Electric Sun - Beyond The Astral Skies (1985)

The third and final album from this band from Germany.

Uli Jon Roth did the guitars, bass, keyboards and some vocals here.

He got help from numerous guests who added drums, saxophones, viola, violin, timpani, male and female vocals.

Uli Jon Roth, this ex Scorpions guitarist, decided to branch out into some more musicals and rock opera landscape on this album.

There is still a lot of very strong Eloy influences here. His guitars has been neutured and ditto for the pretty complex psych and hard rock he played on the first two albums.

Oh dear..... The vocals is pretty horrible as in twisted and screaming. 

The quality of the songs are pretty bad too. No wonder he closed down this band and returned to his roots. I do not think any of the stuff here is being played live by him these days.... or in the years after this album was released.

The reason is that this album is and sounds like a disaster. It is indeed a turkey.
