‘The Move’ Transforms To The Electric Light Orchestra, The Series (Part Two) [VIDEO]
1968 was the year of The Move's debut album, which is a collection of thirteen rock songs with quite a punch. Like a scruffy beard the band was at it's scruffiest.
However, its closer, “Cherry Blossom Clinic” , the song itself is assembled with a rapid fire string and trumpets that compliments the nasally tenor vocals of Carl Wayne.
The orchestration in itself is genius and breathtaking, it also has a heavy clue based on it's arrangement that the Electric Light Orchestra was just right around the corner. When you listen you can hear what I mean.
To define this song it's the story of a man who slips into madness and all that he imagines through hallucination in his clinic room.
