This 3-piece in my mind blew ELP out of its own native waters! Rick Van Der Linden is a criminally underrated keyboard maestro with more than a few good ideas. And besides who else do you know that could artfully combine Bix Biederbecke and JS Bach? The “Birds Suite” is a treat (and bonus points for including the Owl at the 3:39 mark, they’re my favorite birds!)!Review by The Owl, progarchives.com
