A24 4,326 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I can't seem to shake this song this week. The backing vocals together the zither ... Fleetwood Mac or ... when chart music was still good. Is that Lindsey Buckingham on the guitar at the end of the song? Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,493 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 It's a great track @Alexcremers, from what is generally known as "the forgotten Mac record". Personally, I like MIRAGE. I liked it enough to splash out on the box set 18 months ago. On 17/04/2018 at 11:30 PM, Muad'Dib said: "Sheer bloody poetry" (The Times) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,493 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Woah! What an underrated record! BEETHOVEN (I LOVE TO LISTEN TO) is fantastic. IMO, it doesn't quite reach the heights of BE YOURSELF TONIGHT, but, in a strange way, its a successor to 1984. At the very least, its better than REVENGE, by a country mile.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 The arrival of warm weather this week means it's officially the start of ELO season. I'm a bit of an ELO obsessive. My ranking of their albums I just threw together in 30 seconds 1. Time 2. Out of the Blue 3. A New World Record 4. Discovery 5. Eldorado 6. Face the Music 7. On the Third Day 8. Secret Messages 9. The Electric Light Orchestra 10. Xanadu Side 2 11. Balance of Power 12. ELO 2 13. Alone in the Universe 14. Zoom (the last two don't really count as ELO albums IMO, but are Jeff Lynne solo albums he credited as ELO for marketability. Still enjoyable listens both) ((If I was cheeky I'd have included The Move's Message to the Country)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,493 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 A toughie! I'd reverse 2 and 3, because, imho, A NEW WORLD RECORD is far more "mature" than OUT OF THE BLUE. Ok, so OOTB has THE WHALE, and BIRMINGHAM BLUES, but ANWR has TIGHTROPE, and SHANGRI-LA, but then TIME has ANOTHER HEART BREAKS, TWILIGHT, and HERE IS THE NEWS... Agh! I'd love to hear the proposed 2 LP set of SECRET MESSAGES. Ps, you are exactly right about ZOOM: it's terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 10 years ago, Out of the Blue would've been my number 1. I love it because it's the most "ELO" album ELO ever made. It can be brilliant and frustrating, concise and long-winded, fun and a bit tiresome. It's basically their White Album in that way. The fullest representation of the band. But Time just kept working its way into my heart. My sentimental favorite. The deep cut that only true fans recognize the brilliance of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,493 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Agreed, in every sense. I took to TIME from the moment I bought it, in 1981. For me, it was their most "immediate" record, and, like you say, it's a deep cut. Don't get me wrong; I like OOTB. I just can't forgive Lynne for JUNGLE (can they dance?!).

Speaking of deep cuts, Balance of Power may be a not-great album but "So Serious" is totally one of their best ever singles. Along with "The Lights Go Down" from Time I also see it is a precursor to Lynne's late 80s Full Moon Fever/Traveling Wilburys sound.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Yeah I thought that Bleachers album was pretty good! A little slickly produced for my usual taste, but can't deny the talent. Pink is very much a bizarro skeevy outsider artist who likes to be intentionally off-putting, but then randomly has these absolutely glorious melodies in the middle of the grime. Let just say, guaranteed no famous actors will ever appear in one of his videos. I like it because it's so proudly weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
