Charismatic Jürgen Rosenthal joined the newly
established band in 1976. He played drums and percussion and also wrote
the lyrics for ELOY. He had previously played for the »Scorpions«,
with whom he recorded the 1974 album »Fly To The Rainbow«, produced by
Frank Bornemann.
His creative percussion sounds and his voice greatly contributed to the sound
from 76 to 79. Together with the other band members, he was part of the most
successful phase of ELOY. When, after the release of
»Silent Cries And Mighty Echoes«
in 1979, the band set up their own recording studio, Jürgen and
Detlev Schmidtchen
left ELOY. In 1980 they released the album »Ego - Acid In Wonderland«.
Jürgen also wrote lyrics for two follow-up projects to ELOY, »Shade«
and the rock ballet »Faust«. Together with
Klaus-Peter Matziol
he recorded the albums »Echo Park« (1988) and »Pretty Lies« (1995).
Jürgen Rosenthal was involved in the following ELOY productions:
Dawn (Album, 1976)
Ocean (Album, 1977)
