The 1981 album 'Time' saw ELO trading their signature string sections for synthesizers, a bold move into the burgeoning synth-pop and new wave sound of the era. This was a concept album that found Jeff Lynne envisioning a futuristic space odyssey, a dramatic departure from the band's previous work.
- The album's lead single, "Twilight," reached number 3 on the UK charts.
- "Time" reached number 32 on the Billboard 200 chart in the United States.
- The album was produced by Jeff Lynne and recorded at Musicland Studios in Munich and Wisseloord Studios in Hilversum.
Electric Light Orchestra was a British rock band known for its fusion of Beatles-inspired pop, symphonic arrangements, and futuristic production. At the time of "Time," the band was shifting towards a more synth-pop sound, moving away from their earlier orchestral rock.
