Eloy – Ra [LP]

RA was the beginning of a new era for Germany’s most successful art and progressive rock band ELOY. The previous formation had split up completely. But band’s founder, singer, guitarist, songwriter and producer Frank Bornemann was still bursting with ideas that he wanted to pursue on the hitherto so successful path. In keyboardist Michael Gerlach, he finally found a like-minded partner who was able to find his way into the band’s musical visions and create soundscapes with his perfectly suited equipment that, in combination with guitar and vocals, led to unique compositions. RA addresses a topic that, from today’s perspective, seems almost prophetic in view of the fatal developments on our planet and in society. Eloy mastermind Frank Bornemann explains today that, even back then, it appeared humanity was already taking it’s first steps towards a new era, the consequences of which were still unforeseeable in detail, but which would irreversibly change
