4 stars I had difficulty finding out much in the way of information about this live album from ELOY. It was released in 1978 and recorded during their "Ocean" tour but that's all I got. Haha. Lots of info in the liner notes but it's all written in German. What I can tell you is that the sound is crystal clear, very well recorded. In fact this is one of thoses albums that really does sound better with the volume turned way up. Spacey and powerful music.

This album opens and ends exactly like the "Ocean" album with "Poseidon's Creation" and "Incarnation Of Logos" starting things off before ending with "Atlantis Agony..." We also get three tracks from the previous album "Dawn". My favourite track though is the title track from the "Inside" album. This song is heavier with some fantastic guitar and organ. "Mutiny" is from the "Power And The Passion" record and also boasts some good guitar and organ late. Synths though rule this album especially on the "Ocean" tracks where we get lots of spacey soundscpaes.The opening track "Poseidon's Creation" is my second favourite on here. This sounds so amazing when the sound gets fuller before 2 minutes and the drumming is outstanding. Check out the guitar before 9 minutes as well.

In my opinion this is a "must have" for ELOY fans as this is really the only live album the band has put out. It sounds incredible !
