Dear ELOY Friends,
the mixes for the documentary of our live tour 2012/13 are finally
finished. Unfortunately, it took a little longer because we needed corresponding studio
time for the preparation of so much song material, which, due to capacity constraints
and our own availability, had to be done in several stages. So the whole thing has gone
on for some months, although we can already promise you that the effort was worth it!
Even while listening to all the concert footage we were aware of what
a unique, almost magical atmosphere we shared with you throughout the tour, and it was
often difficult to pick out the best version of each track for our live documentary.
But there was always, ultimately a definitive take, the absolute
highlight of the tour, which has now found its way on tape. I have put my back into the
work in order to draw out every subtlety in the mixing of each track, which possibly in
the Wall of Sound at the respective venues was not always clear and defined enough to be
heard everywhere.
Close friends who visited me during mixing, assisted by the engineers
Arne Neurand and Mirko Hofmann in the studio, were even of the opinion that some of the
live versions of the songs surpassed the studio recordings, which I was particularly
pleased about because, for the first time on this tour, we were able to muster a line-up
which allowed us to really perform all the songs authentically and without compromise,
and this consistently with musicians, all of whom, partly in different eras, have also
shaped the music as permanent members of the band on the other releases.
The luxury of having two guitarists and two keyboardists capable of
reproducing almost every musical and tonal detail from the original recordings live,
and ultimately also to have the original guest singers from the former studio recording
sessions there, complemented by the superb soloist Alexandra Seubert, has given us a
euphoric and unique sense of belonging, which accompanied us through the entire musical
retrospective of our more than two-and-a-half-hour program.
To this end, we have chosen a special title for this musical document,
namely
REINCARNATION ON STAGE!
Finally, our thanks once again to all who were present at the concerts
and who have made this first live recorded statement for over 30 years possible. Every
night was an event full of emotion and passion, in which everyone - inspired by a unique
atmosphere - gave everything.
The album will be released as a double CD, covered in a high value
8-page digi pack on January 17th 2014. Pre orders can be made in the
Eloy Shop
soon.
We wish you lots of fun with
REINCARNATION ON STAGE.

Dear ELOY Friends
For more than a year, it had disappeared from the shelves of record stores.
It was considered »sold out« or even »deleted« in the catalogue lists
of the record industry. The album »The Tides Return Forever«, which is considered
one of the best works in the discography of the band, had become virtually inaccessible to
interested ELOY fans lacking this jewel in their collection. On the second hand market, it
was being traded at astronomical prices and the chance of still getting hold of a copy in
reasonable condition increasingly headed towards zero.
THE TIDES RETURN FOREVER REMASTERED

Artist Station Records has now addressed this problem and is releasing
the newly remastered album towards the year’s end, making it affordable to everyone once
again. ELOY mastermind Frank Bornemann has even managed a really impressive remix of the
grandiose title track as a bonus track, making this work highly recommended for any
Prog Rock fan and a must for any ELOY fan.
»The Tides Return Forever« is unquestionably among the
absolute highlights of this musical genre and is guaranteed not only to thrill ELOY
fans with its impressive compositions, excellent sound creations and unique atmospheres.
Surely this record is one of the best works this internationally recognised rock legend
from Germany ever released.
Warmest regards,
Your team at Artist Station Records
