TRILOGY

The hell of an album. It shows ELP at their full force, and is absolutely essential for everyone that likes prog or piano works. It may be not quite as excentrical and stunning as it's follower (brain salad surgery), but it's plenty of beautiful moments and great instumental works. And also has some of their characteristical mad energy on hoedown and the title track, plus it's got their biggest radio classic: from the beginning. I also think that the endless enygma suite, is a perfect way to introduce listeners to the genre.
