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.. " :) |

| 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... |

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
