While The Sheriff is something of a throw-away, all the other tracks are extremely creative. Emersons compositional and keyboard work on Endless Enigma, Fugue, and Trilogy are among his best. And Living Sin is among the best (often forgotten) gems of prog-rock to be found anywhere. The only Bolero I find useful in prog is the King Crimson on the Fabulous album LIZARD. This is definitely not essential album and the first sign of weakness in a dreadful later discography. By this album their formula was wearing thin and inspiration not as intense as before. Unlike all other ELP albums, every track on Trilogy reaches their highest standard. The endless enigma opens the album in three parts (beware of the ELP compilation entitled Fanfare for the common man) which inexplicably fades the track before the third section). This is a superbly crafted trilogy which opens with soft, almost imperceptible synthesiser introducing frantic piano, before Lakes crystal clear vocals pick out the main melody. After the piano based Fugue, a fanfare synth introduces the final section, which builds to a mighty crescendo. The fact that The endless enigma was rarely performed live is probably the only reason why it has not gained the recognition it warrants as one of ELPs finest pieces. From the beginning is a beautiful acoustic track featuring Greg Lake on vocals and guitar. While it has a simplistic structure, it is a finely crafted piece. Side one of the LP closes with a couple of lighter tracks, both with a western flavour. If you listen closely to Carl Palmers solo at the beginning of The sheriff, you can hear where he makes a mistake, mutters Sht, and starts again. If the title track was released today, it would probably be labelled Trance. It is a lengthy largely instrumental track, heavy on the synthesisers. After a soft start, the piece explodes into a driving wall of sound, ducking and diving through various time changes in the best prog traditions.
