Christian Schneider Discography of CDs

Christian Schneider discography 1986's BALANCE OF POWER, the last ELO album to feature Jeff Lynne--the rest of the group re-convened as ELO Part II in the late '90s with cult-fave singer/guitarist Parthenon Huxley replacing Lynne--looks at first like a dubious attempt at '80s-style modernization.

The opening "Heaven Only Knows" is a catchy tune with Lynne's trademark overdubbed Beatlesque harmonies that would have fit in well on OUT OF THE BLUE or DISCOVERY. The rest of the album is less immediately enthralling, but that's due to the slightly antiseptic, MIDI-heavy production, not the caliber of the songs.

All tracks have been digitally remastered. Electric Light Orchestra: Bev Bevan (drum); Richard Tandy (programming, sequencer); Jeff Lynne. Personnel: Jeff Lynne (vocals, guitar, piano, keyboards, bass guitar, ...
