ELOY LIVE

This is one of my favorite 'Krautrock' albums, when I want to be submerged by 24 carat symphonic progrock, I play this one! OK, the vocals have a strong German accent and the lyrics are not really 'down to earth' but the music is so warm and compelling. This live record was the touring of the splendid Ocean album, perhaps their strongest effort and all tracks are on this live album, originally a double-LP. In the late Seventies I bought all the Eloy studio albums but I prefer this live registration because Eloy Live sound so more powerful: strong and flowing guitarwork, lush keyboards and great shifting moods, only the vocals will not be everybody's cup of tea but I love every inch of this album!
