The album "Ocean" by Eloy is a captivating and atmospheric progressive rock masterpiece. Released by Emi, this iconic album showcases the band's exceptional musicianship and their ability to create a rich sonic landscape that takes listeners on an immersive journey.

With a running time of over 40 minutes, "Ocean" is divided into four distinct parts, each representing different aspects of the ocean. The album opens with "Poseidon's Creation," a powerful and dynamic track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The intricate guitar work, soaring vocals, and intricate keyboard melodies create a sense of grandeur and evoke images of vast expanses of water.

The second part, titled "Incarnation of Logos," delves deeper into the exploration of soundscapes. The haunting synthesizers and ethereal vocals transport listeners to an otherworldly realm, while the pulsating rhythms drive the music forward with intensity.

"Decay of Logos" serves as the third part of the album, offering a more introspective and melancholic atmosphere. The delicate acoustic guitar passages intertwine with emotive vocals, creating a sense of introspection and reflection.

The final part, "Atlantis' Agony at June 5th - 8498, 13 P.M. Gregorian Earthtime," is an epic composition that clocks in at over 15 minutes.
