2008-09-16 14:15:17 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Emerson, Lake & Palmer [ELP] begins the same way a lot of my tales with classic albums do. In my younger days my father had bought me a magazine seeing that it featured articles on Pink Floyd and Rush (two of my favorite bands, then and now), but it also featured a lot more, since that particular issue was a special edition, The Story Of...

...Emerson, Lake & Palmer, 1992 StarStarStarStar I really like this much-maligned (here, at least) album, though it's probably not for everyone. Greg Lake's voice has certainly faded since its glory days, but is still passable, and has a certain verve and aggression that suits numbers like Black Moon and Paper Blood. Palmer does have a rather...

...Emerson to compose a soundtrack for a movie and 'suggested' that he get Lake and Palmer on board. The fact that no-one involved can even name the film in question begs some questions. There are many others who view this version of events as apocryphal and would consider more plausible, Emerson's urgent need of huge amounts of cash after a...

...Emerson - Keith's baby grand gets expelled from Rock School Piano Concerto # 1' - It took me a long, long time and countless plays to get a handle on any of this, but if you stick with it and persevere you will be rewarded by what is undoubtedly one of the most substantial compositions by a rock musician to date. What strikes the listener...

...EMERSON:(looking round at his bandmates) Ok, what show should we use LEE JACKSON:Well, ya know bonny lads, it takes a few performances for everyone to get the numbers 'played in' ya know, so one of the later gigs right, when we was loosened up proper an' all BRIAN DAVISON: Fab and groovy !

2008-05-06 10:55:19 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Emerson, Lake and Palmer The Endless Enigma' - Of all the large scale pieces produced by ELP, this Dali inspired triumvirate is perhaps the least satisfying. The bass drum as 'heartbeat' metaphor steals a march on Floyd and there are some eerie Moog atmospheres shattered violently with 'hamster steeplechase over the piano keys' glissandos so...

...Emerson Comics Although I could be wrong (it wouldn't the first time) I think this CD is only available from the official Keith Emerson website as I have to date, never seen a copy in any retail stores If the sleeve notes are to be believed, this project was forged at a meeting in 1994 between Marvel Comics illustrator supremo Stan Lee and...

EMERSON LAKE AND PALMER - Emerson, Lake and Palmer (1970)

The Article has images
2008-05-02 13:40:19 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Emerson's musical designs dwarf what is at best, a pleasant enough but rather insubstantial Lake ballad which completely outstays it's welcome. The piano playing is as ever, masterful, but given the paucity of melodic material available here with which to improvise on, Emerson runs out of ideas well before half way. The rudimentary guitar...

...Emerson, Lake and Palmer really only had two options: they could lie low for a while (or as low as a dinosaur could be expected to lie) until the eternally cyclic tides of fashion had turned once more back in their favor or: take on the new wave at its own game and under its rules As commendable as their decision to opt for the latter was,...
