spectrum. Fantastic ? play it loud; play it again.
The sound quality is great on both formats. The video imagery is perfect. The introductory sequence and ?Confusion? take forward the motif of the album cover into a video production. Ali Baba climbs out of the stone jar to claim the ELO jewel. It would be worth buying the DVD just for this production (although with the concert it has a playing time of 101 minutes).
If you missed them the first time around and haven?t heard of ELO before, ?Discovery? is a great introduction. If you are already a fan, then the DVD is a ?must have? addition to your collection. It?s a pity other video producers do not take full advantage of the capacity of this medium in similar fashion.
You should be able to find copies of the DVD at Amazon or CD-NOW.

ELO's "Time" album reached no.1 in the UK album charts in August 1981. Three singles were released from the album, the first of which was "Hold On Tight" reaching no.4 in August 1981, the second was "Twilight" which got to no.30 in October 1981, and the last was a double-A side, "Ticket To The Moon/Here Is The News", making no.24 in January 1982.
This album is performed and produced in what was considered a futuristic fashion, both in the area of electronically-generated music and sound-effects, and the words.
I have been searching the internet for various interpretations, hopefully accurate ones, on ELO's "Time" album, but have come across so very many conflicting views and reviews, that I feel I ought to ...

Well I thought I would start the new year on a happy note by reviewing a lively old album by a lively(ish) old group - The Electric Light Orchestra (or, as their friends and fans know them, ELO).
Was it a Christmas present? No folks, I actually went out and bought this myself. Make of that what you will! It was a mere case of, I had a version of their Greatest Hits on vinyl (or an LP to those of us who remember them), but I decided I ought to listen to these guys on a piece of modern equipment - namely a CD!
