil Young, released in 1989 (see 1989 in music).
		The album contains one of Young's most important songs -- "Rockin' in the Free World".
		The lyrics became anthems for two historic events of 1989: 1) student protests in China's Tiananmen Square and 2) the fall of the Berlin Wall [1].

	Eldorado by Neil Young
		The simple fact is that 'Eldorado" is probably the greatest guitar rock album ever.
		Parts of it are like nothing you've ever heard, holocaustal, post -apocalypse ruptures and manglings, great bloody swathes of feedback, random distortions, and gashes of sound, the reckless weather of psychotic abandon.
		The lyric is full of obscure references to crystal balls, gypsies, riders on a hill, fires in the fields, random shootings, drug deals, political corruption, women crying against the walls of an adobe mission, assassinations.

	Eldorado: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more \|\|\| Music.com
		This is the album where Jeff Lynne [+] finally found the sound he'd wanted since co-founding ELO three years earlier.
		Lynne saw the limitations of this process, however, and opted for the presence of an orchestra -- it was only 30 pieces, but the result was a much richer musical palette than the group had ever had to work with, and their most ambitious and successful record up to that time.
		The integration of the orchestra would become even more thorough on future albums, but Eldorado [+] was notable for mixing the band and orchestra (and a choir) in ways that did no violence to the best elements of both.

	DPRP : Counting Out Time : Electric Light Orchestra - Eldorado
		In the summer of 1973, prior to the recording of the third album, ELO did their USA debut tour, followed by another tour in 1974 (recorded on the live album "The Night The Lights Went On").
		Eldorado was very well received by both the international public and press.
		The ELO albums after their peak period 1974-1977 are of little relevance for progrockers (with the exception of the string-less, but powerful "Time" concept album in '81).

	A Brief History of the Electric Light Orchestra
		Eldorado is best described in the 1990 compilation box set Afterglow's liner notes by Ira Robbins: "Eldorado sketches the story of a Walter Mitty charecter who fantasizes about the travels, travails, disillusionment and paradise found in his dream world".
		The whole album, song by song, is a psychadelic mind trip through time and history, through the eyes of different charecters represented in the eternal dreamer's fantasy world.
		Interestingly enough, Lynne and the group did not understand the cover selected for the album, the now-famous close up from the Wizard of Oz of the hand of the Wicked Witch of the West being zapped by the magic in Dorothy's ruby slippers, as The Wizard of Oz was largely unfamiliar in Europe.

	E.L.O.
		I seriously think the album should be given a bit more attention and at least treated as a normal regular live release from these guys, because it doesn't let their reputation as a live output down in the least.
		Eldorado never really felt monotonous to me; it was, indeed, like a pop lover's world, diverse and intriguing, changing moods and styles all the time; Face The Music, on the other hand, simply defines the essence of monotonousness.
		This album, strictly speaking, is not even an ELO album: it's divided fifty-fifty, with the first side dedicated to stuff composed by John Farrer and sung by Olivia herself and only the second side dominated by Lynne compositions (although Jeff still gives the title track to Olivia).

	Eldorado by Electric Light Orchestra CD
		Though 1974's ELDORADO is subtitled "A Symphony by the Electric Light Orchestra" and features both a portentous spoken-word prologue and an instrumental finale, this album marks Jeff Lynne's final break from classical-rock fusion in the Emerson, Lake & Palmer sense.
		Eldorado, like all their other albums are unreal, but this one might just be the best.
		ELDORADO was the album that finally made ELO superstars.

		On The Third Day, the album from which the single was taken, achieved a silver sales award in America and was the beginning of the group's successes in that country.
		Eldorado - A Symphony By The Electric Light Orchestra was ELO's first concept album and collaboration with arranger Louis Clark and saw the band augmented by a full choir and a session orchestra instead of overdubbing cellos.
		Originally intended as a double LP, the concept album was based on Lynne's reaction to ELO being labelled devil-worshippers as a result of supposedly backward-masking satanic messages in their songs.

		Yet Elton John felt that the album was a cohesive whole, and deserved to be heard by the public.
		Carly originally intended the album to focus on New York City, anchored by her Gershwin tribute, "In Honor of You (George)." Yet as she pared away songs, "The Manhattan reference was diluted, the 'concept' was lost, the overall landscape became more generalized and less geographically centered."
		The centerpiece of the album is the bewitching "Cross the River," which is as good as anything Carly has ever released, both melodically and lyrically.

	OTG's Top Ten For 2001
		Anyway, on this album, ELO was simply three members of The Move (Roy Wood, Bev Bevan and Jeff Lynne) augmented by a horn player, and a violin player, with Roy Wood playing the other classical instruments (cello, bassoon, clarinet, and oboe), and Wood and Lynne splitting the songwriting, vocals and production.
		Overall, the album is very patchy, and the "disco" tag is a fair one.
		The album had a surprise minor hit with the rockabilly-tinged "Hold On Tight" (which is a fine song, but kinda blows the "futuristic" feel).

	2002 Cadillac Eldorado Collector's Series
		Cadillac announced that 2002 would be its last year of the Eldorado, so Cadillac built only 1596 Eldorado's to commemorate the 1953 Cadillac Eldorado, which as many of you already may know was Cadillac's first year of the Eldorado.
		The Eldorado Collector's Series had numerous details that set it apart from a normal ETC. The interior in the Aztec Red ECS came in fl with red accents that really spiced it up, and the Alpine White ECS came with a 2 tone Grey interior.
		The rumble of it's exhaust was designed to purposely echo the rumble of a big block 1953 Eldorado, and they did a pretty good job of it.

