Well, since both @JimInOz and @Charlemagne1333 nailed the Electric Light Orchestra, I am torn. I was going to award a Tesla to the winner, but now I’ll have to give them a star to share ;) . Actually, you don’t have to share. Just choose a star!

Appreciate the honours, but that’s Jim’s solve. I was just showing the workings. If we’re choosing stars, can I have Earendel please?

@JimInOz ,

Um, ah, “obtuse”? How does that word apply to the rebus? Pray tell!

Anyway, correct answer, and quick!

Well maybe I should've said "a tricky one".

Maybe “abstruse” might have been a better choice? Although, your prompt and correct answer indicates the clues could have been more abstruse than they seem to have been!

Can I hear the sound of music, or am I lost in space?

Smashing! Post your answers, and a pic, to show the neophytes how it’s done…
