This is ELP I like. Not only dominant Emerson's virtuosity, but more team work
represented.The album opens with excellent 'Endless Enigma' with its two parts
and 'Fugue' as an intermediate;then Lake's acoustical beauty 'From The Beginning' is
followed by 'The Sheriff' I would say traditional ELP track in the sense that on each
record it has to be one number totally out of tune, as it was ' Are You Ready Eddie? ' on
Tarkus (dedicated to their engineer Eddie Offord). Arrangement of Aaron
Copland's 'Hoedown' is closing side one of the record in superior ELP manner, being a
real highlight. On side two, only the title track opener offers superb ELP mood, while
other two tracks seem to be real fillers. Nevertheless, this release (together with the
follower) presents the peak of ELP most creative period and deserves four stars.
