I know I would enjoyed Eloy if it wasn't for the nasal, unmelodic vocals (Inside is nice though) that ruins a lot of appealing playing, soundscapes, atmospheres and compositions. 

Faust for me. So Far is my favorite.

^ That's what I was thinking - the accented vocals of Jean-Herve Peron is harder on the ears than Bornemann. I never found Bornemann to sound anywhere near iffy.....

Bornemann has one of the most annoying vocal in prog - or music. Maybe its more weak melodies than unmelodic. 

I usually don't mind accented vocals though. Jean-Herve Peron voice isn't nasal and fits Faust's music perfectly - which isn't as melody-based as Eloy.

Long distance jam Tongue Well, if we both had really fast Internet connection, it could be possible.

[DELETED] I was an uneducated idiot back then and couldn't appreciate the genius of Faust musicians. I would have voted Faust.

I've become somewhat more critical with my teenage favourites Eloy over the years, but Faust never really did it for me, so still Eloy.

Funny, I love Krautrock, but years ago I bought Faust IV and I didn't go for it. I got rid of it. I do have the debut (clear vinyl, X-Ray PVC sleeve) of which side 1 is brilliant, side 2 more hard going, and You Know FaUSt, a more recent release, which is consistently excellent. But I'm still not fully sold on these guys.

Faust is just great, I really think itīs so great they just keep on going do their extraordinary weird albums! At the moment I just canīt remember any other band, that started so experimental and are still as experimental or even more!
