Cuando Jeff Lynne se auto-exilió en un chalet de los Alpes suizos, el cielo estaba tan gris como un acetato sin funda. De pronto salió el sol y, según él mismo, “¡boom!”, escribió 14 canciones en menos de tres semanas, entre ellas el imbatible “Mr Blue Sky” – todo un clásico del pop sinfónico. Aquel chispazo creativo dio origen a Out Of The Blue, un doble álbum que vendió más de 10 millones y convirtió la figura de la nave espacial de Shusei Nagaoka en símbolo universal del “rock con cuerda y láseres”.
Cuarenta años después, Legacy rescató la obra en este doble picture-disc que, al girar, convierte tu plato en una mini-ovnilanda psicodélica. Remasterizado desde las cintas originales, es la pasarela definitiva para que tu oreja viaje en primera clase por suites como Concerto for a Rainy Day. Quien dude de su influencia pregúntele a Axl Rose (fan confeso) o a la mitad de las bandas indie que le copiaron la vocoder-manía.
