@Elish UH jams: that's certainly the relativist view of things, which I don't subscribe to. However, I wasn't making some sort of era-based criticism of other "styles." I'm talking about the fact that ELO's songs almost always emphasized melody, both instrumental and vocal, to a degree that most other bands never approach. It's an overload of exquisite note-sequencing that takes the brain on an amazing ride. I'll definitely say that music that just kinda thumps along with little variance pales in comparison.
@echt1144 жыл бұрын
@Elish UH jams: No problem, my first comment was pretty short and absolute. I was probably also thinking a little about some criticism ELO has gotten over the years for their lyrics. That's never bothered me because I love their stuff for the musical part more than anything.

Lynne employed the LSO and its chorus for most of his bigger productions. There is evidence in some songs, I forget which, where you can hear them stopping and laying down their instruments because they adhered to the strict union requirement to never go past a certain time. Lynne would have to cover them during post-recording production.

Jeff Lyanne has an amazing voice, the instruments are always on point and the album covers are pretty cool looking. Especially the one with the painting 😏. Jokes aside these men make great music.

JOHN LENNON CALLED ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA (ELO) THE SONS OF THE BEATLES TAKING MUSIC TO ANOTHER LEVEL..." THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVE DONE THINGS WE NEVER DID." FOLLOWING THE RECORDING OF CLOUD NINE WITH LYNNE, GEORGE HARRISON SAID: "JEFF LYNNE MADE ME A BETTER SINGER, HE HAS SUCH A GREAT VOICE." RINGO STARR SAID THE FOLLOWING IN 2012: "I DON'T BELIEVE JEFF UNDERSTANDS HOW MUCH EMOTION COMES ACROSS FROM HIS SINGING...IT'S A BEAUTIFUL INSTRUMENT HE HAS AND HE KNOWS HOW TO WORK IT BETTER THAN ANYBODY."

Love this .. the whole of side 3 in fact… however the moment where the strings descend to just cellos in a few moments is utterly stunning.

Friends, between 2:05 and 2:10 we hear Jeff hitting a very high note, and it's simply one of the most beautiful musical sounds in history. Could his voice be any lovelier? It showed so much feeling.

Big wheels...brilliant. Makes small problems insignificant as it reminds me of the big picture, planets moving on and on through time, our wowed small. I always play star light, followed by believe me now, then followed by stepping out, standing in the rain, big wheels, summer and lightening and that’s me sorted mentally, to remind me of the bigger picture..it transports me to major mountain ranges, mountaineering in every weather condition imaginable.. Connects me with nature again....always dreamed Jeff would do an album based on oceanography after the brilliance of concerto for a rainy day nd the whale as well.

This song holds a special place to me and many others, as many know. It brings forth emotions that some hardly feel, yet for those that feel them often, it emboldens them. A truly well done piece, with hardly any comparison to others.

"I remember the dead of night!!!" That gut-wrenching, lamenting cry gets me every time. I've been the guy "Out there in the pouring rain" for just a glimpse of her through "the lonely light that shines upon the window".

The intro is the motif heard several times throughout the album, including the end of Mr. Blue Sky!
