"Xanadu" by Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) is the soundtrack album released in 1980 for the film of the same name. The album blends ELO's signature symphonic rock style with elements of disco and pop, featuring a mix of lush orchestration, synthesizers, and electric guitars. It includes the hit title track "Xanadu," which became a chart-topping success, along with other songs like "I'm Alive" and "All Over the World." The music reflects the film's fantastical themes, combining upbeat, danceable tracks with sweeping, cinematic sounds. Though the movie itself was met with mixed reviews, the album became a commercial success and is considered a unique example of ELO's musical experimentation during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
