I used to have Spartacus decades ago, but I never thought much of it. I used to have quite a few Triumvirat LP’s - I only hung on to Mediterranean Tales and Illusions......
I still have all my ELP. So, BSS it is. |

BSS is my favourite album.
I really hated Spartacus when I first heard it but it does have some good moments even if Jurgen is trying so hard to be his hero it's almost painful. Illusion on a Double Dimple was much better. Parodoxically , although trying to be ELP style wise it remains original and inventive. I just feel that parts of Tarkus have been lifted and chucked into a lame retelling of the great slave revolt story. nb- Partick Moraz was probably the best Emerson 'imitator' by several country miles. Such a shame that Refugee only got one album out.

Not a bad pairing, but Spartacus is a tad iffy, so 'Salad'.

I like Triumvirat, but they can't beat the original...

For me Spartacus is neither as good as Brain Salad Surgery nor Ilusions on a Double Dimple.

Tempting, but BSS is a classic.

ELP - BSS No contest. Don't get me wrong...I love T-Rat, since 1972 when I stumbled upon their debut at a record store at the tender age of 14. But I've always seen them as ELP Lite. Spartacus is Trilogy Lite at best.

Don´t like Triumvirat at all, Brain Salad is not also my biggest faves, but it has some really great moments (for example Jerusalem).

Brain Salad Surgery is a better and a more original album.
