Emerson Lake & Palmer
'Trilogy'
Island, UK, 1972
ILPS 9186
THEY DON't make 'em like this anymore. Following hot on the heels of the impressive 'Pictures At An Exhibition' this was the bands first studio excursion since the brilliant 'Tarkus' and it did not disapoint - far from it! The bands penchant for wide screen epic prog rocking was further consolidated and enhanced by the material recorded here kicking off with the wonderfully brazen 'The Endless Enigma Part One & Two' taking up most of side one and leaving no musical stone unturned in a quest to impress and dazzle. The band are working as a tight unit throughout and individual dexterity is limited to what is best for the song rather than the individual. Thus the emphasis is on collective expression and not on extravagant soloing.
'Trilogy' the title track is a sonic dazzler with a teriffically intense finale before giving way to the super heavy riffage of 'Living Sin', one of the bands most impressive 'short' tracks in their entire cannon.
One of the best ELP albums and a superb copy.
