Fluxion is the debut studio album by German post-metal band the Ocean, released in November 2004 through Make My Day Records. It is the first part of a two-CD project that ended with Aeolian. The two albums were meant to be released together as a double album, but this was cancelled due to financial issues.
Fluxion focuses more on the band's atmospheric and progressive side, including orchestral and electronic elements, whereas Aeolian is more aggressive, focusing on the band's hardcore punk and extreme metal influences.
The album was re-released in 2009 with new vocal tracks by then-lead vocalist Mike Pilat.
