If you didn't think Lake was one of the better vocalists in rock at that time, listen to this little gem. Lake's "From the Beginning" was the lone hit from the album, a gorgeous rocker littered with his lush acoustic guitar tones, a thrilling lead electric guitar solo, as well as Emerson dropping in a Moog excursion to join in on the fun. 2" is a fantastic vehicle for the keyboard workhorse Keith Emerson, littered with incredible Hammond organ and other keyboards, with Carl Palmer's rumbling drums and Greg Lake's melodic vocals providing the rest of the icing on the cake. Trilogy is without a doubt a bona fide classic from the band, top to bottom filled with gems that have stood the test of time in the annals of progressive rock. It all comes housed in a double digipack with the original artwork, photos, and new essay from Chris Welch. BMG continues on with their reissue series of the ELP catalog, this one also a 2CD set, the first containing the original album remastered in 2015, and the second an alternate version of the album featuring a 2015 stereo mix courtesy of Jakko Jakszyk. It was another remarkable achievement that saw the musical & compositional skills of the trio once again taking another giant leap, as the album was filled with not only uncanny playing but also memorable songs brimming with intelligent melodies and daring arrangements.
Though they were barely two years into their existence, the progressive rock supergroup known as Emerson Lake & Palmer released their fourth album (third studio, one live album) in 1972 titled Trilogy. Emerson Lake & Palmer: Trilogy (remastered)
