Some bad news from the ELO front. The groups original orchestra arranger, Louis Clark, has passed away earlier today. No cause was given.
Mr. Clark certainly put the O in ELO thanks to his contributions to a ton of ELO albums from 1974's Eldorado to parts of 1983's Secret Messages. Pretty much any track from any of those albums added heavily to the groups majestic panoramic sound! You can read his Wikipedia page HERE!
For starters, the following YouTube links offers a rare uncut taste of Mr. Clark's mammoth work with ELO's output!
Just to clarify, Clark did not score the movie, just the ELO side of the soundtrack, though it would have been QUITE a different score if he did.
Thanks for your amazing contribution, Mr. Clark!
