Which is exactly what I thought, it's like the sounds used on 'Toccata'.

There's Emerson on synths appears after a flute passage, and he plays some piano in the final reprise - he is so recognizable, you can't miss him even through a load of persussion.

See, Works can be worse than ITHS, and Black Moon equal to debut and Tarkus..opinions differ so much in ELP case.
Yes or Genesis appraisals fits in a smoother range)
