There were not many 3-piece bands that created as much sound and energy on stage as Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

Greg Lake had already walked out on one of Progessive Rocks main-stayers King Crimson, after their much-aclaimed and hugely sucessful debut album, 'In the Court of The Crimson King', to follow Keith Emerson's dream of an orchestral 'Super-Nice'. Drummer, Carl Palmer made up the final part of the trio.

This was an era when experimentation, LSD and the British invasion not only ruled the musical waves, but they could do no wrong. ELP were no exception.

Taking a composition from a 19th century Russian composer named Modest Petrovich Mussogsky, Pictures at an Exhibition is one of ELP's finest.

The title's of each song are pretty meaningless, what is important is the interaction between the trio and how well they perform. Keith Emerson with his screaching keyboard sounds, along with Carl Palmers timely percussion and Greg Lake's haunting vocals, create an electrifying orchestral sound which still sounds fantastic nearly 35 years on.

. º¤¤ø,¸¸, º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º WELCOME to ciao! º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º ,¸¸,ø¤º ,¸¸,ø¤¤º. I know this album. Maybe you could include an information about the songs on it, a comparation (if you know the original) to the original composition. As an excurs, a small info about the unhappy life of Modest Mussorgsky would be good. And about how and why "Pictures of an exhibition" has been written originally. That all makes a good review. Cheers Edgar
