	Discovery (Electric Light Orchestra album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Discovery is a 1979 album by Electric Light Orchestra.
		The album contained four major hits with "Shine a Little Love", "Confusion", "Don't Bring Me Down" and "Last Train to London", all of which were very disco-like.
		Orchestra and choral arrangements - Jeff Lynne, Richard Tandy and Louis Clark.

	Electric Light Orchestra
		The Electric Light Orchestra marked a distinct change in fortunes for Jeff Lynne as despite (in my view) writing the stronger songs on the previous Message from the Country album he was still largely living in the shadow of his more famous counterpart.
		The first section of the album is a near masterpiece, the heavy orchestration of the previous sets has disappeared and has been replaced with a far mellower sound, sweet infectious melodies wrap themselves up and intertwine themselves throughout the first four tracks as they drift gracefully and seamlessly into each other.
		The album closes with what I believe was the fourth single from the album “Wild West Hero”, a piano led ballad that sparks into life with another of Lynne’s folk/pop choruses and a effective country/rock bridge.

		At the time of ELO's inception, however, Lynne was considered by the pop pundits of the era as Wood's junior partner, a fact made clear in the accompanying booklet by a contemporary Melody Maker review: "oh Roy Wood, you've done it this time, you've really done it - a fascinating album".
		By way of contrast, the album is, arguably, the first indication of Jeff Lynne's emergence as a first division songwriting talent (and yes, I have heard the Idle Race).
		And yet when the band released their debut album 30 years ago it was the far zanier Roy Wood, of the multi-coloured hair and shades, who had inspired the idea of a band that would take up where The Beatles had left off with 'I Am The Walrus'.

	Electric Light Orchestra: Nostalgia
		Electric Light Orchestra returned to pop music in 1981 with Time, an album that downplayed strings in favor of a more streamlined electronic sound.
		He also paid tribute to Electric Light Orchestra’s original inspiration when he got to produce the new songs for the Beatles on their Anthology albums.
		They have become a hit on the international concert, proving that Electric Light Orchestra’s far-thinking rock/classical combination was far enough ahead of its time to remain in style for years to come.

		Time was the last truly great album from the Electric Light Orchestra, released as their world-conquering fame was starting to ebb.
		Moreover, critical darlings Grandaddy have frequently stated the album influenced their excellent Sophtware Slump, evidence that this futuristic album was itself years ahead of its time.
		Time is highly recommended for those who want to go back to the glory days of experiencing the magic of ELO without ever being denied the experience of seeing them live.

	ELO - The Essential Electric Light Orchestra (Album Review)
		With each passing album, however, Electric Light Orchestra shifted more and more away from its lengthy prog-rock excursions, though it did retain many of the elements it had been developing.
		The group’s albums were often conceptual in nature, meant to be taken as a whole, and the instrumental layers grew sizeably, often incorporating choirs as well as mid-size orchestras.
		The Essential Electric Light Orchestra collects the band’s most successful songs from the ’70s and ’80s and strings them together in a way that makes a strong case that the group was far better than it is often remembered as being.

		The Electric Light Orchestra's ambitious yet irresistible fusion of Beatlesque pop, classical arrangements, and futuristic iconography rocketed the group to massive commercial success throughout the 1970s.
		However, as Electric Light Orchestra's career descended, Lynne emerged as a sought-after producer, helming well-received comebacks from George Harrison (1987's Cloud Nine) and Roy Orbison (1989's Mystery Girl) and additionally re-teaming with both rock legends as well as Bob Dylan and Tom Petty in the hit supergroup the Traveling Wilburys.
		In 1988, meanwhile, Bevan formed Electric Light Orchestra Part II with vocalist Neil Lockwood, keyboardist Eric Troyer, and bassist Pete Haycock; although Lynne filed suit against the group (hence the "Part II" tag), a self-titled LP followed in 1991, with a live collection recorded with the Moscow Symphony Orchestra appearing a year later.

	Electric Light Orchestra: Time - PopMatters Music Review
		When Time was released in 1981, its unconventional (by ELO standards) and simplistic album cover design suggested a different ELO experience awaited the faithful follower.
		In essence though, Time remained a quintessential ELO album.
		Suffice to say, their inclusion on this expanded version of Time only strengthens the continuing rehabilitation of this album as one of the finest of the eighties.

	E.L.O. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Electric Light Orchestra is certainly the world's readiest candidate for 'Most Grossly Misinterpreted And Most Unjustly Despised' band of the past thirty years.
		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.
		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).

	SongBook \| The Electric Light Orchestra
		Originally intended to be an offshoot of the popular progressive British rock group The Move, the Electric Light Orchestra was meant to be in existence alongside its progenitor.
		There was still an album to record, and though Electric Light Orchestra II had only five songs, they were lengthy, jam-heavy art-rock adventures, the shortest of which was seven minutes long.
		A new album of original songs was released as an ELO fan club exclusive in 2001, but now the Orchestra has reportedly found a label to release their self-titled relaunch in 2003, and a tour will almost certainly follow.

		Time takes its cues more from such bands as the Alan Parsons Project and Wings than from Jeff Lynne's fascination with Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band-era Beatles.
		Sure, all the electronic whirs and bleeps are present and accounted for, and Time did spawn hit singles in "Hold on Tight" and "Twilight," but on the average, Electric Light Orchestra had begun to get too stuck on the same structure and content of their releases.
		Time proves to be competent ELO but not great ELO.

