Ocean 2: The Answer
Ocean 2: The Answer is the seventeenth album by German progressive rock band Eloy, released in 1998. It was the conceptual and, some would say, musical follow-up to the band's 1977 album Ocean.
This album saw the addition to the band of drummer Bodo Schopf.
The keyboard outro to "Reflections from the Spheres Beyond" is very reminiscent of the main theme to the '70s American sci-fi TV series, "Battlestar Galactica."
