ELOY ‘POWER AND THE PASSION 1975 GERMAN HARVEST VINYL LP IN GATEFOLD SLEEVE
Released in 1975, POWER & THE PASSION, is an album organized like picaresque novel, each song a different adventure in the life of a boy named Jaime. This 10 song album includes "Introduction," "Imprisonment," and "Back Into The Present." Much like Eloy's 1973 LP, Inside, Power and the Passion acts as a transitional album. It contains all the elements that would ensure the artistic success of future albums like Dawn and Ocean.
For the first time, the group develops a single story over two LP sides. Gordon Bennit (who had penned down the lyrics to "Plastic Girl" from the previous year's Floating) developed a narrative in which Jamie, the son of a scientist, absorbs a "time eroding" drug and finds himself in Paris, in the year 1358. He meets Jeanne, whom he introduces to marijuana.
After time spent in jail following a peasants' mutiny against their landlord, Jamie finds a eccentric magician that sends him back to his own time frame. The various episodes of this story are not well articulated, but singer Frank Bornemann has managed to write songs that fit the specific mood of each one. The introduction of synthesizers, Mellotron, and electric piano in "Love Over Six Centuries," "Imprisonment," and "The Bells of Notre Dame" announce the direction of the next albums, while the "Introduction," "Daylight," and "Back Into the Present" stay closer to the hard-rocking edge of earlier efforts.
Paradoxically, this duality is what gives Power and the Passion its character and compensates for its structural flaws.
Sleeve condition: Ex+/Near Mint
Record Condition: Record looks unplayed without a trace of centring or handling marks. In ‘as new’ condition and plays flawlessly. There can’t be another out there in this condition.
I am currently listing or am in the process of preparing to list in the coming weeks and months, several thousand Japanese, Krautrock, Dutch and Norwegian and UK prog rock in. I will also shortly be listing an extensive collection of Metal, Hair Metal, Heavy Metal and NWOBHM. If any of this is your bag, keep an eye on my site.
