Unsurpassed

"ELO's 'Time' is unsurpassed as the epitome of melodic, atmospheric and sensitive music. For me, 'Time' has never been bettered by any band in either its formative or compositional sense or its arrangement. I love it - I never tire of it. I can listen to it repeatedly and hear echo's of everything from Puccini to the Beatles, from the Rolling Stones to Rachmaninov. And of course, that is why Jeff Lynne makes such wonderful music, he has an enormous knowledge, appreciation and understanding of what makes lovely music and song. He has consciously and instinctively taken the qualities of the best aspects of popular music from every era. He knows what makes a good tune, and how to compliment it to its fullest with a top composition and arrangement - he is never frugal, he gives it all to us in one overwhelming and saturating delivery. 'Time' is the pinnacle, never disappointing and never failing to deliver - every track has its own special quality so that collectively the album is nothing short of miraculous. Wonderful stuff, and in future years will be afforded the accolades it deserves.
