Electric Light Orchestra - Time (Double Album Restoration Side A)

In celebration of the album's 40th anniversary, we're excited to present a reconstruction of ELO's 'Time' in the double album format! This is based on the tracklist for a set of acetate discs dated May 20, 1981, containing what is believed to be two unheard ELO songs. This mix contains placeholders substituting the two unreleased tracks from the discs. To be very clear, it does not contain the actual tracks, but attempts to reconstruct the contents of the discs in a way that makes sense and is enjoyable to listen to. This is the fourth attempted upload of this reconstruction after repeated copyright blocks, so this time we have split it into four sides. We hope this is able to stay public on our channel! On Side A, the ethereal sound of "Prologue"'s synths lead into the rolling drum intro of "Twilight", where we are introduced to our time traveller and his seeming abduction from 1981. Having arrived in "Yours Truly, 2095", he encounters an IBM facsimile of his wife donning a jumpsuit and an icy personality. Soon, the fading cymbal crashes move into the pensive piano ballad "Ticket to the Moon", where the time traveller sorrowfully sings how much he already misses his home and the woman he left behind there. His melancholy is expressed in the misleadingly-upbeat "The Way Life's Meant to Be", where he discovers that all he ever knew has been long buried by the unstoppable, cascading waters of Time. --- TRACKLIST --- 00:00 - Prologue 01:15 - Twilight 04:57 - Yours Truly, 2095 08:09 - Ticket to the Moon 12:17 - The Way Life's Meant to Be --- CREDITS --- Mixed and mastered by The Plastic Tulips Original transitions and song remix created by Clayton B.
