My favorite song from the Electric Light Orchestra from the Album TIME (1981)
Journey to my childhood. ✨
In the early 1980s, my father was lucky to get an AMIGA license album from ELO. It wasn't easy in the GDR. The album was my first contact with synthesizer sounds. The initial spark, so to speak, long before New Wave music aroused my interest. I kept putting the record on and the songs burned into my brain.

I used here the Oberheim OB-Xa Synthesizer for the pads, string sounds and the main synth riff. The bass is made with the Moog Taurus.
And I used the Roland VP-330 Vocoder Plus for the vocoder voices and string/choir sounds . The piano sound is made with the Yamaha Reface CP"
