ʻO kēia kekahi o nā hui pōhaku kaulana, hoihoi a mahalo ʻia i ka mōʻaukala o nā mele kaulana. I loko o ka biography o ka Electric Light Orchestra, aia nā hoʻololi i ke ʻano o ke ʻano, ua haki a hōʻuluʻulu hou, māhele ʻia i ka hapalua a hoʻololi nui i ka helu o nā mea komo.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo John Lennon, ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o nā mele no ka mea ua kākau ʻia nā mea a pau e Jeff Lynne.
ʻO ka mea e mahalo ai, ʻo ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o ka penultimate a me nā album studio hope loa o ka Electric Light Orchestra he 14 mau makahiki!
Ua hiki i kekahi mau mea hoʻokani ke hana a hiki i ka ʻumi mau moʻolelo i kēia manawa a loaʻa ke kālā maikaʻi ma luna o lākou. Akā hiki i ka hui ke hōʻeha i nā mea pā no ka manawa lōʻihi me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i kahi hoʻokuʻu hou.
I kēia manawa, ʻo ELO ka mea mele a me ka mea hoʻokani pila ʻo Jeff Lynn, a me ka mea hoʻokani pila ʻo Richard Tandy. I ka hoʻomakaʻana o ka hoʻokumuʻana i ka hui o nā mea hoʻokani pila, ua nui aku ka nui o ka hui. A ma keʻano laulā, ua like ka hui me ka hua'ōlelo hope ma ke poʻo.
Pehea i hoʻomaka ai me ELO?
ʻO ka manaʻo e hana i kahi hui pōhaku me ka hoʻohana nui ʻana i nā kaula kahiko a me nā mea kani keleawe i hoʻomaka ʻia i ka makahiki 1970 me Roy Wood (lala o The Move).
ʻO ka mea hoʻokani pila a me ka mea mele ʻo Jeff Lynn (The Idle Race) i makemake nui i kēia manaʻo o Roy.
Hoʻokumu ʻia ka Electric Light Orchestra ma The Move. A hoʻomaka ʻo ia e hoʻomaʻamaʻa pono i nā mea hou. ʻO ka mele mua loa o ka hui hou ʻo "10538 Overture". I ka huina, 9 mau haku mele i mākaukau no ka hoʻomaka.
He mea hoihoi no ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ka disc ma ka ʻāina ʻē ma lalo o ka inoa ʻAʻohe pane. Ua loaʻa ka hewa ma muli o ke kamaʻilio kelepona ma waena o kahi limahana hōʻailona United Artists Records a me ke kākau ʻōlelo o ka luna hui. Ke ho'āʻo nei e hoʻokaʻaʻike i ka luna ma ke kelepona kūloko, ʻōlelo ke kaikamahine i ke kelepona: "ʻAʻole pane!".
Manao iho la lakou o ka inoa keia o ka mooolelo, aole lakou i hoakaka mai. ʻAʻole pili kēia mau nuances i ka ʻāpana kalepa o ka haku mele. ʻAʻole i kūleʻa ka album ma ke kālepa.
ʻAʻole ka hoʻomaka maikaʻi loa i ka hana ʻana i nā hoʻoponopono, a Lynn i kākoʻo ai akā ʻo Wood i kūʻē kūʻē. A ʻaʻole i liʻuliʻu, ua ulu aʻe ka ʻāʻī a me ke kaʻawale ma waena o lāua.
Ua maopopo ka haʻalele ʻana o kekahi o lāua i ka hui. Ua hāʻule nā aʻalolo o Roy Wood. I ka wā o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana o ka disc ʻelua, ua haʻalele ʻo ia, e lawe ana i ka violinist a me ka bugler. A ua hana ʻo Roy i ka hui Wizzard me lākou.
Aia nā lono ma ka nūpepa e pili ana i ka haki ʻana o ka hui, akā ʻaʻole ʻo Lynn i ʻae i kēia.
ʻO ka "orchestra" hou, ma kahi o Lynn, ua komo pū ʻia: ka mea hoʻokani pahu ʻo Biv Bevan, ka mea hoʻokalakupua ʻo Richard Tandy, ka mea bassist Mike de Albuquerque. A me nā cellists ʻo Mike Edwards lāua ʻo Colin Walker, ka mea hoʻokani pila ʻo Wilfred Gibson. Ma kēia haku mele, ua ʻike ʻia ka hui i mua o ka lehulehu ma ka Hale Heluhelu i ka makahiki 1972.
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka makahiki 1973, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka lua album, ʻo ELO 2. A aia kekahi o nā mele maikaʻi a maikaʻi loa o ka hana holoʻokoʻa o Roll Over Beethoven. He ʻano uhi pōhaku kiʻi kēia o ka helu Chuck Berry kaulana.
Ma ke mele, ua emi ke kani i ka "raw" ma mua o ka album mua, ua ʻoi aku ka lokahi o nā hoʻonohonoho.
A pehea i hele ai?
I ka wā o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana o ka album aʻe, On the Third Day, ua haʻalele ʻo Gibson lāua ʻo Walker no ka "ʻauʻau" solo. Ma ke ʻano he violinist, ua kono ʻo Lynn iā Mick Kaminsky, a ma kahi o Edwards, ka mea i haʻalele ma hope, ua lawe ʻo ia iā McDowell, ka mea i hoʻi mai ka hui Wizzard.
ʻO ka hui ma ka hopena o 1973 i hoʻopaʻa i nā mea hou. ʻO ka hoʻokuʻu US pū kekahi me ka Showdown hoʻokahi. Ua loaʻa i kēia opus ke kūlana 12 ma ka pakuhi Pelekane.
