'' is a 1977 album by progressive rock
Band Emerson, Lake & Palmer . It is a two-disc set divided into four major sections, one each highlighting each band member, and one for combined works.
The album was highly anticipated, as it had been four years since the release of ELP's most successful album, '''s Two-Part Invention in D minor, another, titled 'The enemy god dances with the black spirits', an excerpt of 2nd movement of "The Scythian Suite" by
Sergei Prokofiev . Side 2 on the second disc featured the entire band together, and consists of another classical piece re-arranged for rock band,
Aaron Copland 's
Fanfare For The Common Man , and the long-form song "Pirates".
Because the sound was so different from their past albums, reaction was mixed. Works Volume I attracted new fans to
Emerson, Lake And Palmer , but turned off many others.
