COLOURS

Eloy entered the 80's with a change in their line-up with 3 changes on the guitars, keyboards and drums. I think they are all competent players and musicians as there isn't a big shift in the music.

The first track of the album reminds of Alan Parson Project and is a good start. We're confronted with tasty keyboards, well supporting bass and drums and even some more exotic instruments such as flute.

Overall, melodies are less memorable despite higher presence of vocals and if I remember some motives then it is thanks to keyboards. "Child migration" is an excellent progressive track not only by the band standards but also considering its year.

THe moog runs and synth moods in this track are very satisfying. To add another positive note, I find the vocals on this album less annoying than before.

This is yet another great album by Eloy with a lot of landscapes, routes and layers to explore.
