ELP was always more concerned with the fusion of rock and classical music than any of their prog-rock peers. Accordingly they fashioned the title suite (which occupies the album`s entire first half) in the mold of a classical composition, each segment meant to represent either a character in or a part of the story. Visually depicted on the inner sleeve, that story is a sci-fi epic featuring strange creatures battling in an alien landscape, none of which matters if you ignore the thin concept and concentrate on the finely wrought music. Musically, the epic "Tarkus" is classic ELP, organ and Moog synths blazing, Carl Palmer unleashing waves of tightly controlled polyrhythm and Greg Lake crooning authoritatively.
Things shift a bit in the second half. "The Only Way" features Emerson`s impressive church organ riffing and is structured in the style of a hymn. "Bitches Crystal" is a propulsive piece full of invitingly angular keyboard work. Things close on a light note, with the `50s rock & roll-style (!) "Are You Ready Eddy?" (directed at TARKUS engineer Eddie Offord).

    • Great album, mediocre sound quality recording

      ELP is a great progressive trio from the 70's. Probably the best of that genre. I saw ELP perform Tarkus in concert in the early 70's after the release of this concept album and never lost interest in the music. However I bought this version at a premium price as it was advertised as a remaster, meaning better sound quality. I have my doubts it actually is. No where on the package does it specify remastered. Music and performances are great, sound quality is mediocre. Save some money and just buy the standard issue.
