    "Time" is a concept album that tells the story of a man who time travels from 1981 to 2095 and his struggle to make sense of the world he finds himself in, the people and things he misses, and his attempt to return. Really needs to be listened to as a whole to properly appreciate.

      My favorite ELO album - the public at large didn't get it, but the fans love the fact that the band eschewed horns and strings for synths. It's the first New Wave ELO album, and should have opened a new chapter in their career. Instead, it was only embraced half-way, and signalled a downturn in their popularity.

      They can still be appreciated by themselves. Yes, ideally, they would get MUCH more appreciation from the whole album, but... this will have to suffice. Maybe they will give the whole album a try? But they've reacted to MANY similar songs (that hinted at a larger, possibly more fantastic story), but I've yet to see them mention any deeper (longer) dives. The downside of reaction videos, I guess.

      Absolutely!! Originally conceived by Jeff Lynne as a double album but talked out of it by the record company, at least three songs were left out of the Euro and American releases. “ Julie Doesn’t Live here Anymore” is the best of this group. Some sources on UA-cam have the album in its entirety. Cheers to you Cletus for loving this album as I do.

Well worth listening to the whole album in one sitting and appreciating the story it tells. Always hoped someone would film the story with the album as a soundtrack.

    Back in 1981 this song was used as the theme song for an animation festival / conference called Daicon IV in Japan. You can find the video on UA-cam of the animation they created to go along with this song. It was created by a group of amateur animators. Many of the individuals, who would later come to create all of the interesting animated movies and shows from Japan, were inspired by this single animation. The music was a big part of that.

    Thank you so much for reacting to this one. As a teenager I was a huge ELO fan. The album Time was the first album I'd ever bought as soon as it came out (I remember reading about the new album in Musician magazine and calling a local record store every day for two weeks until they got it in). The first time I listened to it, I was kind of freaked out, because it both sounded like ELO and nothing at all like ELO. After a few more listens, it quickly became my favorite album of theirs. While I still listen to a lot of ELO songs from time to time, I regularly listen to this whole album still. There are definite influences from the Buggles, Devo, and others throughout the album. Whether you do a reaction video or not, try to make some time to listen to this whole album. It is an experience with some funny moments, sad moments, and clever moments in the story telling (releasing an album in 1981 that has lyrics about remembering the good ol' 1980s was brilliant to my high school brain back then...LOL).

    The whole album tells a story, you should experience it. The last song before Epilogue is Hold On Tight, the only "hit" off the album. Twilight did get a little radio play, for maybe a couple weeks before it faded away. For this lifelong ELO fan, this album was the culmination of their musical journey. It was also the first time I got to see them in concert. L.A. Forum, Ellen Foley opened. She is the female singer on Paradise by the Dashboard Light, and was the public defender on the first season of Night Court. That robotic voice in Prologue, they had a robot come out on stage and say that part right before the band came on.

      "Twilight" reached the Billboard Top 40. I would call that a hit. Similar chart performance to two hits from the prior ELO album "Discovery", which were "Confusion" and "Last Train To London". And "Mr Blue Sky" from their "Out Of The Blue" album. All peaked in the 30s.

      @@chuckhutton5087 - My prior message wasn't to say those two were the only hits from "Discovery". It was to say those two hits were comparable (chart performance wise) to "Twilight". The biggest hit from "Discovery" was "Don't Bring Me Down", which peaked at #4 and sold over a million copies. "Shine A Little Love" peaked at #8. And yes, as you can tell, I am truly a lifelong ELO fan. 🙂

    Can you imagine us, in the late 70's or start 80's on the dance floor, and having a party, and then the DJ puts this one on. We exploted in ecstasy and made all those funny moves. Lifted our dance partner off the floor, or got down on the floor and turned around. We loved it.

    I agree it's a trippy song but it is from one of their concept albums. I love "Yours Truly 2095" on this album which immediately follows "Twilight" . It's a great concept album talking about someone from 1981 (when the album was released) experiencing life in 2095.

    E.L.O.'s "Time" is one of my all time favorite albums, it's like if Beatles did an 80's album with the help of the guys in Queen. My favorite track is "Ticket To The Moon", and it's one of the albums I've listened to from start to finish the most times. And I see myself as a metalhead... And for those E.L.O.-fans who haven't heard "Julie Don’t Live Here" from the same era, you definitely should. ;)

    Electric Light Orchestra's "Prologue" + "Twilight" is a nostalgic trip to the dawn of electronic music! In the early '80s, microprocessor-powered synthesizers and Moog instruments were revolutionizing sound, and ELO was at the forefront. Band members like Richard Tandy were particularly nerdy about these innovations, pushing the boundaries of what synth music could achieve. These tracks capture the magic of a time when technology and music were just starting to merge in spectacular ways!

    This is a real album from the old days which means the order of the songs was very carefully considered and mapped out. You have to hear the whole album.
    That last bit that seems weird is because album were continuous in the old days and that’s the intro to the next song “Yours Truly 2095.”

    I use the album Time as my energizer and "pick me up" at work whenever I have some tedious task to get through. By the time I get to "Hold on tight to your dream" it is time to take a break, get up, and do a little dance. "Yours truly 2095" is maybe my favourite because the lyrics are hilarious. ("...she's also a telephone...."). They really looked into the future! 🤣 And by the way, the end of "Twilight" is just the start of the next song. The trippy journey has just begun....

The songs take you on an adventure as the protagonist is pulled from 1981 into the future of 2095, and then his misadventures as he tries to make it Home. Its a really good album!

Some finger popping songs like, "The Way Life's meant to be," and the "The Light's Go Down (with a lil elo reggae)." And a few songs with with Electronic energy like "Here Is The News," "Yours Truly, 2095," and "From The End of The World." A dynamite sound from a dynamic band. They brought some new approaches to their music in 1981. ty again.

    This is from ELO's Time album and it is a really cool concept album. Almost every track is stacked! It is basically about the lead singer who gets picked up in a space ship and is taken into the future. The problem is he misses his girlfriend ever so. I mean in the future there are only machines that ask is that what you want? The whole album is a message from the future to his girlfriend trying to explain how sad he is that they are separated. Twilight is neither this nor that. It is neither day time nor night time. He adds it is either real or it is a dream there is nothing that is in between - twilight! Of course, twilight is in between. Great song! Great album! You need to give the whole thing a listen! I think you did another song from this album: Hold on Tight, which was a bit of a hit and used in a commercial for coffee. I love You, Sincerely is another great song from this album.

    • @chuckhutton5087

      “I Love You, Sincerely “ is a line from the song which they heard the very beginning of after Prologue and Twilight titled “ Yours Truly 2095”. Tremendous song which sets the tone for a superb album; one of my top 10 ever. My roommate and I wore this vinyl out shortly after its release, had it blaring in the barracks on our Air Force base in Alaska in ‘82. This album among others made that remote assignment more bearable.Kudos to Jeff Lynne and ELO!! This album did not get the acclaim it deserved because critics felt it was too much of a departure from the norm. Pity.
