Eloy biography
Founded in Hanover, Germany, in 1969 - Several breaks in the 80s and
90s - Still active since 2019 Taking its name from "Eloi," a futuristic race of people in the H.G. Wells time machine, ELOY was initially founded in 1969 in Germany. Inspired by THE SHADOWS and THE BEATLES, they became one of the main bands on the progressive rock scene heavily influenced by pink floyd space rock. They started in Germany as a hard rock band with political bent, but soon dived into a spacier progressive rock sound. They had numerous turnovers, with a major split in the 1980s resulting in a shift to a more mainstream direction. Based mainly on guitar solos by founder Frank BORNEMANN, their music has evolved to include multiple synthesizers and choirs.
They produced many albums between 1971 and 1998 with different lineups.
Their best period is the mid-to-late '70s with trippier space-rock "Inside" and "Floating" (with Manfred WIECZORKE later from JANE). "Dawn" is actually one of the better of eloy albums from the symphonic era, maybe even the best. "Ocean" is a concept album about Atlantis and one of the pillar albums of the German symphony scene, and it's definitely worth a look. This was followed by "Silent Screams and Powerful Echoes", a year later to even greater success. During 1993-1994, ELOY released the top three collections and it wasn't until 1994 with the release of "The Tides Return Forever", that they re-recorded and toured, and the band reappeared live on stage for several successful performances in Germany. Their last album"Ocean 2", released in 1998, was the surprising return of a progressive rock band, which recently stopped their stage performances. LADISLAV&Z.............
Eloy biografija
Osnovana u Hannoveru u Njemačkoj 1969. godine - Nekoliko pauza 80-ih i
90-ih - Još uvijek aktivna od 2019. godine Uzimajući ime po "Eloiju", futurističkoj rasi ljudi u vremenskom stroju H.G. Wellsa, ELOY je u početku osnovan 1969. u Njemačkoj. Inspirirani THE SHADOWSima i BEATLESIMA, postali su jedan od glavnih bendova na progresivnoj rock sceni pod velikim utjecajem space rocka PINK FLOYDA. Počeli su u Njemačkoj kao hard rock bend s političkom savijenošću, ali su ubrzo zaronili u spacier progresivni rock zvuk. Imali su brojne promete, s velikim rascjepom osamdesetih godina koji je rezultirao prelaskom u više mainstream smjer. Temeljena uglavnom na gitarskim solažama osnivača Franka BORNEMANNA, njihova je glazba evoluirala tako da uključuje više sintesajzera i zborova.
Producirali su mnoge albume između 1971. i 1998. godine s različitim postavama.
Njihovo najbolje razdoblje je sredina do kraja 70-ih s trippier space-rockom "Inside" i "Floating" (s Manfredom WIECZORKEOM kasnije iz JANE). "Dawn" je zapravo jedan od boljih od ELOY albuma iz simfonijskog doba, možda čak i najbolji. "Ocean" je konceptualni album o Atlantidi i jedan od pillar albuma njemačke simfonijske scene, a svakako vrijedi pogledati. Nakon toga uslijedili su "Tihi krikovi i moćni odjeci", godinu dana kasnije do još većeg uspjeha. Tijekom 1993-1994, ELOY je objavio tri najbolje kolekcije i tek 1994. godine s izdanjem "The Tides Return Forever", ponovno su snimili i obišli turneju, a bend se ponovno pojavio uživo na pozornici za nekoliko uspješnih nastupa u Njemačkoj. Njihov posljednji album "Ocean 2", objavljen 1998. godine, bio je iznenađujući povratak progresivnog rock benda, koji je nedavno zaustavio njihove scenske nastupe.LADISLAV&Z………….

Biographie d’Eloy
Fondée à Hanovre, en Allemagne, en 1969 - Plusieurs pauses dans les années 80 et
Années 90 - Toujours actif depuis 2019 Tirant son nom de « Eloi », une race futuriste de personnes dans la machine à remonter le temps H.G. Wells, ELOY a été initialement fondée en 1969 en Allemagne. Inspirés par THE SHADOWS et THE BEATLES, ils sont devenus l’un des principaux groupes de la scène rock progressif fortement influencés par le pink floyd space rock. Ils ont commencé en Allemagne en tant que groupe de hard rock avec un penchant politique, mais ont rapidement plongé dans un son de rock progressif plus spacier. Ils ont eu de nombreux roulements, avec une scission majeure dans les années 1980, ce qui a entraîné un changement vers une direction plus traditionnelle. Basé principalement sur des solos de guitare du fondateur Frank BORNEMANN, leur musique a évolué pour inclure plusieurs synthétiseurs et chœurs.
Ils ont produit de nombreux albums entre 1971 et 1998 avec différentes formations.
Leur meilleure période est du milieu à la fin des années 70 avec trippier space-rock « Inside » et « Floating » (avec Manfred WIECZORKE plus tard de JANE). « Dawn » est en fait l’un des meilleurs albums d’eloy de l’ère symphonique, peut-être même le meilleur. « Ocean » est un album concept sur Atlantis et l’un des albums piliers de la scène symphonique allemande, et cela vaut vraiment le coup d’œil. Cela a été suivi par « Silent Screams and Powerful Echoes », un an plus tard pour un succès encore plus grand. En 1993-1994, ELOY a sorti les trois meilleures collections et ce n’est qu’en 1994 avec la sortie de « The Tides Return Forever », qu’ils ont réenregistré et tourné, et le groupe est réapparu en direct sur scène pour plusieurs performances réussies en Allemagne. Leur dernier album « Ocean 2 », sorti en 1998, a été le retour surprenant d’un groupe de rock progressif, qui a récemment arrêté leurs performances scéniques. LADISLAV&Z.............
