Lot of eleven exciting Krautrock and prog albums by the
A collectors' lot of Eroc and Eloy albums.Eloy is a German progressive rock band, whose musical style includes symphonic and space rock, the latter theme being more prevalent on earlier albums. Despite their nationality and time period, the band is not generally considered krautrock because of their sound, which has much more in common with English progressive rock and symphonic rock groups such as Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Yes and Camel.Founded in by guitarist Frank Bornemann, the band has endured several line-up changes, with Bornemann being the only consistent member of the group. Bornemann described the origin of the name of the band thus: "The name Eloy is based on the book 'The Time Machine' by H.G. Wells. Wells describes in his book the situation of mankind about years later, and 'Eloy' is a human race in his story. The Eloy in Wells' story have made a new start with the help of the time traveler. In a way, it was a new beginning for the human race. German rock bands in the late s played mainly covers from other bands instead of playing their own compositions. Record deals for German bands were absolutely rare and German bands generally were considered to be second class bands in their own country. At that time it was a strong effort for a German band to come out with only their own compositions. It was a start into an unknown future, and from this point of view, comparable to the human race in Wells' story. That is why I got the idea to name the band 'Eloy'.In this lot:DawnOceanSilent Cries and Mighty EchoesColoursPlanetsTime to TurnPerformanceMetromaniaAll albums come in at least EX/EX, some even NM/NM.Clean labels, shiny vinyl.
