and the fact three members of their mid 70s 'classic line up' are now dead and Bev Bevan and Lynne don't talk(ala Gilmour/Waters, Fogerty's, Davies and Gallagher Brothers etc...) he cant really call it ELO,
I guess Lynne must own the rights to the logo and name because he is using it..
either way, the album is typical Jeff Lynne...
i'll be playing the Adele over the next few days to get a few listens under my belt...that will be an interesting one when I post it in a week or so...

Oooops...
I wasn't saying it was a bad album guys,
I was just saying it was their weakest album....
Here's my scale of their six albums:
1...love over gold
2...making movies
3...brothers in arms
4...dire straits
5...on every street
6...communiqué
Either way, lets face it, six very good albums out of six,
And MK's solo material is quality material also.

Trawling around the www listening to Aquarium. So, I lied; Navigator is not an instrumental album â itâs decidedly vocal! Very confusing â all this Cyrillic script. There's a site called Kroogi which lets you listen to all their stuff.
One of the reasons I wanted to listen to Navigator, apart from being curious about the music in itself, is because it is recognised as being of superior quality in terms of production. Boris Grebenchshikov and Aquarium spent so many years recording to a sub-standard, using whatever equipment was available because there was no other option, that when he finally got access to a decent studio, he went completely overboard on quality - to the point that he had to sell his car and some of his guitar collection in order to finance tracking costs. It was worth it. This is so gorgeous I swear I can hear the samovar singing â¦
(Google translate does a very shaky job of translating the lyrics so I can only hazard a guess at direction of those, but the subject matter of this track is âToilingâ â as is the title .⦠any irony, of which there is apparently plenty, is totally lost, which is a pity; I need to go learn Russian now â )
