Album Notes & Community Reviews

Eloy achieved the absolute pinnacle of their lush, Pink Floyd-indebted space rock sound with this massively ambitious, highly symphonic progressive rock masterwork. 'Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes' is a deeply atmospheric, highly philosophical album loaded with sweeping synthesizers, beautifully melodic guitar solos, and profoundly spiritual cosmic epics.
