Eloy is a progressive rock band from Germany, whose musical style includes symphonic and space rock, the latter being more prevalent on earlier albums. The band took their name from the Eloi, a futuristic race of people in the H.G. Wells novel The Time Machine. Founded in 1969 by guitarist Frank Bornemann, the band has endured several line-up changes, with Bornemann being the only consistent member. In the 1980s, after a series of major splits in the group (which disbanded in 1984 and reformed in 1988), Bornemann pursued a more commercial direction. Nevertheless, despite the large following, the band never gained popularity in the United States. Despite their nationality, the band is not generally considered krautrock due to a sound closer to English progressive groups such as Pink Floyd and Yes. In later years, former members of the band re-joined, and in 1998 fans delighted in hearing Ocean 2, a return to the classic symphonic progressive genre that the band was so well known for. A sequel to the 1977's original, it is commonly thought among fans to have successfully recaptured the spirit of the band and is considered a worthy follow-up to the much beloved classic. In 2009, after a decade of hiatus, Frank Bornemann released a DVD celebrating their 40th anniversary and a new album called Visionairy. In the following period he worked on a concept double album about the life of the Maid of Orleans, Jeanne d'Arc. The album The Vision, the Sword and the Pyre, Pt. 1 was released in 2017, followed by The Vision, the Sword and the Pyre, Pt. 2 in 2019. Of the band's numerous records, fans generally consider Inside, Floating, Dawn, Ocean, Silent Cries & Mighty Echoes, Planets and Ocean 2 to be the superior albums.
