 (3 Customer Reviews)
When Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, and Carl Palmer left the Nice, King Crimson, and Atomic Rooster, respectively, they created the first prog-rock supergroup. ELP's 1971 debut was full of just as much bombast, technical facility, and brash classical-rock fusion as prog admirers could have hoped. A large part of the band's appeal was the keyboard mastery of Emerson, who shows both superhuman chops and sophisticated compositional abilities on the classically tinged instrumental "The Barbarian," which opens the album.
"Take a Pebble" and "Lucky Man" represent the more pop-oriented ballad side of the ELP sound, for which bassist and singer Greg Lake is chiefly responsible. The instrumental epics "The Three Fates" and "Tank" find all three musicians interacting at a furious level, throwing awe-inspiring licks around with uncanny ease, with plenty of octopus-armed drumming from Carl Palmer. Epic, ambitious, and overflowing with technical mastery, EMERSON, LAKE AND PALMER paved the way for the prog rock phenomenon of the '70s.

an excellent and original album which seems to blend the NICE and KING CRIMSON into something else.By the way, they were not the first so called "supergroup"-see CREAM etc.

mystical prog debut
most people don't wanna know prog rock thinking it was pretentious and crap, they wanna hear beer drinking rock which is kinda generic get down with your friends type stuff but this album changes all of that. keith has the best organ/piano/synth solos. greg is the voice of a generation with acoustic/electric guitar and bass. carl is the early neil peart on the drums and he kills the kit. the album has a mystical quality to it. nice, cute, gentle, mean, angry, diverse, experimental, twisted, accesible, all of the above. in my top elp album list i choose brain salad as no.1 tied with the debut. good purchase and remastering.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  The Progressive Rockers Debut Remastered Yet Again!
This time around (third if I'm not mistaken) E,L,P's debut has been remastered yet again this time by Shout Records (Sony). I still had the older Rhino Remaster from the later nineties so I compared the two to see if this new one is any better. Slightly but only by a hair! It's output level has been pumped up a bit and that's about it. The music speaks for itself as the band was way ahead of it's time. Keith Emerson from The Nice, Greg Lake from King Crimson and Carl Palmer from The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown was a volatile combo! Not as good as their sophmore release "Tarkus" (which in my opinion was their best album) but still it included the hit "Lucky Man" as well as "Knife Edge", "The Barbarian" and "Take A Pebble" plus two more tracks.

This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering ...

ELP was always more concerned with the fusion of rock and classical music than any of their prog-rock peers. Accordingly they fashioned the title suite (which occupies the album's entire first half) in the mold of a classical composition, each segment meant to represent either a character in or a part of the story. Visually depicted on the inner sleeve, that story is a sci-fi epic featuring strange creatures battling in an alien landscape, none of which matters if you ignore the thin concept and concentrate on the finely wrought music. Musically, the epic "Tarkus" is classic ELP, organ and Moog synths blazing, Carl Palmer unleashing waves of tightly controlled polyrhythm and Greg Lake crooning authoritatively.
Things shift a bit in the second half. "The Only Way" features Emerson's impressive church organ riffing and is structured in the style of a hymn. "Bitches Crystal" is a propulsive piece full of invitingly ...

For an album that begins with an extended two-part piece called "The Endless Enigma" (bifurcated by something called "Fugue") and closes with a rock bolero, TRILOGY is surprisingly song-oriented and accessible. As usual, the long instrumental sections are dominated by Emerson's madman organ ...

Los Angeles-based producer/remixer Rudy Mangual occasionally favors his Latin heritage in the crisp Afro-Cuban beats that underpin most of his debut set, but despite his nickname and the title of his album, The HighEnd Sound is mostly all about the bass. An avowed fan of Lee "Scratch" Perry and other dub mixers, Mangual sets full-bodied dub-style basslines into almost all of these downtempo chill-out grooves, offsetting the bottom end with smart arrangement touches like glissando washes of electric piano and echoing Chet Baker-like muted trumpet lines (the gorgeous album highlight "After Traffic") ...
