Cyberspace is the first work by Eloy Fritsch released by the Brazilian label Rock Symphony. Literally overflowing with powerful electronic compositions; rich, melodic themes; and dynamic musical movements, the music and arrangements of this CD range from delicate, symphonic neo-classicism to high-powered rhythmic fanfares…

As good as Dawn was, the weight of the orchestra prevented it from being truly compelling, while its story seemed a bit thin. Eloy fixed both flaws for Ocean, creating their most striking album, a true classic of progressive rock history in Germany and abroad…

Eloy however were at the peak of their popularity in their homeland of Germany and most of their albums from 1976 to 1982 would sell over 200,000 copies. Rightly considered the German Pink Floyd, the band was famous for elaborate stage shows featuring copious laser lights, dry ice machines and plentiful pyrotechnics.
