{"product_id":"electric-light-orchestra-time","title":"Electric Light Orchestra - Time","description":"\u003cp\u003eELO swapped strings for synthesizers and the present day for the future on Time, a 1981 concept album pressed here on 140-gram vinyl with a download card.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJeff Lynne built the record around a man from the eighties who finds himself stranded in the year 2095, longing for the life and the love he left behind. Recorded mostly at Musicland in Munich, it marked a sharp turn away from the lush orchestral sound of Out of the Blue and Discovery toward gleaming electronics and robotic vocal effects, without losing Lynne's gift for a Beatles-sized melody.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwilight bursts out of the gate with racing vocals and cascading hooks, a song that later found a second life in Japanese anime fandom. Yours Truly, 2095 introduces a futuristic love interest in the form of a robot companion, and Ticket to the Moon is a sweeping, melancholy ballad of escape. Hold On Tight, a rockabilly-flavoured stomp, became the album's big hit single.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere Is the News and 21st Century Man fill out the tale with paranoia and longing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album has gathered a cult following among retro-futurism fans over the years, and it plays beautifully as a single, start-to-finish story, best heard with the lights down and the volume up.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67763398181154,"sku":"889853708819","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/Electric_Light_Orchestra-Time.jpg?v=1794324417","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/electric-light-orchestra-time","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
