JP, thanks for getting into ELO, love Jeff Lynne and love your comments and analysis as well! I just took a path down memory lane to revisit ELO 2, from 1973, the probably strangest and definitely darkest album in the ELO catalog. ELO 2 found Jeff at his most adventurous and I'd love for you to check out "From The Sun To The World (Boogie No. 1)". It's 8:17 of truly head on mix of rock and classical, with no orchestra yet at that point, just the two cellos and the violin doing the string parts. It long, it's kinda weird and it's absolutely gorgeous. The 2003 remaster brings out all the details and makes me wonder, what on earth was going on in Jeff's head at that time...

In my opinion this is the best side of an album period and it perfectly shows off the culmination of what the ELO sound was suppose to be with 4 phenomenal songs in a suite! When I was a kid, I used to listen to this side of the vinyl album to put me to bed!!! Just amazing! You should do the whole side!
