Bad covers songs "borrowed" from classical pieces [ Moderator's Note: Read the article about `Rockline' now! It appears that ELP may be on this radio music/call-in show on Monday, March 2. I rushed this edition out to give you all achance to figure which radio stations in your area may carry this syndicated program. Personally, I'm hoping that they play a few cuts off the new album. Some good ideas are starting to recur: a list of `borrowed' classical pieces that have been used in ELP songs, an elp-digest archives, etc. I'm interested in all but can't do them all. If anyone wants to volunteer for these, start discussing them either in `the digest' or amongst yourselves. Once my work situtation settles down, I'll try to find a place to a net archives of any information you can legally put on-line.

The track is "White Noise" and here's >what the liner notes say: > > This tune was originally written in halftime with a funk groove, but didn't >really come together until we doubled the speed and rearranged it with some key >suggestions from Ronnie Montrose -- one being to start the song off with the >middle guitar riff which, as a result injected more adrenaline into the whole >song. One night, Keith Emerson of ELP happened to be in a club where we were >playing and, upon hearing it, offered to play piano on it. The result is what >you hear. > >My guess is that it was probably a San Jose club, since Kevin Gilbert (who >produced it) and Bonilla (who together comprise the band Toy Matinee) are from >the area, and Emerson has been known to hang out in the area (it's where he I was there! The club was Boswells, which has a seating capacity of 70. Keith Emerson had met Marc in the studio a couple of weeks earlier and came in to see Marc play. He was playing in my then roommates band called J.C. and the Twisters. The band was comprised of David Nowlin on bass (my old roommate), Don Frank on drums (he plays on several cuts on Marc's album) and Marc on acoustic and electric guitar. After two sets, the band was joined by Kevin Gilbert for a couple of songs and then Keith Emerson came up. First they played "Fanfare for a Common Man". Marc provided the intro playing guitar synth on the opening notes with a tone that matched Emerson's regular keyboard intro. It busted up Emerson. They really started cooking on that one. Next, Keith Emerson played a rondo with a straight acoustic piano sound. Finally Marc handed Emerson the sheet music to "White Noise". Emerson took one look and said "there are too many notes here", took a deep breath and jumped right into it. The energy in the place was just incredible. He sat down and stayed around for another set, danced in the aisles to "Twist and Shout" and led the audience in the "aaah, aaah, aaah, owuuu" part. He was haveing a good time. I was sitting at a table next to his and got to talk to him a bit. He was quite congenial. You wrote: > Thanks for the info about Keith Emerson on the Marc Bonilla album.

I've had a tape of the album for about a year. It was release January 21. I don't have the catalog number handy but it is on Reprise. I got a copy at Tower records. Ronnie Montrose also plays on a cut. The album is in the Steve Morse/Joe Satriani vein. ------------------------------ Return-Path: smithj@hpsadlu.sad.hp.com From: Jim Smith To: elp@xero.cbm.dec.com Subject: CHORD CDs and other items John Arnold writes: > I `grew up' (if you can call it that) thinking that the words were `the >weaver and the weapon he made.'

This would sure be in keeping with the MUSIC of Tarkus as well, which invokes some kind of gigantic machine for me. Recently, a friend and I were looking at the lyrics to Tarkus, and discovered that the song could easily be interpreted as a metaphor for lawn maintenance! I DON'T think that that was intentional, though. :-> >Neither >package contains an address of Chord Records though I believe they are a >British company based in London, England. I have read two stories on netnews related to the CHORD pressings. One was that they were done by Emerson's previous manager, and were not authorized by Emerson. The other was that they were done by KORG as promotional items. Does anyone have any more information about CHORD? By the way, the person who saw "HONKY" for $13 saw a deal. Around here, it's $20, when available! > Title Composer Time > ----- -------- ---- >1. Bach Before the Mast George Malcolm 1:49 >2. Hello Sailor Keith Emerson 2:18 >3. Hello Sailor (conc.) Keith Emerson 4:29 Is the first part of "Hello Sailor," the slow part with electric piano and guitar, cut off on this CD? By your track numbering and times, it looks like the CD starts at the piano fugue, "Bach Before the Mast." Is this the case? >4. Salt Cay Keith Emerson 5:00 This, and "Hello Sailor" are some of the nicest things Emerson has done since "Works Vol. 1," in my opinion. Salt Cay is an upbeat, caribbean tune with a nice percussion-oriented backing. It starts off with a brassy keyboard call-and-response, moves through some organ breaks into a happy, bouncy Caribbean groove. After repeating this again, the caribbean groove is extended and a happy keyboard lead is played over it. By the way, during that lead, Keith quotes some other Caribbean tune, which is played by a band in the movie "Risky Business." Does anyone know the name or source of this tune? > `Chic Carni' sounds like an instrumental version of what became > `Nighthawking' on the Nighthawks soundtrack (perhaps hidden here on > purpose since no offical Nighthawks soundtrack has ever been > released on CD to my knowledge).

