Yeah, ITCOTCK is one of the best debut albums i have ever heard, its a shame they only did one album with Greg Lake on bass.

I also ask that everyone who is reading this right now click my signature.

Right now Progressive Classic Rock is my favorite genre. A few of my top bands at the moment:

ELP
Genesis
King Crimson
Triumvirat
Yes

EDIT: And by the way, that's one hell of a write-up you wrote too man!!

I find "Disco Volante" to be more "weird" thn their S/T. Mr. Bungle's a great band though.
