Xanadu (From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Electric Light Orchestra
Production captures the shift from the late seventies disco era toward the synth-heavy sounds of the early eighties. The final product is a polished, high-fidelity experience that mirrors the grand ambition of major film music from the time.
One half of the record highlights the symphonic skills of the Electric Light Orchestra, while the other emphasizes the vocal range of their guest. It functions as a document of a high-budget project involving roller-disco themes and complex studio work.
