Good review, it sums it up nicely. Still haven't played side one though....

Good to see The Fall getting a decent review. I have the DVD of the film,have never watched it, tempted to watch it but them again I said I would listen to side one and didn’t. Like the last line of the trailer, would have fitted well with next ELO album

For those who can't get enough of this movie, the Xanadu Preservation Society (yes, that is a thing) recently dropped a marathon 24-hour podcast for its 40th anniversary, with not a single repeated song to be found: www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/95361Incredibly, they still didn't find the time for Jeff's 2000 remake of the title track!

I have Magic and Suddenly elsewhere, they are the only two songs that I'd listen to though...

How much I've paid attention to side one, or the whole thing really, is I didn't know Suddenly and Magic are on it!

I know I've said it before, but to me there isn't a Side 1 or Side 2, or an A or a B side, only the ELO or ONJ sides. Of equal importance. Controversial, that I love both sides, and a listen to Xanadu isn't complete without ONJ.

Good review, it sums it up nicely. Still haven't played side one though.... I don't think I'll ever listen to side one. I like to think I'll attempt it and may have given it a cursory listen when I first bought the CD but I'd much rather listen to the ELO side twice.
I wonder if people would like the movie more if reviewers stopped saying how bad it is? If reviewers didn't keep on about it being awful more of today's youth might watch it without already expecting something terrible.
