Electric Light Orchestra
Eldorado
Review by Gary Hill
This album is an intriguing one. It doesn’t have a lot of the polished hit making that would later be part of ELO, but it is recognizable instantly as Electric Light Orchestra. The blend of symphonic music, rock and prog is very effective here. I like this album a lot, really. It should be noted that I reviewed a couple of these tracks on an ELO compilation disc. For the sake of consistency, those track reviews are included here.
