I really like this Si - I'm not sure I hear much Jeff Lynne and ELO influence in it though... what made you cite them as influences?

The guitar reminds me of Dave Stewart's full-on solo guitar sound he used with his 'Spiritual Cowboys' - and I really like the vocal harmonies and the arrangements in general.

Great job!

Cheers,
Terry.

Dunno - I'm listening to a HELL of a lot of ELO at the moment, so I thought I'd mention them.  I'm referring to VERY EARLY ELO - pre-"Eldorado"-era.  Glad you like it, though!!!

More tracks on the way!!!  ;)

Well, thanks to you I spent the journey to work this morning listening to 'On The Third Day'. This was the earliest album that didn't sound so manically, wonderfully eccentric as the earlier two - and to me it's always been the transition album for their production too. Eldorado was so much more polished and you can tell that the production side began to matter more to JL on this album.

Anyway - enough waffle about someone else's music on your thread... sorry!

Cheers,
Terry.

I love "On the Third Day" & "Eldorado" so much!!!  Along with the masterpiece "Out of the Blue", they are my favourite ELO albums.

The track I'm working on now, "Solar Wind Sailor", is definitely influenced by "Oh No Not Susan".

Well this album,s gonna be intrestin' when it's written in the  style of ELO"s pre-recognition albums.

That's a cool thing to do.............use their style in a way the record companies, found irresistible right from the word go. Short cuts getting to the good stuff. Bravo

Yeah, Branston P - but it's not as conscious as that!  The track I'm working on at the moment sounds nothing like ELO from ANY era!   :cool:
