A concept album about the fantastic world of dreams, Eldorado may be the Electric Light Orchestra's most fully realized recording. Combining the grand, sweeping vision of founders Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood with the craftsmanship and outstanding production values that marked the megahit albums A New World Record and Out of the Blue, Eldorado is a near-perfect fusion of rock & roll with a full orchestra. While newcomers won't necessarily find much here in terms of standout tracks, true ELO fans will know that this merely demonstrates the quality of the album as a coherent whole. Digitally remastered, it sounds better than ever. --Robert BurrowCustomer Reviews:

Conquering the ^^^MOUNTAINS^^^ of my inner musical landscape ..........2006-11-23
Don't laugh, this is one of the most magic-filled, melodic & memorable albums of the 70's in my opinion ("I CAN'T get it out of my head", damn that song for being overly infectious). Music like this does repel evil! This guy has such an ear for bridges, choruses, hooks, tie-ins and hopelessly dreamy anthems that you are left at the end gazing at your ruby red slippers in an unshakeable golden-glow trance. What a perfect blending of the technology (i.e., lots of Moogs, etc.), instrumentation, emotion and songcraft of the era.
The (30 piece) atmospheric orchestra with resonating cellos and booming lower register contrasting with the electric guitars (I enjoy his focused, structured playing), violins and Lynne's oddly soothing singing (and falsetto choruses with 20 piece choir in spots) ... "THE LOVE OF AGES FILLS THE HEAD" (Overture). The tradition of great music craft is respectfully channeled, albeit more simply for the pop song structure. Eldorado WILL take you on a journey if you let it, and messages shared lyrically (yes they are included with notes from lynne on meaning) add depth and timelessness that can't be ignored:
"The city boys and the country boys, They come from miles around. To defy their King and country, Save the poor folks from the hand, Of thieving dukes and abbots, And the gentry of the land" (Poor Boy - One of my favorites by ELO).
"One thing I have learned through these years, Is that no man should be stricken with fear - It should be that he walks with no care in the world. So my friends that are gathered here today, HEAR THIS CLEAR, for I'll not further say, That NO MAN shall cause me to take up arms again" (Boy Blue, a catchy and brilliant song with a good message).
"...IN BETWEEN THEIR LIES, THE PLACE TO CLOSE YOUR EYES" (Instead of the North & South, a recent parallel presents itself??? We shall always dwell in Eldorado it seems, the Earth spins round @ and never slows down).
This was my first ELO album and helped ignite a lifelong musical love affair with prog-rock for me (I did love the Beatles, Moodies and Elton when I was younger, which leads naturally to ELO) and got me thinking more about picking up the guitar (after I bought the album myself in the mid 70's around 6th grade - I was soon to delve into YES a few months later which kicked it into higher gear), which has turned into an ongoing and permanent passion thankfully, as luck would have it.
The nice package on this 2001 remaster makes the time spent (about 48 min.) all the more worthwhile. The sound quality is beautiful to me and far better than my ancient record. You will be pleased I'm sure (Some good pictures, notes and two excellent extras to close the album with a welcome extra dose of swirling magic). Put aside all prejudices and go on a Laredo Tornado ride with Jeff Lynne & ELO (FEEL IT, DON'T ANALYZE IT) ... enjoy when the world closes in!

Japan only issue. Tracks: Cocaine Eyes/Don't Cry/Heavy Love/On Broadway/EldoradoCustomer Reviews:
Loses a star for the price.......2005-12-17
"Cocaine Eyes" is a top-notch rocker, a real potboiler of a song with some great anti-drug lyrics. It's definitely a highlight and should have been made more widely available.
"Heavy Love" is only so-so. It's a decent Neil rocker, but the lyrics aren't that good and the riff is sort of plain.
Overall, this is a solid ep. But, more than half of it is inlcuded on "Freedom" and for this price, it is for hard-core fans only.
Cranked.......2005-10-11
Clocking in at around 20 minutes , Eldorado outdoes likes of Freedom, Arc, Weld or Ragged Glory. The sense of isolation, fury & disgust here has no equal outside of Tonight's The Night & On The Beach. But neither reached the battle torn shores of this sonic Normandy. Cocaine Eyes blasts things off & is an absolute classic. The chorus of Don't Cry is a desperate plea warbled in the eye of Like A Hurricane thrashings. Heavy Love ends with Young screaming himself raw. On Broadway is a caterwauling dirge-like howl take on the old, classic standard & blows it's Freedom counterpart away. Things mellow a bit at the end with the haunting Eldorado, that is until Young starts weilding his guitar like a sawed off .30 ought six.
Another too well kept secret on what is popularly regarded as a forgotten classic. Short, but far from sweet, there is a sense of catharisis reached here that wouldn't work on a full length L.P. If you've found yourself to be a newfound fan, do not hesitate to seek this out. Shame about the price, but it's worth every rusty, bloodstained penny.

Album Description
The Man From Eldorado is a masterpiece created by singer, songwriter and storyteller David Parry from the writings of Canadian poet Robert Service. Following a narrative shape inspired by Service himself, Parry leads us through the many phases of Robert Service's life, from the poignant and poetic to the outrageous and gregarious. The Northern stories for which Service is most famous are well represented here, along with work from his Paris bohemian days, World War I experiences and much else. Many of the poems are set to tunes for the first time, with melodies that echo turn of the century music hall and British folk traditions. Songs and poems are woven together into a seamless whole, for a wonderful theatrical and musical experience.Also known from his work with the folk group "The Friends of Fiddler's Green" and from his innovative theatre work at the Canadian Museum of Civilization, David Parry brought his immense acting and musical talents to bear in what has to be his final recorded work. Borealis is proud to give this album the greater appreciation it deserves.

