ELP - Tarkus (1971)
Tarkus refers to the 'futility' of war, a man made mess with symbols of mutated destruction. The song 'Tarkus' itself follows the adventures of Tarkus from his birth, through a fight with a manticore, which he loses and concludes with an aquatic version of Tarkus named 'Aquatarkus'. Developing al these ideas behind the song (with Keith and Gregg) William painted this story, with all the other creatures, on the inside of the album.
