    Rating:
    Another unbelievable prog band from the 70's and England, Greg Lake should be known to most prog fans, bassist/vocalist from King Crimson. Together with 2 other brilliant musicians - Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer - he formed ELP in the beginning of the 70's. This is their second and also most famous album I believe, which contains some of the best progressive rock I've heard so far. There's both jazz-, classical as well as electronic influences here, very solid album although the most important part is the wonderfully weird 20-minute first track. If you like bands such as King Crimson and Yes, you shouldn't have any problems with this.
