Eloy Fritsch

REVIEWS

" Eloy Fritsch is the keyboard player known for his work in the progressive rock group Apocalypse. As a solo artist he creates cosmic electronic music. The closest comparison would be probably Vangelis, if considering his early work, which included many analogue instruments. Nevertheless, Fritsch has found his own style within melodic Electronic Music framework." - Artemi Pugachov, Encyclopedia of Electronic Music.“The 2003 album ATMOSPHERE is a great one: from the start, the well-named "Atmosphere - Electronic Suite" evokes the excellent "Heaven And Hell" (VANGELIS) opus, with emphatic choirs and majestic orchestral parts. The opus reveals once again the Eloy FRITSCH’s ecological convictions: he presently defends the virtues of the gas envelope that allow everyone to live on Earth: the Atmosphere. Take your tickets to an ocean of happiness !” Musea Editorial Review, 2003."Landscapes could be considered an electronic keyboards lover"s dream come true. On his latest album, Eloy Fritsch offers eleven instrumental tracks of seventies inspired keyboard symphonic Prog music. Fans of Vangelis, Jean-Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream and Rick Wakeman (to name a few) should really get into this album. The compositions on Landscapes are all interesting, well performed by a greatly talented musician and the production is of the highest level. Those of you searching for some great, pompus, symphonic keyboard Prog... Landscapes is surely for you. " - ProGGnosis - 2005“DREAMS is a dynamite album featuring some of the most dynamic electronic music I"ve heard. The rhythms are high powered and energetic (hinting at rock), and the melody arrangements are crips and full of bright synthetic tone colors. The recording quality is outstanding as well which gives the music even more punch. Fans of Peru, Schroeder and Garrison take note, this even better." Archie Patterson/EUROCK CATALOG - Aug/96 – EUA“Behind the Walls of Imagination - This is a spiritually charged, often powerful instrumental album that maintains a reverent sense of wonder throughout, sort of like the title implies. If you"re seeking a definitive crossover disc stradding new age and progressive, here ya go!” (John Collinge - Progression The Quaterly Journal of Progressive Music -USA -Fall/Winter 1999-2000).Eloy FRITSCH performs an elegant electronic music that evolves between VANGELIS’ ambient & impressionist electronic, and the synthesised Progressive rock of masters such as Rick WAKEMAN or Patrick MORAZ. With "Space Music", the APOCALYPSE"s brazilian keyboards player goes into parts that are worthy of those last two virtuosos.” Musea Editorial Review, 1998.“Cyberspace - Nicely layered arrangements float serenely by. The emphasis is on orchestral-sounding synthesizers, with soft atmospheric touches. “Lost Paradise” includes majestic rhythms to go along with it, marching triumphantly at a steady pace. The entire work is completely electronic in nature, with a vast array of synthesizers listed in the credits, as well as displayed surrounding the artist on the cover.” - Phil Derby – Nucleous – The Site of Progressive Music, 2003.“Fritsch has found his own style within melodic Electronic Music framework. I think that every EM fan should listen to at least one of his albums. It"s a pity that so many listeners want to hear just bland copies of their favourite musicians and somewhat ignore unique talent and music.” Artemi Pugachov, Encyclopedia of Electronic Music.
