Format:Audio CD
It is rare to find an album so filled with intense ideas, beautifull melodies and aggressive virtuosity. This is jazz meets heavy metal meets Twenty Century Classical music meets Bach. In short a unique and exhilerating experience.
From the almost 20 minutes (not a second too long) suite Tarkus with it's anti war theme in a modernistic fantasy setting, to the perfect parody and homage to producer Eddie Offord in "Are You Ready Eddy" ("We've only got 'am or cheese"), this album captures the whole range of human moods and follies.
A true classic not to be missed. Furious and fabulous fun!
Most amazing about this album is perhaps that ELP got even better on their next two albums (Trilogy and Brain Salad Surgery).

Another great 5.1 remix by Steven Wilson. I have owned the vinyl version since the 70s and regularly listen to it, still. This 2012 Deluxe edition really has given it a new lease of life by immersing the listener in subtly crafted surround sound. For £10 the DVD-A alone would be worth buying but you also get the original mix and new stereo mixes and even a couple of previously unreleased items. Nice packaging too. I remember seeing ELP at the Empire Pool Wembley on the Brain Salad Surgery tour and hearing the quadraphonic sound swirling round the auditorium. I really hope Steven Wilson gets to work his 5.1 magic on that album soon...

Another exceptional sonic resurrection by Steve Wilson. Tarkus has never sounded better. As with the eponymous first album, Wilson's Tarkus 5.1 mix avoids mindless showmanship, instead it concentrates on delivering a fantastic soundstage for the music. Do yourself a favour. Buy this set!

No Moss on these Stones despite the Years
Tarkus is, in my opinion, one of ELP's best. The title track (all of side 1 in the days of vinyl) is a great piece. Read more

Great but can't tell the difference.
Just played the first two discs of this new remaster and have to say the sound quality is the best it's ever sounded, although it does seem very quiet compared to virtually every... Read more