Ua lilo ka mele ma ka album i ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka mea aloha mele maʻamau. A ua kapa pinepine ʻo Jeff Lynn i kēia hana i kāna punahele.
Ua hana ʻia ka album ʻehā o Eldorado (1974) ma ke ʻano manaʻo. Ua hele ʻo ia i ke gula ma ʻAmelika. ʻO ka mea hoʻokahi ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke kiʻi i waho o koʻu poʻo i paʻi i ka Billboard top 100 a piʻi i ka helu 9.
ʻO Face the Music (1975) i hoʻokomo ʻia e like me Evil Woman a me Strange Magic. Ma hope o ka hana studio, ua huakaʻi maikaʻi ka hui i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, e hōʻiliʻili maʻalahi i nā keʻena nui a me nā kahua pāʻani o nā mea pā. Ma ka home, ʻaʻole lākou i hauʻoli i ke aloha ʻino.
ʻO ka hoʻi ʻana mai o ka kaulana nalowale o ELO
ʻAʻole hiki i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o A New World Record i ka makahiki aʻe i hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia. Ua lanakila ka diski i ka UK Top 10 me nā hits mai Livin' Thing, Telephone Line, Rockaria!. Ma ʻAmelika, ua hele ka LP i ka platinum.
Ua hōʻike pū ʻia ka album Out of the Blue i nā mele mele a me nā mele hoihoi. Ua makemake nui ka poʻe hoʻolohe i ka hoʻolauna hoʻonāukiuki ma ke ʻano o Turn to Stone. A me Sweet Talkin' Woman a me Mr. lani uliuli. Ma hope o ka hana studio hua nui, ua haʻalele ka Electric Light Orchestra no kahi huakaʻi honua i hala 9 mahina.
Ma waho aʻe o nā lako multi-ton, ua lawe ʻia kahi kumu kūʻai kumukūʻai o kahi mokulele nui a me kahi pale laser nui e like me nā mea hoʻonaninani nui. Ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ua kapa ʻia nā hana a ka hui ʻo "Big Night", hiki ke ʻoi aku ma mua o nā hui holomua ma ke ʻano o ka hanohano o ka hana.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka multi-platinum disc Discovery i ka makahiki 1979. I loko o ia mea, ua hāʻule ka hui i nā ʻano hana a ʻaʻole i hana me ka nui o nā motif disco.
Nā mele hula ma ke mele o ka hui
Mahalo i nā mele hula, ua loaʻa i ka hui nā māhele nui ma ke ʻano o nā hale piha i nā ʻaha mele a me nā kūʻai moʻolelo koʻikoʻi. He nui nā hits i ka album Discovery - Last Train to London, Confusion, The Diary of Horace Wimp.
Aia ma ka uhi o ke kiʻi o Aladdin he kanaka 19 makahiki i kapa ʻia ʻo Brad Garrett. Ma hope mai, lilo ʻo ia i mea keaka a me ka mea hana.
I ka makahiki 1980, ua hana ʻo Lynn ma ke mele kani no ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻo Xanadu. Ua hoʻopaʻa ka hui i ka ʻāpana mea kani o ka album, a ua hoʻokani ʻia nā mele e Olivia Newton-John. ʻAʻole i lanakila ka kiʻiʻoniʻoni ma ka pahu pahu, akā kaulana loa ka moʻolelo.
ʻO ka album manaʻo hou aʻe, ʻo Time, he noʻonoʻo i ka huakaʻi manawa, a ua hoʻomalu ʻia nā hoʻonohonoho e nā kani synth.
Mahalo i kēia, ua loaʻa i ka hui nā mea pā hou me ka nalowale ʻole o nā mea kahiko. ʻOiai ua minamina ka poʻe he nui i ka nalowale ʻana o ka pōhaku noʻeau i ke mele o kā lākou hui punahele. Akā naʻe, ʻo ka Twilight, Eia ka Nūhou, a me ka Ticket to the Moon i hoʻolohe ʻia me ka hauʻoli.
Strange Times Electric Light Orchestra
Ua hoʻomau ka album Secret Messages i ka hoʻolālā i koho ʻia i ka wā o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana o ka moʻolelo mua. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album i ka makahiki 1983 a ʻo ia ka mea mua i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma CD. ʻAʻohe huakaʻi e kākoʻo iā ia.
I ka makahiki 1986, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo Balance of Power, i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e kahi ʻekolu o: Lynn, Tandy, Bevan. ʻAʻole i holomua ka album. ʻO ka mea kaulana Calling America wale nō i noho ma nā pakuhi no kekahi manawa. Ma hope o kēlā, ua hoʻolaha kūkala ʻia ka hoʻopau ʻana.
Ua hoʻokumu hou ʻo Beav Bevan iā ELO Part II me ʻekolu mau lālā hui mua. Ua mākaʻikaʻi nui ʻo ia a hoʻokani ʻo Jeff Lynne i nā haku mele. Ua lilo kēia i kumuhana o ka hihia ma waena o ka hui a me ka mea kākau.
ʻO ka hopena, ua kapa hou ʻia ka hui ʻo Beavan ʻo The Orchestra, a iā Jeff nā kuleana āpau.
E hoʻi Pākani uila uila
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album studio hou ʻo Zoom ma 2001. Ua hana ʻia e Richard Tandy, Ringo Starr a me George Harrison.
I Nowemapa 2015, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo Alone in the Universe. ʻElua mau makahiki ma hope mai, hele ʻo Jeff a me kāna mau hoa i ka huakaʻi Alone in the Universe. A i ka makahiki 2017 hoʻokahi, ua hoʻokomo ʻia ka hui kaulana i ka Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
