Living Sin is a great song and another example of ELP in their Heavy-Prog mode. I like that S.Wilson put the extended instrumental section back in on his remix. Between 1:50 & 2:25 with the additional snippet beginning around 2:14.

I like Living Sin a lot, and The Sheriff is not a bad song. Abbadon's Bolero is more of a musical exercise but I don't mind listening to it at the end of the album.

Do you mean the Jakko Jakszyk remix? The one that stuffed up the ending of The Sheriff by mixing the piano down?

Fantastic music and still got the groovy 60's vibe that I love.

Wonderful album, indeed, but somehow I always found it a bit too "polished" compared to the albums that came before and after, which I personally have always preferred over Trilogy...

I  was listening to this in my car about a month ago. While not my personal favorite ELP (that would be the debut) I do think all of their first four studio albums are great. Two of my favorite tracks are on here which are the title track and the endless enigma. From the Beginning is great too. Of course the whole thing is pretty top shelf.

Finally got the time to sit down and spin my origin LP this morning. Stellar, just as I recall it. Admittedly, Abaddon's Bolero at 8:08 is a little long in the tooth and would have been just fine as a 4 minute opener. Then close side 2 with Hoedown.

Trilogy is an album I bought on CD to preserve my vinyl copy.

It's my favorite by ELP, but I've still got a special place for Brain Salad Surgery and Tarkus.

8:00 would have been better.... Tongue. I agree though, it does get a tad long but I have grown to enjoy it quite well.

Living Sin is a great track but typical of ELP it almost doesn't seem to belong. I imagined Greg Lake was trying to sound a bit like Jim Morrison on those low notes, but that's okay. Palmer's drumming is very tight as it's on the whole album while Emerson + Organ = prog heaven.
Abaddon' Bolero is perhaps also another track that's a bit odd and Emerson was deliberately aping Walter/Wendy Carlos style Moog extravaganza. It was however a serious piece of music properly scored for orchestra and worth noting it was played as such at the Keith Emerson tribute concert in Birmingham (UK) with Rick Wakeman on synths.
