Reviews

The last two Move albums were essentially collaborations between Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne for the sole purpose of transitioning to Electric Light Orchestra. Of the two, Looking On was definitely a heavier-sounding, larger-in-scope document, with many of the tracks having multiple sections, lengthier run-times, and odd twists and turns. The most notable track is the progressive-soul exercise "Feel Too Good", with its funky breaks and seemingly never-ending coda that both Lynne and Wood trade solos off of - not to mention Lynne plays drums here as well. The whole affair has a bit of a show-off feel, and quite a few of these tracks tend to wallow in sheer self-indulgence. But with guys like Wood and Lynne behind the boards, the many moments that leave you awe-struck more than make up for it ("What", "Open Up The World Said The Door").
