Out Of The Blue Is One Of Those Albums That Everyo
Out of the Blue is one of those albums that everyone should own. The cover (it's gatefold on vinyl) conjures up images of Spielberg's Close Encounters and Lucas' Star Wars (all came to be at around the same time)
Vastly underrated, and full to the brim with glorious, inventive, beautiful and melodic beatlesque music, a tune for every occasion, a song for every mood
highlights...the barn stomping Turn to Stone, the glorious sparky's magic piano moments of Mr. Blue Sky, the sweet violins of Sweet Talkin' Woman. The haunting Believe Me Now, the Disneyesque Jungle and the brilliant breathtaking Concerto for a Rainy Day....why (other than Xanadu) did this man not compose more film music?

The Elo's Music Is Considerably Different To Most
The ELO's music is considerably different to most mainstream bands of it's time. In my opinion ELO Out of the Blue album does not get the credit it deserves.
Although other ELO albums such as 'A New World' are much better, this is undoubtdly a fantastic album, which has everything to suit different moods, from easy listening to more faster pace tracks such as Mr Blue Sky, one of my favourites.
If you are a first time ELO listener then I would definitely recommend this album, only after hearing some of ELO's more famous records to fully appreciate the genius of this album.
