Ocean 2: The Answer is the sixteenth studio album by the German rock band Eloy, released in 1998.

It is a concept album conceived by Frank Bornemann and inspired by Ocean, the most commercially successful German prog rock album ever. As Bornemann explains, "The question of the meaning of human existence and influences beyond physical perception ultimately became the focus of this conceptual work. I wanted to find the answers to these questions on this album. (...) I am deeply convinced that everything I have formulated on The Answer comes very close to what I subjectively recognize and perceive as reality."
