Ocean II marks something of a return to form for Eloy, after some rather mediocre albums from the mid 80's through to the 90's. It features Frank Bornemann together with Klaus Peter Matziol, keyboardist Michael Gerlach (with whom Bornemann had collaborated since 1988's Ra) and new drummer Bodo Schopf. Despite its title, this album bears little resemblance to 1977's Ocean, although it is easily the best album since Planets or Time to Turn, and could be best compared with this era Eloy. Bornemann and Klaus Peter Matziol are in fine form, Gerlach's use of classic ARP and Moog synths lends this album something of a 70's feel, and Bodo Schopf, although not Jurgen Rosenthal, is probably the next best thing for Eloy. There are some long tracks to be found, most notably the excellent 13 min "Reflections from the Spheres Beyond" whose music well and truly lives up to the title. IMO the only real disappointment is the closing 11 min track, "The Answer" which is a less than satisfying conclusion to an otherwise great album. -- Daniel Briggs
