Favorite Song On Eloy's Ocean Album - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Incarnation .. it has gorgeous instrumental passage.

Hard to pick a single track from Eloy's best album, but If I had to I would pick Poseidon's Creation with Decay Of The Logos coming in second.

O wow I just now saw the I love them all option...

woops

When the world is sick
Can't no one be well
But I dreamt we were all
beautiful and strong

Maybe the first half of 'Atlanty's Agony' could be a little shorter, but the second part is brilliant, and I love the climate created around the climax of the song...

What is your favorite song on Eloy's 1977 album, Ocean?

My favorite song is Decay of the Logos; the song has a very catchy chorus, and I love the lyrics.

That's why you should remember ...

At the end of the song there's a whole passage that goes like this:

In taper indented triangles
sterilized drops of blood
are wildly raving along and their shadows -
they are crossing my horizon!
Concrete becomes liquid, sweats along
and pours along through my legs - Alright!
Extensive feverish stuff.
Rough surface - murderous red!
Even in the air,
which is still gliding quiet,
quiet and understandable!
I feel the slippery, whispering,
rainy dead end street.
Hanging deep above the vaporing sea!
The final signal for low truth approaches!
Fear did die?
Vanity - insanity, warm, hot and true,
who cut the enemy down? We are betrayed!

This makes no sense at all. A friend and I tried interpreting this, and we concluded that it was about triangle-shaped space ships, or something like that. I can't remember.

	I live the bass in the last half of poseidon's creation, so that has to be it. I love all of the 3 first, but then comes that first half of Atlantis agony, which sometimes gets a bit much. Secund half is great, though, and the title is the coolest ever, so i can look pas the ramblings about "the first genius of blahblah.. " :)
