This renewed interest in ELOY's music has obviously not passed the band by, having been bombarded with fan mail from all over the world. To this Frank Bornemann said: 'We have received e-mails and letters from enthusiastic fans from all around the world who write to us movingly about how deeply they are affected by our music, how much they identify with it, and how important they considered the band, but also how much they wanted another album or even some concerts. I never expected or even thought that we would ever belong to those bands or artists who receive attention over many decades, and, in this fast paced world, I regard that as a kind of utopia. I admit that all this has impressed me very much, and ultimately moved me to first gather the musicians in the band after 11 long years and ask them whether, in the light of our great fans longstanding loyalty, so tirelessly spreading our music and name, we do not still owe them something. There was a unanimous vote for my proposal to make a new album. We all feel a great deal of gratitude for this recognition and appreciation over such a long time, and we want to express this with a new album, which we explicitly dedicate to our fans. I hope and wish very much that VISIONARY will not disappoint any ELOY fans.'..............it most certainly won't!!
