The way the title No Answer was named was accidental. When ELO was on the phone with the American Record company, they asked what the title would be and they responded “No Answer” as in we aren’t sure. The record company took that as an actual answer

Gerry from Miami:

Thanks, BOB, for that generous helping of Charles Laughton's reading of the story line from the classic film, "Night of the Hunter." A very haunting film, not the least of which is Robert Mitchum's Intoning of the hymn "Leaning on the Arms." Score composer, Walter Schumann, died young, but left us this superb example of soundtrack music and several others. I was surprised to discover he also wrote the well-known theme to the vintage TV drama, "Dragnet." DUM DA DUM DUM!

Speaking of European composers who moved to Hollywood, a buddy of mine is Ernst Toch's grandson. Toch's most well-known piece is "Geographic Fugue," a work for choir. Worth a listen:
