ELOY LIVE

Eloy is one of the best German Prog Rock bands and his style moved from Space Rock to Symphonic Prog. In 'Eloy Live' it is not easy to describe the exact genre, not only because this live present both Eloy's style but also because both styles present similar arrangements and melodies. In my opinion all the songs are great at the same level and, however, I think that this live is not totally perfect but only because the perfection don't exist!

I do not have a preferred songs but I think that synths, drums and voice are the backbone of emotions. Ok, also the guitar are good but I think that guitar is only the complement of backbone! Sure the Rock part is extreme great. So the songs are also Hard Rock feelings (see first two Judas Priest's albums or Saxon's debut, for examples) but only because very Rock. Also classic Music is a good component in Eloy's music. So Bach, Beethoven or Wagner are not extraneous in writing process. Also bands like Tangerine Dream enter in musical concept also if I think that this fact is normal for a Germanic Prog band.

The level of execution is too high, verging the perfection. Eloy's musicians are not machines but the level of technique in execution is extreme high. And this fact is pure emotion.

Believe me... If you search the last true 70's Prog album 'Eloy Live' is this album!
