IBM

En grupp som slog till med en riktig superdänga var ELO (Electric Light Orchestra).
Deras bästa lät genom karriären är helt klart Yours Truly 2095 som man aldrig kan tröttna på. För er som är bra på kareokee kommer här texten så att ni kan sjunga med.

2095, 2095, 2095, 2095
I love you, sincerely
Yours truly, yours truly...

I sent a message to another time
But as the days unwind, this I just cant believe
I sent a note across another plane
Maybe its all a game, but this I just cant conceive.

Can you hear me?

I drive the very latest hovercar
I dont know where you are
But I miss you so much till then
I met someone who looks a lot like you
She does the things you do
But she is an ibm.

2095, 2095, 2095, 2095
I love you, sincerely
Yours truly, yours truly...

Shes only programmed to be very nice
But shes as cold as ice
Whenever I get too near
She tells me that she likes me very much
But when I try to touch
She makes it all too clear.

She is the latest in technology
Almost mythology
But she has a heart stone
She has an i.q. of 1001
She has a jumpsuit on
And shes also a telephone.

2095, 2095, 2095, 2095
I love you, sincerely
Yours truly, yours truly...

Chorus:
Is that what you want? (is it what you want? )
Is it what you really want? (is it what you really want? )
Is that what you want? (is it what you want? )
Is it what you really want?

I realize that it must seem so strange
That time has rearranged
But time has the final word
She knows I think of you, she reads my mind
She tries to be unkind
She knows nothing of our world

Although her memory banks overflow
No one would ever know
For all she says: is that what you want?
Maybe one day Ill feel her cold embrace
And kiss her interface
til then, Ill leave her alone.

I love you, sincerely
Yours truly, yours truly...

Repeat chorus:

Is that what you want?

Det är ju "balance of power" som är ELO:s mästerverk! "Calling America", "So serious", Getting to the point"... man blir ju alldeles yr.

Jag var nästan på väg ner mot Malmö faktiskt. Just FLA hade varit kul att se, trots att jag inte hört dem sen "Mindphaser".

Jag kan meddela att de har hållt stilen sedan Mindphaser trots att det är deras mästerverk nummer 1 :) De har ju vidgat sina vyer i och med sina projekt Delerium och Equinoxe också :)
