}} ''Alone in the Universe'' is the fourteenth studio album by British rock band Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), credited to "Jeff Lynne's ELO". Released on 13 November 2015, the album is the first of new original material credited to the group since ''Zoom'' in 2001, and the second since the original group's disbandment in 1986. ==Background== ELO originally disbanded in 1986. In 2001, co-founder Jeff Lynne attempted to reform the band for a new tour to promote ''Zoom'', the last studio album of original material credited to ELO, but the tour was cancelled due to low ticket sales. Lynne returned to freelance record producing. Years later, BBC DJ Chris Evans invited Lynne on the air and, with listener backing, urged him to tour again. The recording of his solo covers album, ''Long Wave'' (2012), was also inspirational for Lynne, and led him to experiment more with his songwriting based on the described "adventurous" qualities of the traditional pop standards he had chosen.〔 The group subsequently returned for a single performance at Hyde Park in September 2014. Of the original ELO members, Lynne was the only founding member present, accompanied by Richard Tandy, the band's veteran keyboardist.〔 Lynne said he hadn't spoken to co-founder Bev Bevan in about 30 years, adding "Richard is my lifetime man in the group. ... He's a great musician, a great piano player and I really enjoy his company."〔 Encouraged by the success of the performance, Lynne began recording a new ELO album.〔 On 24 September 2015, ''Alone in the Universe'' was announced.〔 When asked by a journalist what he had been doing since ''Zoom'', the previous ELO album, Lynne jokingly responded: "I have no idea. I like a drink. I did lots of things. I just can’t think what it was." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alone in the Universe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
