"Sixthoverture" - taking the concept that is BGO to a whole new level! ...~quote ELOBEATLESFOREVER ???????? *Download Only @ bubblegumorchestra.com “Michael Hildebrandt returns with Sixthoverture, his sixth BGO album, and this one might be his best. From the joyous "A New Kind of Love Song" to the a tribute to the band that influenced ELO the most ("The Beatles Made Me") to the fine piano ballad "Elizabeth.” - Steve Ferra, Absolute Power Pop (Sep 27, 2017) “BGO long players are always replete with thought provoking lyrics and exquisite musical arrangements intermingled with elements of the classic ELO sound and Power Pop hence you will not be surprised that all those elements are on show here within "Sixthoverture".” - Keith James Sinclair, ELO BEATLES FOREVER (Sep 21, 2017) "Sixthoverture" has been taken as dark and autobiographical by some reviewers but Yours Truly KJS sees BGO VI as an album of observation and in many respects, hope for the fallen with themes urging recovery, remembrance and revival. Technically, the eleven tracks on offer are ten more superlative MLH compositions and constructions preceded by the stirring "Prologue" that is "Cometh The Storm" yet with artwork depicting aft blue violins lying in the path of an oncoming twister, one could be forgiven for expecting a record that tears a path through the emotions but, for me, this album is a joy to behold with the bold assertion of "A New Kind Of Love Song" balanced by the honesty of "Lower Than Low", the unashamed message that "God Is Good", the entreating request to "Remember Me" and the quite brilliant closing anthem "Have I Told You". BGO long players are always replete with thought provoking lyrics and exquisite musical arrangements intermingled with elements of the classic ELO sound. - Keith James Sinclair, ELO BEATLES FOREVER (Sep 21, 2017) “SIXTHOVERTURE...This is an album that is a delight to listen to and review, continuing what is now an accomplished series of records by Michael Laine Hildebrandt” - Keith James Sinclair, ELO BEATLES FOREVER (Sep 21, 2017) "SIXTHOVERTURE"...Absolutely fantastic album from beginning to end! Many congrats to you & BGO, Michael! - Sir Jib KHAN, Starflight Band (Sep 19, 2017) “Aided and abetted by BGO guitarist Douglas Hildebrandt and guest vocalist Les Farrington of Sugarbomb, Michael Laine Hildebrandt and Bubble Gum Orchestra takes pop-rock to a higher state of the art on the spectacular sounding animated groove of Sixthoverture.” - Robert Silverstein, MWE3 (Sep 18, 2017) “Hi Michael, "The Beatles Made Me" is a beautiful song, a sublime tribute to the Beatles Thank you for this wonderful moment!” - Eric Cots, BGO Fan from France (Aug 24, 2017) “Great chord changes, arrangement, & production. With a beautiful melody & clever lyrical content to boot. Another real winner from BGO!” - Sir Jib Kahn, Starfilght Band (Aug 30, 2017)
