Oh my God, I didn't know about it until I read all
these mails. As ELO Fan, It's a pity Carl has passed
away, he had much influence in The Move music, beside
Roy Wood, they sung great songs like "Flowers In The
Rain", "Fire Brigade", etc, etc, and the tron-theme
"Blackberry Way" (or "El Camino de las zarzas" as it
was released here in Argentina), which is performed by
the future ELO's member Richard Tandy on harpichord
and mellotron. This was his first ever appearance on a
tron until he bought his M400 (tapes: male voices,
brass, female voices/vibes split) in 1974 for the
recording of the ELO or Jeff Lynne's majestic album
"Eldorado".
