You should definitely check them out. I bought 9 of their albums and, after years of avoiding them (for whatever reasons), I'm finally getting into them. I don't download music, but Amazon.com is offering Ocean for $3.99 as an Mp3 download. Well worth it for this album IMHO. I'm glad this was my first Eloy album. I've definitely got a good impression of them. Ocean is also very highly rated here on Prog Archives. Many consider it their masterpiece, but, since I'm still new to the Eloy discography, the jury will be out on this one.

But what I'm saying is the recording is remixed too loudly. I can barely turn it up on one on my volume knob and it's too much and it doesn't matter what I play the CD through. If they would correct this and leave the compression out of it, then you would have some even better sounding stereo remixes. |
OK, got you |
Don't bother me, I'm listening to Eloy. I CAN'T BE INTERRUPTED!!! Do you know this band's music? |

What do you think about the remixes? I hear a lot of negative things about them. I like the remixes for Nursery Cryme through Selling England By The Pound, but think little of the ones for the other albums. My favorite Lamb is the 'Definitive Remaster.' My favorites for A Trick of the Tail and Wind & Wuthering are the originals (no remastering). |
They sound fine to me but that's me. Nursery Cryme sounds the best in my opinion  |
Nursery Cryme does sound good and, I may/may not have mentioned this before, but the new remix/remaster corrects the distortion/clipping when Hackett solos in The Fountain of Salmacis, but one thing that I don't particularly care for, and something that I had to find out for myself, is how loud these remasters are. They really hurt my ears after awhile which is why I don't listen to them much these days.
