here are some pictures from the video
called "ASYLUM"

In 1975, the Hannover progressive rock band ELOY started
with a new line-up, their most
commercial climex of their career, with Jürgen
Rosenthal and Detlev Schmidtchen.
A few years later the atmosphere froze
completely. Jürgen and Detlev had enough
" of all those mechanisms and
spheres that restrained our creativity, dimmed our horizon
of awareness and destroyed our identity ".
For them, it was time to re- define their musical
identity and deal with the market themselves.
It was a long way to go.
They created their own sound image of the world
: "EGO on the Rocks". Instead of celebrating
galactic sounds, they designed surreal and
bizarr sond patterns and mixed them with
modern progressive rock music. The debut album,
published in 1981, presented the rather
slack German prog rock in top form again.
