Emerson, Lake & Palmer - The Three Fates (Official Audio)

Formed in 1970, Emerson, Lake & Palmer helped define and set new standards throughout one of the most ambitious and experimental periods in 20th-Century popular music. Drawn from The Nice, King Crimson, and Atomic Rooster respectively, they were hailed as progressive rock’s first supergroup. Combining driving dynamics, intricate arrangements, and virtuosic skill, between 1970 and 1978, ELP released seven studio recordings and three live albums. Such was their popularity on both sides of the Atlantic that their records repeatedly achieved Platinum status sales.

Titles such as Tarkus, Trilogy, and Brain Salad Surgery created distinctive worlds that incorporated soaring themes, other-worldly timbres, yearning ballads, humorous pastiche and dramatic long-form conceptual works. While they adapted pieces by classical composers as stylistically varied as Bartok, Mussorgsky, Copland, Ginastera and Rodrigo, ELP sounded like nobody else but themselves.

The trio performed live one final time at London’s High Voltage Festival in July 2010 just weeks short of their debut gig 40th anniversary.
Although Keith Emerson and Greg Lake both sadly passed away in 2016, interest in ELP continues to grow, and Carl Palmer’s own band regularly performs a setlist dedicated to the unique music he helped create. ELP's music continues to find new audiences more than 50 years from their beginning, a striking testament to the group's irrepressible blend of energy, eclecticism, and visceral excitement.

Il primo disco in vinile da 33 g., era arrivato dalla Scozia mio fratello più grande, con apparecchio stereo, a corredo e ho ascoltato il mio primo LP della mia vita, e il primo pezzo che ho ascoltato e' stato questo 😮

[jurgenkunz]

One of the most underestimated Works of Keith. Very heavy, complex and dense. You're supposed to listen to it a couple of times. Lots of melodic minor and 7/8th. This is heavy duty. Love it. Keith musical language is unique.

[margauxkhosraviani]

This is the song I use to test the quality of sound in new headphones! Never let me down before.

[NickWebber-vppd]

Pure genius…Keith is in great company…heavenly lineup…Emerson, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, etc…

[ThatsMrPencilneckU]

I used to que up the tape in my car stereo to this. When giving someone a ride, I would hit the locks, right before the music started.

Keith he's crazy, outside of any human logic, unique in the universe ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[Psychofrog]

One of the best between so many album! RIPKeith, Greg long Life to Carl!👏👏👏❤️❤️

[scottklingaman]

this Album and black sabbath's first album change the very sound of rock music forever

[marklockey]

One of my favourite ELP pieces.
Lachesis is a beautiful piano movement heightening Keith’s skills on the ivories.
Being a fan for over 50 years I think their debut album may be their best.

[Groolcch]

All hail the late great keyboardest extraordinaire, Keith Emerson!

Prehistoric and futuristic, an ELP fan from the 70's - I never get tired of Lucky Man .

[chrisg]

A stellar performance - what a debut album that was!

[klagrohzt]

Fantastique ! Une de mes pièces préférées d'ELP.

[tommyjoekavanagh]

Superb song. Among my favourite pieces from this band.

[robst]

Superb composition, execution and recording. Emerson, Lake & Palmer's eponymous debut album, released in November 1970, was also their best album by far. Each track is immaculate and unforgettable. It made a huge impression on me as a 12-year-old schoolboy, listening to it on our biology teacher's state-of-art Bang & Olufsen high-fidelity stereo system.

[johnmeowzer]

That chord at 4:05. Gives me chills. Exquisite.

[MaartenVanBloois]

Keith is one of the most underestimated composers. This masterpiece was my first encounter with real music when it came out. I was eight years by then and I loved it from the start. Music of my life.

[jeanlucchapelon]

The best « chef d’œuvre «  that composed Keith Emerson !
🙏

[Slammo]

Spent weeks at the piano as a kid reverse engineering and learning to play the beautiful piano passage at 1:50 So lucky to have such great music to grow up with. Comforting to hear. It never gets old. Thanks for posting!

[johnmeowzer]

So glad i got to see ELP in Ft Wayne Indiana in August, 1977. Ill never forget it.
