The band took their name from the Eloi, a futuristic race of people in the H.G. Wells novel The Time Machine.

Founded in 1969 by guitarist Frank Bornemann, the band has endured several line-up changes, with Bornemann being the only consistent member of the group. In the 1980s, after a series of major splits (like in 1984 although reformed in 1988) in the group, Bornemann pursued a more commercial direction. Despite attracting a large following, the band never gained popularity in the United States.

However, in later years, former members of the band re-joined, and in 1998 fans delighted in hearing Ocean 2, a return to the classic symphonic progressive genre that the band was so well known for. A sequel to the 1977's original, it is commonly thought among fans that it successfully recaptures the spirit of the band, and is a worthy follow-up to the much beloved classic.

Of the band's numerous records, fans generally consider Inside, Floating, Dawn, Ocean, Silent Cries & Mighty Echoes, Planets and Ocean 2 to be the superior albums.

Despite their nationality, the band is not generally considered krautrock due to their sound which has much more in common with English progressive groups such as Pink Floyd and Yes.

In 2009 after a decade of hiatus Frank Bornemann released a DVD celebrating their 40th anniversary and a new album called Visionairy.

In the following period he worked on a concept double album about the life of the Maid of Orleans, Jeanne d'Arc. The album The Vision, the Sword and the Pyre, Pt. 1 was released in 2017, followed by The Vision, the Sword and the Pyre, Pt. 2 in 2019.

Isle Of Sun
Eloy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Someday, somehow

Set me free of my sadness
Push away thoughts of doubt
The darkness pass away
And the sun's gonna shine
All the time when love is near

We will reach a place for us some day
'Cause I know we'll get the land of peace
Somewhere, the time will come
Someday, somehow

We will reach a place for us some day
'Cause I know we'll get the land of peace
Somewhere, the time will come
Someday, somehow

Set me free of my sadness
Push away thoughts of doubt
The darkness pass away
Sun's gonna shine
All the time when love is near

We will reach a place for us some day
'Cause I know we'll get the land of peace

Somewhere, the time will come
Someday, somehow
