TRILOGY

Well I give a "4 stars and an half" evaluation to this famous album, because this work is the most accessible and let the listener who is not into such "Prog music" be closer and understand the sense of working in progress. The title track is fantastic, above all the first section, then the second movement of such mini-suite becomes a bit prolix, because it's characterized by some excesses, as sometimes it happens. The adaptation from Aaron Copland's "Rodeo" is stunning, and a classic one as well; instead the "Endless Enigma" is another accessible suite, whose final crescendo is unforgettable!!

Recommended and perhaps the most personal album by ELP!! Along with "Brain Salad Surgery", talking about the compositions by EMERSON within, and by forgetting also his adaptations for a while!
