Electric Light Orchestra

Recorded at Musicland Studios, the work reflects the neon-drenched aesthetic of the early eighties. It successfully balances an ambitious science fiction story with the group knack for catchy pop hooks.

Drum machines drive the rhythm, marking a sharp departure from the band previous output. The result is a lonely and melancholic heart hidden within a sleek, electronic frame.
