Trilogy Music CD

Emerson, Lake & Palmer Expand Their Fusion of Rock, Classical, and Jazz Themes on Trilogy: Includes the Hit Ballad 'From the Beginning' and Interpretation of Copland's 'Hoedown'Mastered at Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab's Studio: Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD of 1972 Album Plays with Spectacular Dynamics, Presence, and ClarityThere's a reason Greg Lake deemed Trilogy 'such an accurate record' when looking back at it decades later. Emerson, Lake & Palmer's third studio album teems with exacting arrangements, copious overdubs, and multi-hued colors that showcase the band's willingness to experiment and desire to put everything in it's proper place without becoming too self-serious. Expanding by distilling the ferocious power of it's debut and epic leanings of the preceding Tarkus into a more accessible whole, Trilogy stands as the most representative example of the ensemble's trademark styles.Mastered at MoFi's California studio and housed in a mini-LP type gatefold sleeve, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition hybrid SACD of Trilogy presents the gold-certified effort in audiophile sound. Clear, direct, dynamic, and balanced, it brings to fore the virtuosic musicianship. Prized characteristics - textures, tones, nuances, open spaces - that go hand-in-hand with the trio's songs and interplay are conveyed amid broad soundstages. Newly unveiled degrees of separation, imaging, and timing help make the compositions come across with involving presence. In sum, it's a remarkable representation of what Keith Emerson summarized in a period interview as 'progressive rock with a lot of regard for the past.'Numbered Hybrid Stereo SACDNUMBERED SPECIAL EDITIONTrack List1.
