ELP "Pictures at an Exhibition" (which I've decided isn't that bad at all) & the notorious "Love Beach" (which I've decided is much better than it's reputation! Might even review it . . . currently under intense analysis & scrutiny. No, I'm not a masochist.)
Also Emerson's 1st group, The Nice: "Ars Longa Vita Brevis" and "Nice" -- ELP seems like a natural development from this group. Strip it down to a trio, lay off the echo, find a better drummer . . . . O what hath Sgt Peper wrought?
Peter Hammill "Fool's Mate" -- the only solo album of his I've heard -- quite good! Sounds a lot like VDGG (surprise!)
Magma "Live" -- probably the best intro to the zeuhl school. Kozmik.
Harmonia "Musik von" & "Deluxe" -- good stuff, I really need to check out more Cluster. Kind of intrigued by "Cluster '71" . . .
Yeesh! Nothing but prog-geekery this week . . .