Billy Boy Arnold's 1993 album, Back Where I Belong, was a true event, for it not only marked the reemergence of a major figure from the first generation of Chicago blues artists but it also revealed that his talent hadn't diminished with the years; if anything, it had deepened and darkened with age. Now Arnold has built upon that comeback with Eldorado Cadillac, an even better release. Arnold, a singer and harmonica soloist who still reflects the influence of his original mentor, Sonny Boy Williamson, leads an all-star band that includes D.C. guitarist Bob Margolin, Chicago guitarist James Wheeler and New Orleans pianist Sonny Leyland. Together they forego the stomp rhythms of Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon for a bluesy, greasy swing that's pure pleasure. --Geoffrey HimesCustomer Reviews:
Lot's Of Fun!.......2002-04-13
3 1/2* -- Good, But Not the Real Chicago Blues........2000-10-06
On the best of these tracks, such as "Sunday Morning Blues," the musical elements come together, achieving the controlled frenzy of a Muddy Waters: Arnold's ripsaw harmonica, the dissonant, rolling, slide guitar, and, especially, the brilliant punctuating riffs by pianist "Sonny" Leyland, recall Waters' seminal "Fathers and Sons."
Unfortunately, the harp and Otis Spann-style piano offer the only consistently satisfying sounds here. The guitars are mostly relegated to the background, and the bass and drums are competent but not especially invigorating. Most importantly, Billy Boy Arnold's vocals sound shallow: His timbre is thin, and he often sings with little conviction. Of course, no one can compare to Muddy Waters, but listen to "Fathers and Sons" (or any of his great albums) and you'll hear the voice of the real Chicago blues.
The jump blues pieces are fairly predictable; however, and the sax sometimes sounds too polished-more like the old SNL band in NYC than anything from Chicago. Finally, the closing "Loving Mother For You", aside from being juvenile, is WAY too long, a trait it shares with "Man of Considerable Taste."
Still, this is worth a listen, especially for the spine-tingling harp and piano. Includes brief notes and personnel list. While this CD is a mixed bag, kudos to Alligator Records for their continued support of the blues, and excellent sound quality.

An Exploration into modern and ancient music.......2003-10-23
'Amazon Waltz' is a great and moving start with a very fast percussion rythm, an Amazon screams and chants while a gorgeus acoustic guitar works along a very well studied melody.
'Nepalese Tango' is a short but great mixture of synths, percussion and ethnic sounds, with a nice and happy ending.
'Black Delilah' sounds very Eastern with the violin and is a strange and moody track.
'Chattahochee Field Day' is a wonderful theme with a very driving drum beat rythm and a melancholic feel. The middle part is a burst of synthed pizzicatos and other sounds. The two basses, rythm and lead one, are very good. The follower is a friendly and fast song called
'The Illusionist' full of nice synths and percussions. Sounds a little bit like a children's TV program but that is good!
The second side opens with a very, very weird song called 'One Eyed Jacks' (well, the title's not specially convencional thinking about it). It's a very funny song with a funny fretless bass answering some funny synth sounds.
'Hear Our Prayer' includes some Persian lyrics sung by a woman and there's a great bass work during the whole song. The next song,
'Delicate' is a little masterpiece. Starting with a gloomy and soft synthesiser arpeggio, the by chance delicate voice of a girl whispers an extremely beautiful melody and the voices multiply on the chorus creating a wonderful choir with a very spiritual feeling. This song is a very must hear, a gem in itself. I don't particularly like the title track,
'Eldorado', as I find it static and falsely grandious. It's for me the weakest part of the album. But the last song is probably the best one,
'There's Always Tomorrow'. Begins with a very sentimental acoustic guitar and has a terrific middle part where the synthesiser sounds unfold like a prayer, and the fretless bass plays a beautiful octaved bit... the end is magic 'cos an optimistic rythm breaks the sadness of the song, until it fades away leaving you with a sigh for the beautiful album you've heard...
Musical, magical mix that made me a Patrick O'hearn fan.......2003-08-23
Easy to listen to, and a pleasure to share with others. This is a masterpiece of modern compositions, original and deep. Music that has texture completly throughout the Frequency spectrum. Not just ambient noise but rhythm, harmony, and soothing melodic passages that seem worldly and un worldly. Love the deep bass lines and variety of different beats and rythms.
Excellent intro to his music as it is more upbeat and lighthearted than most of his later work. If you have a good sound system it will suprise you with wonderfull sonics and all around recording finesse.
El Dorado: In some ways it could be Patrick O' Hearn's best!.......2003-08-10
"Amazon Waltz" is great to start off the album. It gives you that feeling of being in the middle east with those different instruments. "Napalese Tango" is also one of my favorites with some of the same sounds. However, "Black Delilah" was a darker one. I would picture me walking around at night time. "Chattahoochee Field Day" gives me that daytime feeling with that nice soothing rythem. Some songs on the album feature voices like "Hear Our Prayer" and "Delicate". The songs with voices are okay but I kind of like the instrumental ones more. I loved every song on this album and I hope you do to.
Some people out there who liked albums like Indigo or Trust might find El Dorado a bit dissappointing because it's more of daylight music. But I think this album is as good as his others. But I liked the darker ones more.
I hope you all enjoy it!!!
