Great review. I would say thier s/t debut is the least bombastic of all thier releases. "The Barbarian" has a great bass riff and IMO is reminescent of Uriah Heep/King Crimson and "Knife Edge" could be something from Atomic Rooster with Vincent Crane on keys. "Take A Pebble" is my fav track and showcases all three members working well together. "The Three Fates" is a disappointment for me as I find I'm looking for it to end. "Tank" is pure overkill and what ELP are all about and what I do like about them, in most cases. "Lucky Man" is a fantastic single.

"Tarkus" is definitely the ELP epic. "Trilogy" is a classic. Look forward to your review on Tarkus.