	Electric Light Orchestra : Eldorado - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		This is the album where Jeff Lynne finally found the sound he'd wanted since co-founding ELO three years earlier.
		Not that it could ever have the same impact or be as distinctive, but it had its feet planted in so many richly melodic and varied musical traditions, yet made it all work in a rock context, that it did recall the Beatles classic.
		The integration of the orchestra would become even more thorough on future albums, but Eldorado was notable for mixing the band and orchestra (and a choir) in ways that did no violence to the best elements of both.

		Eldorado (1974) is generally considered to be the beginning of greatness for ELO, and certainly, with a hit like Can’t Get It Out Of My Head, it's not an empty assertion.
		However, as a foundation album (and I consider all the albums up until A New World Record to be “foundation” albums), Face The Music is the most consistently relevant to the sound that ELO would produce in its heyday: that unique amalgam of Beatlesesque rock, disco, and orchestral pop.
		It is the base from which ELO would create the music for their next three albums, so if you want to see/hear how it all started, this is the album for you.

		Eldorado is not one of Electric Light Orchestra's better-known albums, which is a damn shame, because this one is EXCELLENT.
		Of all of the albums ELO released, this is probably the one that has the most of a classical feel to it, since it's more about the album as a whole than separate tracks.
		While this isn't really an album I'd recommend to new fans of the group (the next three albums make for better starting points than this one), it is certainly one of the group's finest efforts, and any true fan of the band will appreciate it greatly.

	ELO - Eldorado (1974) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		With his use of a 30 piece orchestra, Jeff Lynne finally acheived the right blend for ELO's original concept of orchestral pop where neither the element of pop nor the element of orchestra was overshadowed by the other.
		The listener is not distracted by track changes and so, while it's not a mellow album, the way the songs are ordered gives Eldorado a mellowing effect.
		The rock-and-roller of this album, despite its oddly highbrow title, is Illusions in G Major.

		Taking Dorothy's ruby slippers and wicked witch album cover theme to their hearts, many of ELO's growing American fanbase began arriving at concerts dressed as their favourite Wizard Of Oz character.
		It was this dedication that helped propel Eldorado to gold status, followed by their first ever top ten single, an edited Can't Get It Out Of My Head, in November.
		Lynne then recruited Kelly Groucutt on bass and vocals and Melvyn Gale on cello in time for the Eldorado tour and sessions for the follow up album, Face The Music, establishing an ELO line up that was to last for four years.

		"Eldorado" Electric Light Orchestra, ELDORADO Rumor: When played backward, "He is the nasty one/ Christ, you're infernal/ It is said we're dead men/ Everyone who has the mark will live." Findings: Coincidence.
		Word of the albums' impending release in the United States caused enough of a furor to chill CBS Records into deleting the cover blurb.
		In part, the complaint was that the album cover (flowers, and Prince on a motorcycle) wasn't explicit enough to warn kids of the suggestive lyrics.

	Electric Light Orchestra - Overview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The first Move album and their early singles are mostly Beatles-influenced, occasionally psychedelic pop, although there were some traces of what was to come - the 1812 Overture quotes in the first Move single Night of Fear hint at ideas that would be more fully developed on later Move albums and the first ELO album.
		The band's fourth studio album, Eldorado, was the only one to feature a full orchestra (rather than one or two players multitracked to sound like an orchestra).
		Perhaps this is the second solo album that he had been rumored to be working on, and at the last minute he decided that it would sell better under the ELO name than his own.

	Electric Light Orchestra: Eldorado - PopMatters Music Review
		And Eldorado (named for the mythical, gilded king of a golden kingdom) struck a responsive chord, breaking through like sunlight on the buried desires of the discouraged and disillusioned '70s audience.
		The Eldorado re-issue is a wonderful rock fantasia for the listener not afraid to be carried aloft by Jeff Lynne's sweeping orchestral and choral arrangements.
		Eldorado was the first of many successful ELO albums that had in mind "the mission of the sacred heart", a shimmering, purlined call to hold on tight to our dreams.

	ELDORADO
		Eldorado starts off with the by-now standard overture, this time featuring the portentous narration of Peter Ford-Robertson (who also closes things out).
		Yet if the beginning of this album shows what ELO is capable of, the rest of the album reveals an artist coasting on his accomplishments.
		ELO needed to step beyond the shadow of The Beatles, and Eldorado doesn’t find that promised land (the good news is they would reach it soon, on A New World Record).

		Although all four of these albums were great in their own way, the fact of the matter was simple - The band just wasn't achieving the mass popularity and radio air time that they so desperately needed.
		However, some issues of the album are lacking the extended instrumental intro to Fire On High (the same part of the song that is cut when the song is played on the radio.) Fortunately, the readily available American version of the album has restored the intro.
		But the album just does not end as strong as it starts, with "One Summer Dream" being one of those songs where it ends and you are sort of surprised that was all there was to the album.

		At their creative peak (through the Eldorado album and before most of the hits), the Electric Light Orchestra were all about trippy strings, widescreen production, big hooks, and revived psychedelia.
		This reunion album really isn’t a reunion but a solo effort with leader Jeff Lynne playing almost everything.
		But his songwriting goes like clockwork: he pulls a killer hook by the first chorus of every song, pulls another one in the bridge, plays a solid guitar solo, and that’s it.
