Album Notes & Community Reviews

Constructed as a sweeping, highly spiritual concept album concerning a man's reincarnation and philosophical awakening, Eloy's 'Dawn' is a classic of German progressive rock. The record relies on heavy synthesizer orchestration to build a remarkably epic, wonderfully triumphant atmosphere, blending deeply introspective, deeply sentimental lyricism with soaring space-rock psychedelia.
