Chronicles I is the first of a two parts re-recorded hits compilation by German progressive rock band Eloy released in 1993. The second part, Chronicles II has been released the following year.

Due to the poor sound quality of old Eloy albums and the pression of the fans, Frank Bornemann decided to re-record some of the fan's favorite songs with modern recording technologies. He invited some of the former members of the band to play on the album[1].

Chronicles I contains songs from Ocean (1977), Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes (1979), Colours (1980), Planets (1981) and Time to turn (1982) re-recorded and mixed in 1993. The album also contains one previously unreleased track from the album Destination (1992).
