A pretty good epic, a classic indeed! But I for one cant see the "5 star" in it...besides, I think Karn evil 9 is by far ELP best piece of music

One of the few things by ELP I kind of enjoy.

If I were to make a top 3 of the best songs I ever heard by any band or artist, then Tarkus would be in it. In fact, I listened to it once again this evening (from the dvd Beyond The Beginning). A fabulous piece of music. Keith Emerson's chord sequences are so good, and I love it when Greg Lake starts to sing (have to report that one also in Erik Neuteboom's goosebumps thread). How much better can prog become?

A 5 star suite, but not my favourite ELP song (which is either Take a Pebble or C'est la Vie).

5 star suite.
Not really a masterpeice,not ELP's best long song and quite a long way short of being the best long song.However it is a very inventive and orginal peice with some excellent production tricks.Perhaps a bit dated now compared to their better (IMO) Karn Evil 9 suite though.
