Warthur
Time to Turn is the sequel to Planets, and continues that album's general approach. On balance, however, I'm not so keen this time around - perhaps because there seems to be a greater emphasis here on Frank Bornemann's vocals, which have always been a particular weak spot for Eloy. Had Eloy just decided to bite the bullet and go all-instrumental I suspect I'd enjoy them much better as a band; as it is, Bornemann's pedestrian, monotonous and distracting vocals impair the music whenever he steps up to the mic (it's the main factor which stopped me giving five stars to any of their classic 1970s albums). Still worth a listen if you absolutely loved Planets, but I suspect I'll be listening to the former more often.
