Excellent album, I often get back to it. A shame this line up did only one album.

I think Bruford is the best drummer in the world, but on the other hand I havenīt been very interested his music outside Crimson & Yes (and that small period in Genesis). What I read about UK, it havenīt sound very interesting. But I guess I have to listen it some of these days (at least there are great drum playing). Also, I havenīt ever cared about Holdsworth.

Perhaps finding the happy medium is harder than we know.

One of my favorite records of all time. It's underrated IMHO because of who is involved relative to their former works, and how "late" this came out. It's a peak in that style IMHO. Prog perfection, overlooked. This is what ELP should have been for me.
In the Dead of Night is one of the most succinct, aggressive, perfectly articulated prog rock epics of all time.

I love both their albums. The debut is more fusion based so it took me a while to warm to it but I got their in the end. Still sounds fresh to this day. Danger Money is one of the few examples of a band out 'ELPing' ELP . Carrying No Cross is just imperious keyboard based prog. I also purchased the re-issue of Night and Day. This captures the trio during their Japanese tour and is good fun. I stopped short at buying the stupidly expensive box set though which includes the 90's reunion stuff (again its the trio with Bozzio). Petty that Wetton and Jobson didn't do more together but I guess John decided that 'paying the bills' was the priority over artistic endeavour.

I heard so much praise towards this album / band that I ended up getting it (and the first live one too), however I ended up rather disappointed. It just won't click with me, I feel the melodies don't really come together, and I just can't get past Wetton's singing (even though I have learned to tolerate them with Crimson). I wonder if the newer live album sounds any better.

Word of the day is anacrusis. DM is excellent also.

An excellent anacrusis to Danger Money, which is top 10 for me.

It's a great album. Too bad they couldn't keep that lineup for a while. Imagine what they could have done.

First UK release with Bruford, Holdsworth, Jobson, Wetton. This album, to me, is perfect. It still sounds fresh, the playing and songwriting... killer. What are your thoughts?
