By
the time of Message from the Country, the band members had long since
lost interest in the Move and had already formed a new band, Electric
Light Orchestra (ELO). Recorded in 1970-71 at the same time that the
three members of the Move were also laying down tracks for the first
Electric Light Orchestra album, The Electric Light Orchestra (even
during some of the same sessions), it inevitably has some similarities
in style to the new band's debut album, especially the heavy use of
"tracking up" (overdubbing) to capture all of the instruments being
played by Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne. Nevertheless, Wood and Lynne were
determined to maintain some differentiation between the sound of their
two groups (for example, by confining Wood's saxophones to Message and
his cellos to the ELO debut respectively).
One of the early songs
recorded during the sessions was "10538 Overture," a Lynne composition
that was originally intended to be a Move B-side. Wood overdubbed a
cello riff over the basic track 15 times over, and he and Lynne decided,
after still more overdubs, that the song was better suited to The
Electric Light Orchestra. The song "Do Ya," recorded in these sessions
and released by The Move as the B-side to "California Man," also later
became a hit single for ELO from their 1976 album A New World Record.
