Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, and Carl Palmer are a trio of musicians who were pioneers of their time. Emerson's classic keyboard...ahem, excuse me, PIANO style, is beautiful and he introduced to the mainstream Rock and Roll community in the 1970s to the MOOG synthesizer (a keyboard attached to a computer), which is the granddaddy and birth-giver of synthetic music. Carl Palmer is a percussionist with whom there is no comparison. On strings is Greg Lake, who has the voice of an angel one moment and can scream in perfect tune the next moment. From this album, Brain Salad Surgery, listeners would be most familiar with "Karn Evil 9, first impression". A current US television advertisement features the line, "Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends....Come and see the show!" The ELP song to make it to mainstream from Brain Salad Surgery is "Still. You Turn Me On". I may be biased with my love of ELP, as I had the great fortune to see them live a thousand years ago (or so). The MOOG took 2/3 of the stage.Read full review
This Album is by far the best ELP recording. They are masters of sound for a 3 piece band. With their classical training, ELP can never be replicated like todays lame music. This is one of the best concept albums of the 1970's, and the recording quality is exceptionally fantastic. One of the best bands of an forgotten era.

For the most part I love the album, the only thing is the tracks seem to be recorded at different levels??? 2 of the tracks I need to almost "peak" my volume to hear them. ( it's not because they are soft songs, it's the level) But aside from that I am happy with the product. I would order again from the dealer, but if there were any sound issues again, I would not.
I bought this CD, because I always wanted to. I listened to it long time ago.Beautifully illustrated CD, great quality.In many respects the CD is superior to the others.
