ELOY

Charming sometimes, but very uncharacteristic. This is a completely different record from anything Eloy has released afterwards. It's basic your typical early 70's hard rock with few touches of psychedelia and a hint of prog here and there. Nothing original. Competent, yes. Essential? Not really, unless you´re a completionist. No wonder Bornemann does not like it. His contribution is far less important here than in any other Eloy album and the style is nothing we're accustomed to hear from them. Sometimes it is not even mentioned on some discography of Eloy. The leap from this album and their sophomoric release, Inside, was a giant one. In fact, it was a completely new band by then. This one serves more as a curio than anything else. For completionists, only. Or maybe, if you like early 70's psychedelic hard rock, for the ones who enjoy looking for obscure stuff from that period.
