Along with the early Pink Floyd, Moody Blues,Soft Machine,Traffic,Yes the band that boasted Keith Emerson on keyboards later of ELP, The Nice created an amalgam of sound capturing primarily classical textured, very experimental manic rock into a very fresh exciting bunch of recordings spanning the gamut from psychedelic singles to long magnum opus's. This fine sounding 2 CD bargain priced German import collects the entire album, thoughts Of Emerelist, and standouts from their other albums.. Keith Emerson is unmistakable and it is interesting to note the eccentricities that The Nice were so unlike Emerson, Lake and Palmer.. The critics notes within are OK, no additional photos or booklet,but the sound is crisp and for 10 dollars this 2 CD anthology is a bargain packed with over two hours of what later became Prog Rock with The Nice being much more than the urbane laid back.