	Electric Light Orchestra : Electric Light Orchestra II - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Cut during the fall of 1972, Electric Light Orchestra II was where Jeff Lynne started rebuilding the sound of Electric Light Orchestra following the departure of Roy Wood from the original lineup.
		It was as personal an effort as Lynne had ever made in music, showcasing his work as singer, songwriter, guitarist, sometime synthesizer player, and producer, and it is more focused than its predecessor but also retains some of the earlier album's lean textures.
		On the other hand, "From the Sun to the World (Boogie #1)" was a succinct progressive rock workout, and "Kuiama" was a decent showcase for the different sides of the group that worked about as well as any 11-minute progressive rock track of the period.

	Electric Light Orchestra
		Dude still shows up from time to time, cranking the drums to ridiculous volumes and compressing everything to a slick, crystal clear buzz, just like every album he's had his hands on since the Nixon administration...you could never claim that Lynne was fickle with his sound, that's for sure.
		Apparently this is the 'concept' of this album, something about dreams and whatnot, but it's hard to follow considering that the entire middle section of the album just seems to be about big, sweeping orchestra noises.
		Time was the last flash of JL's greatness, and Kelly reeally should have listened to him about this one.

	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").
		Before that time, Lynne recalls, the band were being 'clever' for the purpose of being clever, making the songs long on purpose because that was the fashion.
		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).

	Urban Legends Reference Pages: Music (No Answer)
		After some delay while The Move wound down, the Electric Light Orchestra finally recorded their first album, which was released in the UK by Harvest in December 1971 and (in line with common practice for debut LPs by new groups) assigned the eponymous title of Electric Light Orchestra.
		Bevan confirms the story that the album was called "No Answer" in America due to a misunderstanding.
		In an odd coincidence, a similar mixup at about the same time resulted in a Byrds LP mistakenly being released with a title of Untitled.

		From the Electric Light Orchestra's inception from the ashes of the Move in 1970, bandleader Jeff Lynne's aim was to continue on the trail the Beatles had blazed, crafting pristine melodic pop against a backdrop of classical grandiloquence.
		This is a great Electric Light Orchestra album and hardly needs another 5-star review but there is one thing I want to say, especially to Amazon.
		Amazon has deleted all their Electric Light Orchestra band listings and replaced them with E.L.O. which, while it is a common one, is just an abbreviation for the band's name.

		The album's big hit, "Don't Bring Me Down," couldn't be called punk, or even new wave, but the in-your-face arrangement and snarling vocals do at least betray some hint of the more aggressive new music.

	CNN.com - An Electric return for Jeff Lynne - September 3, 2001
		LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- When asked why he titled the Electric Light Orchestra's first album in 15 years "Zoom," Jeff Lynne -- who is ELO, for all intents and purposes -- shrugs.
		But by the time "Balance of Power" came out, Lynne, 53, had gotten blissfully sidetracked with a different career -- producing.
		The result is "Zoom." The album was recorded over a 2 1/2-year period in Lynne's home studio and in rooms all over his large wood, stone and glass home.

	Electric Light Orchestra - Eldorado
		The orchestral interludes are not oppressive (except for the pompous prologue), and generally range from mildly pleasant to merely irrelevant.
		The underlying concept for the album comes straight from "Somewhere Over the Rainbow": the main character spends most of his time either daydreaming or wishing he could.
		As you might have guessed, the album is heavy on ballads; Lynne displays a feel for melody in songs like "Mister Kingdom" and "Eldorado" that would make a Bee Gee blush in envy.

	ELO - All Over the World: The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra (Album Review)
		In 1971, when Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) released its self-titled debut, the group appeared to be suffering from a multiple personality disorder.
		Not surprisingly, by the time that it recorded its sophomore effort Electric Light Orchestra II, the ensemble’s line-up had been revamped completely, leaving Lynne in full control.
		Despite these discrepancies, the sequencing on All Over the World: The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra is significantly smoother, and if one can live without a few key songs from the band’s repertoire, it’s actually the better of the two retrospectives.

	Jeff Lynne Song Database - Electric Light Orchestra - Showdown song analysis
		Despite the release of the first take of the song on the First Light Series: The Lost Planet set, it should be noted that the way ELO recorded, they first recorded the rhythm track (drums, bass, guitar, keyboards), then dubbed on the separately recorded vocals, and finally the strings.
		The strings at the time of the recording of Showdown were recorded by dubbing the string playing members' takes together multiple times to give the strings a full orchestra type of sound.
		There is a clue that at one point it was intended for the UK release of the album because in the lyric section of the original UK album sleeve (Warner Brothers, K56021), there is a large gap where the lyrics to Showdown could easily fit.

	Review: "Electric Light Orchestra: No Answer (remaster)" - Sea of Tranquility - The Web Destination for Progressive ...
		At this point the newly formed band Jeff Lynne, Roy Wood, and Bev Bevan (all from The Move) hadn't yet found their niche, but the music on this release purely was representative of the classical rock style that they intended to dive into.
		Amidst the haunting cellos, violins, french horns, guitars, keyboards, and drums was a band looking to start something magical, and as non-commercial as this album was, the seed was planted.
		The album ends with the poignant "Whisper in the Night", featuring a great vocal from Wood and somber cello and violin melodies.
