Excellent news!! Truth be told, it took me longer to recognize the greatness of ELP than any other prog band - I took to bands like Trettargia Kriget, Le Orme, Van Der Graaf Generator like a fish to water...... but ELP was a different story, and then all of a sudden it hit me -
everyone who bitches about their excess is wrong. Bands need to wear capes and kimonos, and have floating pianos and have drums that are so heavy they need to be assembled by a crane, etc. That's what rock and roll
should be about, not some smelly show in a mouse ridden basement with some shitty freegans serving moldy potatoes........ Honestly do yourself a favour and listen to Tarkus - just the song, the rest of the album is a little harder to enjoy for not-yet-converts. you'll be happy you did!!!
