Back in '74 I loved all of their music! Still do! But back then I was able to get even with all the hard core country guys in the Navy with "Tocatta" HaHa soooo cool!
A denizen of the progverse am I...through a pool that reflected the black moon of evil did I fall, only to come to ground on this desolate, wrecked plane; and now the music of the three spheres is my only link to my home-but when the worlds on both sides of the great glass are in alignment once more, the pure blue light of their exalted strains will show me the way to go home...
This song brings back memories as one of the first progressive rock albums I ever heard when I found it in my parents' record collection as a kid.This one of ELP's best songs, if not they're best one.
ELP toured with the (back then) state of the art MOOG Modular synthesizer a large,heavy and temperamental instrument that even DR. Moog thought was crazy, but Keith Emerson always made it sound like Heaven.
gotta love that bass...

Great song, based on the first movement of Janáček’s Sinfonietta (1926) (plus some Bach in the middle) ^_^

Listen the original string Quartet, from Leos Janacek. ELP quotes Bach and others also. The best progressive rock !

Yes a great under-rated voice and you might know Lake sang on the first 2 or 3 albums of King Crimson.
