INSIDE

Eloy is starting to be Eloy. The initial 1970-1971 'psychedelic' line-up just partially changed, but the band's creative driving force changed in essence and forever - since Inside and until now, it's Frank Bornemann. The album sounds quite heavy, dark, sometimes aggressive and overall more or less raw, but very promising. Perhaps Land Of No Body lacks some integrity and internal unity, but it's so complex, diverse and expressive that the listener (me at least...) pays no attention to its microscopic faults. Future City is amazing in any aspect, and what a pity that this song still remains one-of-a-kind in the band's track record.
