notes
Richard Tandy's Minimoog fills weave between the piano and strings, adding a synth-rock edge that was becoming ELO's signature; a light pitch LFO gives sustained notes a subtle vibrato. Tandy's use of Moog synthesizers alongside Mellotron on ELO's mid-70s records is well documented. Keep the glide subtle for the connecting runs.
