What was "Saturday Night Fever" for the Bee Gees was "Time" recorded in Germany Munich 1981 for ELO, an stunning outstanding masterpiece, very tune a banger way beyond hs time and from another planet and in my option the best album ever from Jeff from Birmingham the Mozart of Modern Pop Music 🪐 🍾🤩
I love the Time album, its a whole story, a love story about a man who is either flung into 2095 or he is dreaming it and just wants to get back to 1981 where his love is his wife or girlfriend. Great stuff. ELO are simply a magical group and Jeff Lynne is genius.

I’ve been a ELO fan since the first song I heard Telephone Line was played on the radio. This album holds a special place in my heart. It’s the first TIME I ever saw ELO in concert in Philly in 1981. Best concert I ever seen and heard! 💜💜💜
@@bobuk161 I was at the Wembley gig Dec 10 1981, a year after John's assassination. He did a tribute to John and it was peerless. They played 27 songs. Long ago and far away and so much better than it is today.
always was one of my fav elo songs vis album track, time was knda futuristic whn realeased in 81, stikk sounds fairly fresh i tink, so hes writing in 80 bout himself in v future looking back at v gd ole daysa back in v 80s clever.
Thanks Harri (and Cosmo). So glad you've finally reached 'Time', which despite being a UK #1 album, arrived when ELO's commercial peak had passed. I think out of all ELO's albums - this is the one that has matured the most. In fact I would say it is a largely undiscovered masterpiece. While it lacks some of hte band's trademarks (e.g. swapping strings for synths) Jeff's song writing is at his very best. It's superb listened to in one sitting but if you have to take it in small bites, try Twilight, Rain is Falling and Here is the News.
There's an outtake track from the Time album called "When Time Stood Still" which, if you watch "Interstellar" it explains the reality of the time/space continuum; so the girl would never have made it as time stood still for him and moved on for her. There's another outtake song called "Julie Don't Live Here" which fits at the end of the album, the song title tells you all you need to know
Richard Tandy doesn't get enough credit for his keyboards and piano. To me he's like a Richard Wright from Pink Floyd. This album should be listened to in it's entirety, it's a worthy endeavor.
@@Posteo1983 Creo que te refieres a la "Sonata a la luz de la luna" de Beethoven, pero sí, podría ser la inspiración para la introducción del piano. "Claro de Luna" es de Debussy.
It was released in 1981 in the US and 1982 in the UK. The prosperity period is at its end and the lead singer is lamenting for the 80s? Anyway it speaks of the baby boomer's great impact of the 70s.
Hola. Un gusto. " Ticket to the Moon " ( "Pasaje a la Luna " ) : Está canción , single del álbum conceptual " Time " ( 1981 ) , está - me parece - basada en la melodía " Claro de Luna " - Beethoven. Es un tema precioso , emotivo y reflexivo , acerca de los peligros a los que se enfrentan los viajeros estelares . Gracias por mostrarlo y analizarlo. De verdad. Recomiendo - del mismo álbum - temas hermanos de esta bella balada : " When time stood still " ( " Cuando el tiempo se detuvo " ) - Lado B. " Rain is falling " ( " Cae la lluvia " ) - Single en EE.UU. " 21 st century man " ( " Hombre del siglo 21 " ) Un abrazo cordial , maestro. Saludos desde Chile , Sudamérica.
Hari should listen to the Album in its entirety as it tells the story of this man’s journey. He can then react and realize Jeff Lynne’s genius in the albums creation!
The "Time" album was recorded in 1981, Jeff Lynne did away with ELO's string section after the "Discovery" album in 1979. Violinist Mik Kaminski was kept on for live performances when he played violin and sometimes Moog synthesiser on the stage. Jeff Lynne decided that the two cellists, Hugh McDowell and Melvyn Gale were no longer required.
A very prophetic Jeff Lynne composition Harri as is the concept and prophetic "Time" album in its entirety. I loved it back in the 80s when it was released and love and appreciate it even more now with each and every listen. "Time" is/was not universally liked by E.L.O. aficionados due to the continuation in the evolution of the E.L.O. sound that strayed away from the sound of the 70s yet every track has Jeff's distinctive layering and subtlety that reveals itself with each and every listen. Thank you for your reaction. Paul :)
"Time" is a concept album and tells a story if you listen to it in its entirety. I highly recommend you give the whole album a listen. You won't be sorry!
