So I was especially concerned when he was saying there was no high end (he won’t even listen to it any more!). Frank is a club DJ and he has a pretty nice Stereo system but its not any sort of super high end set up of the sort many of you are listening on.

My buddy Frank called me up the day he received his CD of From Out Of Nowhere in the mail and he was aghast. Heck, its not even as dynamic as the last album, Alone In The Universe. This is not the dynamic ELO sound you loved on Out of the Blue, New World Record and Eldorado. But since this is Audiophile Review, I feel its my (ahem) sonic duty to alert you to some possible issues you may experience if you buy this album.įirst off, don’t expect to hear much in the way of high end sparkle on this album. And once you get used to that thing, it’s OK and you just can focus on the songs. The particular sound flavor on From Out Of Nowhere is… well… a thing. At its root this revolves around simple clutter-free rock drum patterns. They are also of a particular flavor, a production style that some of you might recognize on recordings he produced with The Traveling Wilburys, Tom Petty and even The Beatles. Like a 21st Century Les Paul-meets-Todd-Rundgren, Lynne’s productions are mostly meticulous. Here in about 30 minutes you get ten tasty new ELO-flavored tunes which are catchy, hooky, heartfelt and driving as one might hope. From Out Of Nowhere continues Jeff’s process of self-crafting every instrument as on his last several recordings. I’ll begin this review from a glass half full perspective when listening to the musically fine new record by Jeff Lynne, founder of The Electric Light Orchestra and producer of everyone from Tom Petty to The Beatles.
