Taking their name from the "Eloi", the futuristic race of people in H.G. Wells' The Time Machine, ELOY was initially formed in 1969 in Germany. Inspired by THE SHADOWS and THE BEATLES, they became one of the major bands in the progressive rock scene highly influenced by the space rock of PINK FLOYD. They started off in Germany as a hard rock band with a political bent, but soon drifted into a spacier progressive rock sound. They have had a number of turnovers, with a major split in the 1980s that resulted in a move into more of a mainstream direction. Based mainly on founder Frank BORNEMANN's guitar solos, their music evolved to include more synthesizers and choirs. They produced many albums between 1971 and 1998 with different line-ups. Their best period is the mid to late-70's with the trippier space-rock of "Inside" and "Floating" (with Manfred WIECZORKE later of JANE). "Dawn" is actually one of the better of the symphonic-era ELOY

Eloy s-a infiintat in Germania, in 1969. Numele formatiei a fost luat din cartea lui H.G. Wells, “Masina timpului”. Initial, influentele muzicale erau Shadows si Beatles, ulterior Eloy devenind una dintre cele mai importante trupe ale scenei progressive, dupa ce experimentase si sunetul hard rock. Numeroase surse critice invoca influente Pink Floyd, idee care se regaseste in opinia semnatarului, cu mentiunea ca este vorba mai degraba despre preluari la nivel formal, dealtfel fara utilitate in conceptia compozitionala. Aparut in 1977, Ocean – al saselea album realizat de Eloy, este ancorat in ideile inceputului de deceniu. In tandem cu delay-ul mentionat, engleza “problematica” a vocalului ar putea alcatui o baza suficient de solida pentru rezervele publicului ascultator. Totusi update-ul space music si virtuozitatea instrumentala transforma posibilele minusuri in avantaje de tip farmec si recontextualizare. Componenta este urmatoarea: Frank Bornemann - chitara, voce; Klaus-Peter Matzi

In their early years, KAIPA was one of Sweden's best seventies symphonic prog bands. Roine STOLT from THE FLOWER KINGS was a member of KAIPA. Their albums contain a mostly instrumental music, drawing its influences from Progressive music (CAMEL, YES, GENESIS...), classic music (BACH) or Swedish folklore. The first three albums ("Kaipa", "Inget Nytt Under Solen" and "Solo") are a beauty and probably most indicative of their style - dreamy symphonic rock with simple, yet very effective melodies and a great deal of emotion. "Notes From The Past" is their 6th studio album since 1975 and the first one since 1982. All colours of the unique KAIPA-music from the 70's are present but with a brand new collection of masterpieces. With the new album "Keyholder", Hans LUNDIN and Roine STOLT perform some new music, searching for a new level of progress, yet echoing fragments of the glorious 70's, trying to bring the new Kaipa-sound to a h

Neo-Progressive rock (more commonly “Neo-Prog”) is a subgenre of Progressive Rock that grew out of a strong influence by and admiration for the classic symphonic prog bands that flourished during the 1970s. Debate over when Neo-Prog actually came into being often takes place, some asserting it began with Script for a Jester’s Tear by Marillion in 1983. Others contend it began with Twelfth Night at the dawn of the 80s, while some even suggest the popular symphonic prog band Genesis gave rise to the sound that would typify or at least highly influence the sound that characterizes Neo-Prog with their 1976 album, A Trick of the Tail. As a transition, if one analyses the progressive movement just before 1980, then some very influential albums easily come to mind: Steve Hackett - Spectral Mornings, Genesis - Wind & Wuthering, Genesis - And Then There Were Three, Genesis - Seconds Out, Saga - Saga, all the Camel's albums between Breathless and The Single Factor included, and some Elo

This album written and produced back in the heady days of the early 1980’s contains what have become anthemic tracks by Pendragon "Leviathan", "Alaska" and of course "The Black Knight" which became a call to be heard regularly chanted in London’s Marquee Club, and a song still achievin
