3 stars I was bored, and I decide to make a review from Eloy, and i was catching by this album because i was hearing a couple of months ago a song called "A broken frame", and I really was amazed by this wonderful piece, it sounds like the style of the 80', amazing chorus and Solo.. and then i have the curiosity to listen the whole album. and i realize that has a very low raiting here on our beloved Site. so i give it a try.

In disguise : a nice song to start the album, and the band eloy quickly shows the heavy side and a pop-chorus, a lineal song.. a good one, but i was waiting for more.

Shadow and Light : again starts heavy, and with a lot of good drums, more progressive than the previous one, the keyboards sounds very good and this one is more a spacey track..there is a nice part in the middle of the song when the voices from bornemman sounds very nice.nice track,the last part of the drums and keyboards and a good scale by the guitar wow!( but again i was waiting for some better stuff):

Mirador : Wow!, Oooh!!, this is exactly what i want to hear from eloy, Mirador, i think that this song is one of my top 40 of all time, what a nice keyboard, very dark,deep,mellow, it make you imagine a lot of commets ,differents worlds, while the bit of the drum still goes on, this is a spacey track in all the senses, if you want to have a real trip, the close your eyes with this one.the bass part in all the track is amazing, what a beautiful song. this albums deserve it all only for this Song.

Surrender : it starts very mellow, nice piano, keyboards, this song is very happy, and the sound of the electric guitar is amazing, nice keyboards like something in the space or something, is one of the best in the album for sure,if you want to have a nice momment then you have to listen this, there are some good progressive elemments on this one, i think that Eloy is a really good band, with this song their make me Smile :),yeah, i am happy now..4:36 to the end, it Kick ass!

Heartbeat : this song has a really nice intro, a lot of spacey parts, this is a robot song, if you son`t believe me listen to it, hehe, it have a part of voices similar to Black blade from Blue oyster cult,cultusaurus erectus.. this, really sounds veru nice, but the thing that i don`t like to much about this track is the same way tha the "bit" of the drums are made.

Fools : nice track, but it is all.( but with nice parts) the ending solo is very melodic ,yeah!!

A broken frame :The best song with mirador of the whole album,I don`t have words to describe this masterpiece, what i can say about this song? This is what Eloy can do.

3.5 stars to this Good album.
