Raff, is there any post-'tyranny and mutation' album really WORTH listening to. In fact, the album with the dinosaur I remember having checked out a while ago sounded very uninteresting to my ears and the second album is already weaker than the first one IMHO.


A whole list of them, but then again, if you think T&M is weaker than their debut, you might not be too impressed by any of them. In fact, Secret Treaties is the strongest of the 'black and white' trilogy. Then I would recommend Cultosaurus Erectus (which you said you didn't like) and Fire of Unknown Origin (my avatar), both produced by Martin Birch, and this Imaginos. I like most of the others too, but they might be too 'radio-friendly' for your tastes.
OK, Raff, thanks for the recommendations. As I mentioned previously, it's been a while sinceI listened to the dinosaur album, and as you may know tastes change through years. I like some "radio-friendly" music, so maybe my opinion on post-T&M BÖC albums may change.

Different, I'd say. You could try reading my review or Micky's, to get an idea of what to expect. It's a great album indeed, but there are a couple of 'easier' songs that might put off some people.

I consider them equals (although if I had to choose one, I think it would be The Crane Wife).

The Crane Wife has "The Island" though, which I know you will like, Jeff- symphonic prog in The Decemberists' style.  Thumbs Up

Like Raff said, it's different. A bit more alt. rock sounding overall, but still with very strong material specially the 12 minute The Island and the 11 minute The Crane Wife 1 & 2.

The best rock version is the one by Mekong Delta. Too much weirdness and psychedelia in the ELP version.
 
But no rock version can beat the original version though...
