Not at all. Friggin' masterpiece deluxe, and without doubt the one to go the best with Giger's artwork. This is so completely beyond ELP (or any other "big six") that I'm glad to have discovered it later than those, allowing for me to be youthfully impressed by the "usual suspects" before having things set straight. VdGG-meets-Egg-through-GGiant-with-Magma. Phenomenal! I suppose much was due to Peter Scherer, their ace keysman/soon-to-be contemporary composer - and they had no guitarist or bass player.

Definitely true, that. And prolly because the album remains an obscurity, also musically speaking - too angular and outright experimental for the majority of the casual "symph" crowd, although that's where it essentially belongs. I personally think Pictures was one of the last truly progressive "symphonic" rock records made. It would most likely have gone into complete oblivion had it not been for the sacred hand of Ken Golden back in '94.

I certainly would never have heard it if not for Laser's Edge. It's in my top 5 albums of all time...
