IF you like ELO's "OUT OF THE BLUE" album... Mr. Blue Sky, Turn To Stone, etc... Try THIS!

You will LOVE this video re-make.....

this song is absolutely FANTASTIC....

- the song is from the 2001 ELO album "Zoom", but has been remixed,

Now it sounds very 1977-ish!! Like it's from "OUT OF THE BLUE" album.. eek



I wonder if Jeff Lynne is responcible for this brilliant re-make???


Oh dear, I love this song. heart cool

Sounds great. I love the strings in it. It definately sounds like it belongs on Out Of The Blue now.

Electric Light Orchestra is one of my favorite all time bands. In fact, today I had the the "Concerto For A Rainy Day" section of Out Of The Blue playing in the car around town. One of Jeff Lynne's most prolific periods. The guy kept writing and writing and Out Of The Blue was a result of that. He's been remastering a lot of those older albums with new artwork, liner notes, and bonus tracks.

I've not listened to the song yet.

Time is the album that really got me into ELO, and it's ironic because being an orchestra homo at the time for years in school, Time had very little strings on it. I sort of knew older songs, but that album got me hooked. Out Of the Blue is classic. It was a prolific period for Lynne. He said "I just couldn't stop writing". Stuff like the "Concerto For A Rainy Day" four-song stretch on side of the album is full on proof of that. I still have that LP. It came with a space ship and tower, that you punched out of perforated card stock, and folded it into shape.
