Eloy 10 cd

After more than thirty years in the business of making quality music, EMI has finally released the definitive compilation of Eloy. It is mind boggling how underrated this band is, yet how original and creative they had been since their first 'proper' release for EMI's label 'Harvest' in 1973, an album called 'Inside'. They have been unfairly compared to Pink Floyd, Hawkwind and even Jethro Tull, (because they used the flute on couple of tracks in Inside, and because Future City has a bluesy feel!) which is quite ridiculous, and shows how little the music press and industry understands and appreciates progressive rock. When you listen to Eloy properly you will soon discover an original and total creative music world that is compared to none.
