Inside (Eloy album)

Inside is the second studio album by German rock band Eloy, released in 1973.

Since their debut album's release in 1971, vocalist Erich Schriever left the band, and drummer Helmuth Draht was replaced by Fritz Randow. Inside was also bassist's Wolfgang Stöcker last appearance as a professional musician - soon after the album's release he decided to retire from music, in order to achieve a more peaceful and financially stable life, according to the band's leader Frank Bornemann.

Some music critics believe that Eloy's sound was heavily influenced by Jethro Tull in that album. In particular, George Starostin feels that Eloy "rip-off" Jethro Tull in some of their songs, but "these rip-offs never sound offensive - somehow, Eloy are able to incorporate them smoothly into their own image and identity, which is certainly different from Tull's".
