TRILOGY

Solid album that consolidated ELP's position of high standing within the prog fraternity.Not a single bad track ,I particularly like Emersons use of polyphonic synths on 'Abaddons Bolero' to create an orchestral feel a la Walter Carlos.Other stand out tracks include the instrumental cowboy music inspired peice 'Hoedown' and the beautifull Greg Lake song 'From The Beginning'.But as I said there's nothing here to quibble about although I have to hold back giving 5 stars as there was still better to come!
