Eloy : Banda alemã de rock progressivo, cujos estilos musicais incluem rock sinfônico e space rock, este último principalmente presente nos álbums mais recentes. O nome da banda foi inspirado em Eloi, uma raça do futuro na novela A Máquina do Tempo, de H.G. Wells. Apesar da nacionalidade, a banda não é considerada participante do movimento Krautrock, devido ao seu som parecer mais com bandas britânicas de rock progressivo, como Yes..........
Fundada no final dos anos 1960 pelo guitarrista Frank Bornemann, a banda sofreu várias mudanças, sendo Bornemann o único membro consistente do grupo. Foi inspirada por bandas como The Beatles, The Shadow e Pink Floyd, este último pelo tom de space rock que possuia na época. A princípio, a banda tocava hard rock, inspirada por temas políticos, mas logo passou para um som mais progressivo, com elementos de space. Baseado principalmente nos solos de guitarra de Bornemann, o som da banda também inclui o vasto uso de sintetizadores e coros.
Em 1971 foram para Hamburgo gravar seu primeiro LP. O primeiro contrato com uma grande gravadora veio em 1973, com a EMI. Foram então promovidos à uma das banda mais influentes da cena da época. Os álbuns vendiam cada vez mais, alcançando o auge de sucesso com Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes, lançado em 1979. Na época a formação da banda contava com Frank Bornemann na guitarra e vocal, Klaus Peter Matziol no baixo, Detlev Schmidtchen no teclado e Jürgen Rosenthal na bateria, que também escrevia as letras das canções.
Na década de 1980, depois de uma série de trocas no grupo, Bornemann seguiu para um caminho mais comercial. Apesar de atrair público, a banda nunca ganhou popularidade nos Estados Unidos. Apesar disso, membros antigos da banda reuniram-se novamente, e em 1998 os fãs puderam conferir Ocean 2, um retorno ao gênero clássico do progressivo sinfônico do qual a banda era conhecida. Uma sequência do original de 1977, é considerado entre fãs como uma captura bem sucedida do espírito da banda.

Do Mato ao Progressivo

Porque 'Do Mato ao Progressivo'.Simplesmente porque aqui estarei postando álbuns de grandes músicos brasileiros, tais como Elomar Figueira de Mello, Geraldo Azevedo até bandas como Eloy, Camel, Le Orme e etc. Serão colocados alguns links de sites ou blogs que contenha as informações corretas sobre as bandas para que não haja distorções e também os links de onde baixar os álbuns completos [Megaupload e derivados]. Lembrando sempre que o meu objetivo não é escrever ladainhas à respeito das bandas, isso já tem em vários outros blogs, e sim, repassar uns arquivos que tenho aqui entocado no meu micro.

Abraços à todos.

Beto Mineiro.
