A piano-driven affair, Emerson incorporates jazz and classical influences into a veritable feast of improvisation.

The Barbarian evokes echoes of Guaraldi while disseminating Bartok. Just Take a Pebble combines strummed piano strings, Lake's evocative lyrics and vocals, avid percussion and even a hoedown into a singularly beautiful composition. But your progressive feast has only begun!

Read Bradbury's Pillar of Fire as you balance on the Knife-Edge. Soon your Three Fates will lead you down a Lake-less path of organ bombast; as you continue watch out for the improvisational extrapolations the Pebble cast earlier - but mind the vibraslap and honky-tonk, they're rabid. Have fun driving in your Tank as you view the wasteland Tarkus will wreak all too soon. And if you're wondering who the Lucky Man is, you need look nor further: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08R4m-TMXyI
