Just on the border... of your waking mind...

ShawnRaven

There lies... Another time
Where darkness & light are one
And as you tread the halls of sanity
You feel so glad to be
Unable to go beyond
I have a message
From another time...

OH COME ON! Tell me i'm not the only one who appreciates Electric Light Orchestra.

No video, but after seeing some of their Wembley gig footage from 78, i'd have LOVED to have been at that gig.

Sadly, I was only two.

Awesome.
Used to love that tune until a rake of TV advertisements started using it.

That said, the conclusion instrumental of that song is the best part of it.

My Dad got me into these when I was a young lad.

A very good mate of mine got me into them when I was 14. Scarier thing is, he was younger than me.

Ah I'd completely forgotten about that sh*te. Must have tried to block it from my memory.

Oh i tried, trust me i tried. But it's gone the way of Chris Cornell's R&B Career.

You know it's just wrong, shouldn't have happened but you'll never fully forget it.

You're very welcome indeed!
I actually got my hands on the remasters of Time and Secret Messages the other day. Two of their later albums before the band disintegrated. I've always been a fan of Time to be honest, i liked the concept behind it. And the fact that here we are now approaching 2010, and life has literally imitated art.

"I met someone who looks a lot like you, she does the things you do, but she is an IBM"

Yup, Jeff Lynne among others saw this sh*t coming back in 1981.

I've never heard Secret Messages but I do have Time. Last year I was at a car boot sale somewhere in Dublin and picked up a binch of ELO Vinyls for €2 or something: Eldorado, Time, Out of The Blue, Discovery, On The Third Day, Face The Music, Greatest hits, and I think maybe one or two more. Not bad!

Turntable, pah!
Find the remaster, it comes with the b-sides of the singles.
