WORKS VOL. 1

A difinitive album to say the least. This is what muscianship and WRITING is all about. Never mind the critics "ELP's ego's gone askew" So What! Who's it hurting. Three members of a trio showing off thier incredible talents. Over indulgent? No Way! Give me more. Loved Keith's side one. Greg's side is one of the most amazing things I've ever heard. The lyrics are spell binding (Pete Sinfield, take a bow). Carl's side explores an ever changing wide range of musical venues. The Band's side is unbelieveble." Fanfare" takes you from a classical structure to a full blown jam. Pirates is probably the best example of rock,classical music and lyrics coming together to produce somthing that has been unequaled to date. The only thing pompous about this album is the "naysayers" attitude to one of the most original records ever released.
