Emerson Lake & Palmer - The Return of the Manticore

Esse aqui é em homenagem ao nosso grande antropólogo Vitor. Há 10 anos ele me apresentou esta banda. Fiquei de cara. Nunca tinha ouvido algo tão progressivo. Confesso que mais progressivo que isto já não me agrada (leia-se Gentle Giant e aquelas bandas "crazys" italianas).

Pensando em quem não conhece a banda resolvi postar essa coletânea lançada em 1993. Destaque para o 2º CD, que tem todas as CLÁSSICAS!

Fritar um pouco faz bem!
