Elegy
Released
1971
Released as The Nice scattered to the winds, this 1971 compilation captured Keith Emerson's pre-ELP pyrotechnics in their finest classical-rock bastardisations. Mercury Records knew what they had: a catalogue of baroque ambition and Hammond organ assault that suddenly looked prescient once Emerson's new supergroup conquered stadiums.
The tracks span the group's brief, combustible career, showcasing how three musicians could transform Tchaikovsky and Sibelius into something genuinely threatening. It's prog rock's Rosetta Stone, proving virtuosity needn't mean politeness.