It does sound different than the '70s stuff you've listened to before. This is '80s ELO. The band was reduced to a 4 piece, no more violin or cello players, and more reliance on synths. They did cool stuff in the '80s but for me the '70s formula was their best. Even in recent years Jeff made a comeback to his classic sound with new material, still can't beat the '70s. The concerts though are awesome.
This is reminiscent of the Moody Blues album 'To Our Children's Children's Children'. The song, 'Higher and Higher' comes into mind, in particular. I could only imagine what a double bill concert with those two, back in the day, would have been like!!
The prolog and song Twilight, really cool robotic voice saying I have a message from another time, just a great album obviously I can't say enough about it. Lol. Cheers
This album was a change-up for ELO, it took time to grow on me, I missed the strings on some songs. Good concept album though, a real grower. Their last 2 "Secret Messages" and "Balance of Power" weren't as good in my opinion.
For me it was quite the opposite, probably because Time was the first ELO album I heard beginning to end, uninterrupted, back in 81. (I had probably heard some other songs on the radio before, but didn't have any idea about the group then.) It resonated in my mind immediately. I then bought two albums on cassette, Greatest Hits and On The Third Day, expecting something similar. Of course it was very different, in particular OTTD, but I loved it all the same, and was amazed by the diversity.
@@HarriBestReactions Hi Harri. What Bruce is talking about is the context I provided in the two pages of copy that was supposed to be an Intro shown before the song started. Placing it at the end where you moved it to does no good. I didn't prepare it to promote my interpretation of the song, I prepared it for YOU, and for any viewers who are not familiar with the song or album, so that you guys would have the context you needed to understand and fully appreciate the song. If you don't like the silence at the beginning while my page or two of copy is on the screen, no worries, then I suggest you read along out loud what I've written. It only takes 20 - 40 seconds. It's obviously too late for this reaction, but going forward, whaddya say? :)
@@Cosmo-Kramer Im lost.What do you mean by "promoting interpretation"? What is there to promote?? I stated clearly to the viewers what your note was.If they had any questions,all would be answered at the end.Thats not so bad. When you check the message i left for you on the community page,you will understand why i took that action.I obviously dont wanna reveal that here...You probably wont agree now 🤔
@@HarriBestReactions Sure, let me explain. You led into my 2-pages of copy at the end of the video by saying, "As a bonus, here is Cosmo's interpretation of the song." Well, it's not my interpretation of the song, it's Jeff Lynne's interpretation of the song. And so what I was saying in my previous reply was that I didn't prepare it as a means to promote (in other words, share) my interpretation just for the sake of letting folks know what I thought the song was about. No, not at all. I researched Jeff Lynne's commentary on the song, so that I could present it to you up front, Harri, given you have no familiarity with the song or the concept album from which it came. And also for your viewers who are similarly unfamiliar with it. And this is what Bruce is talking about above--that the song NEEDS context in order to understand it and fully appreciate it. I did it so you would have the context you needed to give the song a proper reaction. Not all songs require such context. But this one did. Does that make sense now?
I like the reaction, but you are right, if any ELO record is supposed to be listened to from beginning (Prologue) to end (Epilogue), it is Time. It is a progressive album in the strictest sense. When the song faded, my brain was preparing for _The Way Life's Meant To Be_ - I guess I'll have to listen to the whole album before I go to bed, as I feel so "unfulfilled" now.
How about a change of pace, by reacting to something from 2021. Here are a few songs I think you’ll like: William Doyle “Nothing at All” (2021, lyrics only video) and Flock of Dimes “Price of Blue" & "Awake for the Sunrise” (2021, live video).
No. Don't take me back to 80s The political situation was horrible in Liverpool. Not so simple as ELO said. But a good song with Moonlight Sonata by Bethoven for starters. Beethoven influeed opening ?
Man you must listen to the entire album. Perfection sir.
PERFECTION. No such thing as a bad ELO song.
Finally! Someone has reacted to ELO's most underrated but greatest tune. Thank you. :)
Dosn't sound like The Whale to me. The Whale will never be topped.
Just a bunch of racket to me. Disappointing.
@@kenperk9854 e allora xche non ti fai i cazzi tuoi
Such a hauntingly romantic song.
Melancholic and beautiful.
This song really showcases Jeff's beautiful voice 😍
Beautiful.This song is so ahead of its time.ELO' s music is futuristic.
Eternal.
Omg. I'm so glad you're doing this fantastic song

Love this song and love the ELO "Time" album ❤
One of my favorite isolation songs. Love Bev Bevan's drums, the harmonies. This was the album where ELO toned down the strings.
My favorite ELO song 👍
