A huge band with a confused history, Eden drew on a wide range of musics in their complex progressive style, lots of folk references, adapted classical melodies, etc. Aptly, in tune with their name, Eden were also very much a religious group, as virtually all of their songs use texts taken from the Bible, and amount to Teutonic rock-opera's in a sense. At their best (as on ERWARTUNG) Eden come across as a blend of early Renaissance, Novalis and Hoelderlin, together with some neo-progressive touches! Eden are interconnected with various other bands on the Lord and Pila labels.
