Emerson Lake and Palmer-"Tarkus" (1971)

In reality and more than a progressive rock band to use Emerson Lake and Palmer was a group of virtuosos who enjoyed showing off their enormous skills both in their albums and in their live shows.
Emerson's flaming organ and keyboards, backed up by Palmer's sublime and powerful drums and Lake's vocal sensitivity without neglecting his energetic and masterful bass playing, blended together perfectly creating wonderful albums like this "Tarkus".
"Tarkus" is the first work in which they prove to be an authentic group, combining the qualities of each member above the individualities.
The suite "Tarkus" is considered one of the definitive works of progressive rock, full of intensity and an overwhelming virtuosity that leaves the listener breathless.
The 20-minute duration of this impressive suite, partly weighs on the rest of the album unfairly, where powerful songs such as "A Time And A place" is also an anthological gem, or the rock and roll "Are You Ready Eddy?" where the trio shows their eclectic diversity.
