Eloy-Live

This two record set was recorded on their 1978 tour in Europe. Only Frank Bornemann remains from the line-up that played on Floating. Most of the songs were from the last album Ocean. They are moving away from the Heavy Progressive sound to the more Symphonic Progressive music of their later records.I liked their older sound better. Vocals are in English with a German accent of course. The songs from Ocean,a concept record about Atlantis,have spoken word narration in German. The most rocking song is “Inside” from their second album. The last song on the record “Atlantis’Agony On June 5th-8498,13 PM Gregorian Earthtime” takes up the whole side and has some nice guitar and keyboard solos. I bought this used record ten or fifteen years ago for $20.It’s an import from Germany. Cover and records are in good shape with one skip on the beginning of “The Sun-Song” during the German spoken word introduction.
