Re: ELP : Emerson, Lake, & Palmer
^ All I can say gents is that the ELPowell project was one of the more progressive projects in the `80`s, and probably given short shrift due to the fact the band looked as if they were cashing in on the 'ELP' name. But the music created certainly didn`t smack of cashing in.
The first three songs, 'The Score, Learning To Fly', and 'The Miracle are nothing short of stunning. Then there was the single released, 'Touch and Go', which there is a video for.
Lake was still in his prime as a vocalist, still possessing that golden tenor while playing a dependable bass. Emerson had updated his keyboard style rather nicely for the 80`s, and Powell`s heavy handed hitting style suited the music well.
Grand finale track; Eerson`s adaptation of Holst`s 'Mars; The Bringer of War'. Listen to this with the lights off and loud!!!
