Reviews

I really wanted to like this album and band, but this music is just okay. Sometimes it borders on being boring. Maybe its the lack of guitars? It's mostly bass with synths and I think that's what hurts it. I will try listening to this again in hopes that something stands out. 2/5 for me.

I love the bass lines, and how the bass player and drummer goes together. One of the most groovy progrock bands of their prime era, in my book. This album is stunning.

The drums on this album are AMAZING. Fills and grooves are top-notch and they are some of the best mixed/best sounding I've ever heard. Overall, one of the best produced records I've heard
shymanseeks Jun 24, 2023
this is one of my best sounding albums. drums and bass are very forceful, synths and vocals nicely balanced. superb mix and fantastic pressing!

It’s been over a decade since I found this, along with multiple other Eloy LPs in a single haul. Obviously someone’s collection. Anyway, wow.

I totally agree with the stunning SQ reviews.
RicMargadona Jun 7, 2022
This album sounds incredible stunning. I can’t imagine how a remaster could be better than this first press. Simply awesome!!!

Got a copy quite cheap and I needed to comment about the sound quality, I see I'm not alone. I didn't know if I was facing a G+ record or what, got a VG/VG+ and the sound is just stunning. I have many NM and modern records that sound way worse than this.
Vinylophilist Jan 18, 2022
I have nothing to add to the sound quality, it is fabulous.
The music is world stage, there is an instrumental part wher one may wish, Parsons had suffled the knobs, it is a true match for Pink Floyd in some parts.
Yes indeed, I am an Eloy fan, but that doesn't mean I cannot add that the singers strained voice and his strong German accent are a downer in a way. Every farkng time.

I concur with the other comments: Great sounding pressing. Well worth seeking out!

The sound is top. Amazing, just amazing... I have this first pressing in NM condition, and I absolutely love it.
