Hmm, when I hear "Tarkus" and "Karn Evil 9" I think Prog.

That could be the case, I can't really comment having never seen one of
their shows.  I did see a clip of Emerson on some sort of rotating
piano.  Very 70s.  But, then, I've seen pictures of Gabriel being
suspended on a wire over the stage at Genesis concerts.  That's not much
better.
 PS> But they did have some nice songs.... I just wasn't into buying

I too like their first one, actually, but I never have a craving to
listen to it, like I do with other bands.
