Eloy (Germany)Floating (1974)Genres: progressive rock, space rockHmm…what can be said about ”Floating” that I haven’t already said on the ”Inside” review? In fact I see these two records as something closely knitted; twin albums if you will. So when all comes down “Floating” is in large parts like “Inside”, particularly the overall sound are the same and the line-up as well, the albums artwork gives further truth to the twin album “theory”.
The only major difference between the albums (of course the songs are not one and the same, I realize that!) is that the songs on “Floating” are a tad weaker, side two being the weakest. The title track on the other hand is very good and refreshing. So then, if you like “Inside” the chance is overwhelming that you, at least, will find this good. I know I did. Start with getting “Inside” first and then get this one if you like that one.
