Hmm, when I hear "Tarkus" and "Karn Evil 9" I think Prog.
 PS> ELP could never extend their music, beyond rock'n'roll, and their

That could be the case, I can't really comment having never seen one of
their shows.  I did see a clip of Emerson on some sort of rotating
piano.  Very 70s.  But, then, I've seen pictures of Gabriel being
suspended on a wire over the stage at Genesis concerts.  That's not much
better.
 PS> But they did have some nice songs.... I just wasn't into buying
 PS> one song albums ( after the first, which I do like )
I too like their first one, actually, but I never have a craving to
listen to it, like I do with other bands.

The message from Lorne Murphy rises higher:
 -=> From what I recall, Clark Ray said this to Lorne Murphy <=-
 CR> I've got that album.  It's not too bad and there are a couple of
 CR> pieces that upon further listening I've liked much more than I used to
 CR> (the opening piece, "gaillarde," for example).  It's similar to Focus
 CR> since the bands shared drummers (the fantastic Pierre Van Der Linden)
 CR> and both have a similar use of organ.  Focus, however, had more depth,
 CR> I'd say.  What I mean is Focus' had a wide range of styles on each
 CR> album, whereas this Trace album is just one style really.  Still, it's
 CR> good. Largely classically influenced and there is a wide array of
 CR> keyboard instruments used.  They're more keyboard oriented than Focus,
 CR> I'd say.
 LM> I'll definitely look any of theirs up, if I can find them. Anyone
 LM> with Focus similarities is probably good. And with more keyboards?
 LM> Great! :)   A question, though: Wasn't Ian Mosley the drummer for
 LM> Trace?
Not that I know of and he's certainly not on the album I have.  Maybe he
was in a newer band with the same name?
