About, I don't know, a year. Haven't been into ELP for a while.

You should, though in my opinion, the only thing worthy on the album is the title track. |

Jazz-rock conspiracy? Zappa and Miles played at the same festivals in the summer of '69 right BEFORE Hot Rats AND Bitches Brew were recorded. |

About a month ago. But I probably went 20 years without listening to any ELP. Like alot of 70s prog, not all of it wears well over time.

It's been a couple years. I don't have any urge to listen to it any time soon, either. I may give it another listen a year or so from now if I feel like it.

May 5th, 2012, just after midnight.
 I remember that because that was the album I was listening to on the way to pick up my sister-in-law at the train station. |

Two years ago, I think. I've heard it twice if I recall correctly. Always been a bigger fan of Trilogy and Tarkus just doesn't get listened to when I'm in the mood for ELP which isn't often.

Sorry mate, but your first ever listen to Tarkus and the only thing that comes to your mind is asking when was the last time we heard it??! I don't know what to make of that
I hope you will tell us what did you think of it.
Tarkus was one of the very first prog songs / albums I got into as a child, my older family playing it a lot when I did not even know what masturbation was, and it has remained one of my favourite songs ever.
So after all these years (I'm 45 now) it's quite "hardwired" in my brain and I do not feel the need to play it much anymore even if I still love it as much as back then.
The studio version I didn't listen to for surely over a year, maybe even 2 years, the last time I listened to it was from the Live At Nassau Colisseum album, maybe around 3 months ago.

Since I joined PA I've been re-discovering all the old bands I listened to a lot to in the old days, except for Floyd who's always been with me.
I've found that I still like a lot of them, and especially ELP, and Tarkus. I give it a spin every month or so. |

A couple of months ago. It's probably the best piece the band ever wrote.
Hey, I just looked up "Tarkus" on Wikipedia and, after doing a verification, found out that it's the Estonian word for "Wisdom". Kind of makes sense, given the anti-war lyrics. |

If Emerson's autobiography is a reliable source (of which I'm frankly dubious) he claims the title was inspired by Henry Williamson's 1927 novel Tarka the Otter Edited by ExittheLemming - June 09 2012 at 01:51 |
