Eloy: EGO On The Rocks - ACID In Wounderland (CD)

(MIG Music) 13 tracks, digisleeve - Bonus track edition

In 1975, German prog rockers Eloy reached the absolute commercial peak of their career with a new lineup. Detlev Schmidtchen's atmospheric keyboard sounds had a decisive influence on the band's sound, while drummer Jürgen Rosenthal (formerly of Scorpions) provided the often mythologically inspired lyrics. Between 1975 and 1979, they produced the successful masterpieces “Dawn,” “Ocean,” and “Silent Cries And Mighty Echoes.”
The double album “Live,” released in 1978, was also a huge commercial success. However, since both Rosenthal and Schmidtchen felt that they were unable to fully express their creativity with Eloy, they left the band in 1979. The two now had to redefine their own artistic identity and market themselves in the future. It was a long and sometimes arduous journey. As pioneers between music and visual art, they created a new soundscape in 1980: Ego On The Rocks, a far cry from the galactic Eloy sound.
Schmidtchen and Rosenthal created a collage of surreal and often bizarre soundscapes, which they mixed with modern progressive rock music, with rock passages alternating with almost ambient-like sequences. What was originally planned as a trilogy unfortunately remained a single vinyl release in 1981 with the album “Alice In Wonderland.” Plans to bring the ambitious work to the stage also failed. Detlev Schmidtchen and Jürgen Rosenthal gave up their EGO project in 1982 and parted ways amicably. “Acid in Wounderland” as a complex Gesamtkunstwerk is and remains an outstanding and unusual album that, even after 45 years, doesn't sound outdated or “retro” in the slightest.
