Last but not least, the almost constant pounding rhythm creates more boredom than excitement or interest. It gets a little worse with "Ma-Ma-Ma Belle". Another kind of uninspired rocker who keeps appearing on ELO's discs.
If that had been ten years later, the piece would definitely be the highlight of the disc. But here, on "On The Third Day" from , it is one of the worse pieces. But Jeff Lynne hadn't quite run out of powder on the third album. Because an absolute highlight awaits the listener in the song catalog of the Electric Light Orchestra.
Again held quieter, only to pick up speed and inspire. There are many rhythm changes during this piece, the whole thing provided with beautiful melodies. And with this title, too, the strings are given the necessary space and they too contribute to this wonderful listening experience. However, if you want to listen to "In The Hall Of The Mountain King " by Edvard Grieg, it is clearly better to listen to this piece in the correct, classical instrumentation.
This piece also became an integral part of the band's live performances. One wonders: "Why? Even if "On The Third Day" is somehow a mix of the first two records and the later, more poppy albums, it turned out to be a good album.
Here some songs still sound progressive and the pop pieces are titles of the better kind that can also please. This record is also quite successful and has nothing to do with disco and cheap pop. If you like the first two ELO albums, you will also be able to do something with the third one.
But back to "No Answer": Half of the songs each came from Wood and Lynne, and the stylistic differences between the two are quite clear. Roy Wood's compositions are clearly more experimental than Lynne's. Weird melodies, driven by a powerful, scratchy cello, determine his songs, accompanied by creaking woodwind instruments. Sometimes it gets very chaotic, like in "Battle of Marston Moor", a largely unstructured piece with spoken text.
Even more melodic pieces like "Look at me now" are suddenly interrupted by dissonant sequences, sometimes even a bit of a Gentle giant feeling emerges. Jeff Lynne's songs, on the other hand, already suggest the later ELO sound.
He puts a lot more emphasis on beautiful melodies without making his songs sound smooth. Last but not least, Roy Wood's omnipresent scratchy cello gives the pieces clear corners and edges. Unfortunately, this ELO line-up was short-lived, Roy Wood left the group immediately after the publication of "No Answer" and founded his own formation "Wizard". The songs on this album, with the exception of " Overture", quickly disappeared from ELO's live repertoire.
It's a shame, because "No Answer" is a great album with a lot of weird ideas, without the pathos and bombast of many other prog records. That lovely, orchestral passage at the beginning just really sets the stage for the album and the feelings of melancholia warm breezes blowing through a car window in the early evening are very strong, but the music only evokes those feelings. Even the contrast with a more rock-ish style once the vocals start, the contrast between the orchestral part and the heavier part just flows so smoothly.
I'm not a huge fan of "Rockaria! Then "Mission" brings back the melancholic style again with an edge of mystery surrounding it and the "alien" theme that goes with it. Again, warm summer nights come to mind. The 2nd half begins with the two main singles from the album, both of which were still nice sounding artsy pop and always pleased the ear when they were played on the radio.
The funk albeit a bit plastic sounding of the goofy "So Fine" and the nice, smoother sounds of "Livin' Thing" that even throws in a bit of dissonance to show that Jeff Lynne still used a bit of risky sound, yet pulled off a hit anyway.
This helped launch the nascent long-form music video market. The song's videos marked the last appearance for the band's string players. The Electric Light Orchestra are one of the most successful British bands of all time. Formed after the break up of The Move in they pioneered the integration of orchestral instruments into pop music and released a series of groundbreaking and increasingly successful albums through the seventies that culminated in the multi-million selling Out Of The Blue.
This concert is from the world tour for that album and was filmed at Londons Wembley Arena in Track List 1. Opening 2. Standing In The Rain 3. Night In The City 4. Turn To Stone 5. Tight Rope 6. Telephone Line 7.
