TARKUS

Tarcus, to my opinion, is THE best ELP album. A unique and touching album. Should sit at every proglover's shelf. In the centre, of course, there's Kieth Emerson with the organ/piano. his jazzy/cool/amazing/divine style leads in all of the songs. As opposed to other albums, this album's lyrics are very good.

Tarcus itself is a great multi-episode creation. It just roots you to your sit. Simply amazing.

But if you thought all the goodies end here your'e quite wrong. That's because EVERY track after the Tarcus episodes is almost as good as Tarcus! The amazing "The only way" is even as good as Tarcus.

When I got the album I couldn't stop hearing it for a long period of time. It's worth every dollar/pound/euro etc. spent on it.

It's my second (after Crimson's "Lizard") all time favourite album, and it gets the 5 stars grade (it deserves) from me.
