Off topic I know, but I've just heard that Carl Wayne of The Move has died.  
The significance of this here in the UK is that he was the first singer heard 
on  Radio 1 when it launched. 
A sad day.
Anyone know of any tron usage?

Yes, I'd just read about Carl Wayne as well, it's so sad to hear of 
his death - I didn't know he'd had cancer until reading about it 
today (and that he'd also been a member of the Hollies for the last 
four or five years)...

As for tron appearances, the only Move songs I know of that have tron 
on them are Blackberry Way (with MkII violins a-plenty and which, to 
my mind, really make the mood of the song), and Curly (MkII violins 
about halfway through). It would be interesting to know of any others 
though.

Well, I've ploughed through their entire catalogue (not just now, you
understand...), and I can't hear any more. The rumoured 'Tron on 'Message
From the Country' turned out not to be. Sad to hear about Carl Wayne,
though - how come he's gone when that lunatic Ace Kefford is still knocking
about?

That was a Jeff Lynne track, and performed after Carl Wayne's departure 
(from the band, not this life!.......) to embark on his 
middle-of-the-road Cabaret Thing. I think that the 'Tron on Blackberry 
Way and Curly must've belonged to a studio or another band, because 
those tracks are concurrent, and you're right, the rest of the Move's 
output is Tron-Free.

The later Lynne-era stuff like 'Message'  bears much more likeness to 
the early ELO material, and all of the strings, woodwind were performed 
by Roy Wood on real instruments.

Sad indeed about Carl.. but what is Kefford up to these days then?!!

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".
