Electric Light Orchestra-Discovery (1979)

At the height of the disco fever of the late seventies, the Electric Light Orchestra left behind the pompous orchestral arrangements and progressive rock of its previous works to derive the group's sound to a sophisticated pop rock influenced by the Beatles' melodies, with a sound bombastic and some arrangements that betrayed its origin.
From this last period belongs the album "Discovery", the formation of eight components had grown to four, regardless of their string trio that such a characteristic sound would reach in albums such as "Eldorado" (1974), "A New World Record" (1976 ) or "Out Of The Blue" (1977).
Discovery contained a series of songs of great quality and class like the forceful "Shine a Little Love", "Don´t Bring me Down", the melodic "Confusion", the addictive "Last Train to London" or the hypnotic "The Diary of Horace Wimp".
This would be the first album of the band in arriving at number one in England, honor that would share with the following work "Time" published in 1983.
