Nothing like a good cosmic concept album based on Plato's story about the lost city of Atlantis to celebrate the 3rd year of Prog Notes, eh? Drew and Destin dive deep into the themes of Ocean by German prog rockers Eloy and contextualize its significance with the history of the band along with the musical and geopolitical landscape during the 1970s. Drew also nerds out when adding some supplemental information about Greek mythology to the overarching story on this groovy, psychedelic record which many claim has a sound akin to Pink Floyd. Finally, the co-hosts venture into another installment of Illustrations And Impressions as they analyze the compelling artwork on Eloy's most popular record to date.
**Prog Notes is a podcast dedicated to the genre of progressive rock. Each episode Destin and Drew tackle an album and delve into the different musical compositions, lyrics, and concepts that make it prog rock.

With each new episode, these two childhood friends encourage more people to investigate this unique, sometimes forgotten genre of music and find an album or band they can enjoy.
