Page "Balance of Power (album)" Paragraph 1

Balance of Power was the last studio album by the Electric Light Orchestra for a period of over 15 years ( until Zoom was released in 2001 ).

By this time Kelly Groucutt had departed and the group was pared down to a trio, with Jeff Lynne handling bass ( in addition to his usual guitar work ) and more dabbling with electronic percussion and synthesisers.

ELO played some live concerts in the UK and Europe ( their last for fifteen years ), and in one UK show George Harrison performed as guest guitarist.
