We heard Eloy in the 1980 listen and there’s more of them coming but this…is not Eloy. This is Eloy’s drummer. Jurgen Rosenthal apparently went solo and, in keeping with the magic of the era, incorporated a LOT of television and radio soundtracking and dialogue to accompany his groovy prog.
You know what? Is it overblown? Yes. Its it pretentious? Hell yes. But, I had a lot of fun listening to whatever the hell is going on in “Unallgemeine Bestürzung”.
I stuck with this all the way to the original release track, the instrumental audition for a late 70s PBS post apocalyptic film song, “Civilzation Song” (Not as good as Lathe of Heaven, but close) and turned it off after. My recommendation is you don’t even wade that deep.
