This song is taken from the OrKestra album "Beyond The Dream". Peter Kuys, who was Kelly Groucutt's executive producer from his solo album Kelly in 1982 and Orkestra albums, got involved with a movie called "Summer Job". This was a welcome opportunity to invite Kelly's group OrKestra which he formed with his fellow former ELO bandmate Mik Kaminski to write some film music. Kelly said: "At first it was just 'Some Kind Of Magic', but then it escalated to four tracks. We were then invited to appear in the film to play the part of an English band." The band could be seen at the end of the movie performing "Some Kind Of Magic" at a pool party." The soundtrack album also included "Bring On The Dancing Girls","Hold On To Love" and "Don't Turn Away" taken directly from the recording sessions for the album. It was released in autumn 1988. The movie itself was a teenage sex comedy, which didn't win any awards, so the rental video copies were quickly thrown on the market and then heavy play on HBO. I took the original album track and remastered it, adjusted the tempo to match the film footage. Mixed it with the film audio and synced to the film footage. Hope you enjoy it!

  • I love watching bad movies with songs like this because the song along makes you want to watch the movie just to get to the best part of it. All in all not a bad movie though just cheesy.
