Description
Time is a concept album by Electric Light Orchestra released in 1981 through Jet Records. The album tells the story, through its songs and lyrics, of a man from the 1980s finding himself in the year 2095 and trying to come to terms with being unable to return and adjusting to his new surroundings. An immediate success upon its original release, Time would rank as the eighth highest charting album in the world for 1981.
The album’s sound influenced the band Brave Saint Saturn to create the astro-rock music genre. The musical style and theme of Time were echoed in later albums such as The Sophtware Slump by Grandaddy, who cited the album as a great influence; and Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robotsby The Flaming Lips. In an early 1980s Rolling Stone magazine interview, Steve Winwood said that ELO’s Time had influenced him. Ladyhawke has stated that ELO’s Time is one of her five favourite albums. In 1999, Cher sampled a synth sound from “Prologue” and “Epilogue” at the beginning of her #1 hit single “Believe”
