Album Notes & Community Reviews
Leaning heavily into aggressive, Hammond-organ-driven hard rock before fully embracing their symphonic conceptual era, Eloy delivered a remarkably heavy Krautrock-adjacent triumph. 'Floating' is a fiercely energetic, wonderfully mysterious progressive space-rock album, overflowing with highly complex, deeply psychedelic jams and intensely futuristic science-fiction atmospheres.