"Chic Carni" is not on the original Honky vinyl, and replaces "Rum-a-Ting" on the CD. John, do you notice any differences in the mixes of "Hello Sailor" and "Salt Cay" between the "Honky" and "Emerson Collection" CDs? I noticed that "Salt Cay" sounds different on the "Emerson Collection" than on the "Honky" vinyl. >`The Emerson Collection' > `Starship' is from the Emerson Christmas Album but I can't recall if > it's exectly the same as a track on that or a re-mix/edit. It sounds to me like Emerson took the basic tracks from "Starship" and added additional drums, keys, guitar and vocals to create "Captain Starship Christmas" on the Christmas Album. "Starship" is an instrumental. > `Playing for Keeps' features Brad Delp (of Boston and RTZ) as the > singer. Don't recall if this was from a film sound track or not. The musical themes reflect those in the "Orchestral Suite from Best Revenge." Was this movie ever released? The lyrics to "Playing For Keeps" are quite positive. It isn't clear from the CD whether or not Emerson wrote them. Does anyone know? I think we've got enough new subscribers that I should mention that there is a fanzine for ELP, which is quite good, in my opinion. Here's the info about it: Fanzine For The Common Man is a fanzine devoted to ELP and related bands (ASIA, The Nice, etc). It is published every few months by David Terralavoro 43 Spring St. Wappinger Falls, NY 12590 It costs $3 per issue in the US. Back issues are available. David has stated that he expects to publish three issues in 1992, the first in April, if I recall correctly. - Jim Smith smithj@hpsad.sad.hp.com ------------------------------ Return-Path: barrett@dino.cs.umass.edu From: barrett@dino.cs.umass.edu (Daniel Barrett) To: elp@xero.cbm.dec.com Subject: KE's open letter in Keyboard, transcriptions white@geo2s.mps.ohio-state.edu (The Master) asks: > I heard that Keith Emerson wrote an apology letter to fans >for the "Love Beach" fiasco which was published in Keyboard Magazine >sometime in 1980. I checked Keyboard's back issues and there is a >Keith Emerson article from this time, but unfortunately it is out- >of-print. Does anyone have this particular issue, and could perhaps >summarize what Keith said? I have the issue, which contains an 8-page article on Keith. The "open letter" is 1 page (3 columns of newsprint) long, so I'm not going to transcribe it. To summarize, Keith viewed the final orchestra tour as successful, while Carl and Greg thought it was "a financial and artistic disaster." Atlantic Records were th eones that persuaded ELP to make a "commercial" album. Keith said: "Since Greg had felt repressed in the area of his writing, ... [I] gave him the freedom he kept asking for on side one of LOVE BEACH. Side two, in my opinion, is more pleasing, but because Greg and Carl hated Nassau so much and just wanted to get back home, the end result was very rushed and heartless. The album title and picture were an embarrassment against everything I've worked for." The rest of the letter describes his pursuit of film scoring, and allusions to a future album (which I suspect was "Honky"). Gregory (G.R.) Utas writes about sheet music: > Hoedown (based on Copland's piece of the same name; not PD) "Hoedown" can essentially be learned from Copland's orchestra score. I pretty much followed the string and bass parts on keyboard -- it works well. > ** The Three Fates (I would *drool* to see "Lachesis") Have you tried transcribing it yourself? With a lot of patience and a good "pause" button :-), ELP pieces can be transcribed. I did this for "Karn Evil 9 1st impression" and a bunch of other ELP tunes when I was in high school. (Before you ask -- the transcriptions are no longer readable. :-( They were done in pencil over 10 years ago, and very sloppily -- just enough so I could remember what to play.) So don't just stand there drooling :-)... you might be pleasantly surprised if you try.

I have no idea why. I admit to not being the most musically "literate" person in the world, but they sound identical to me. I believe it is also on the Nighthawks soundtrack, but I dont remember what it is called there. I would check copyright dates adn release dates before deciding which came first. I have a number of Keith's soundtrack albums, most of which I have only listened to once. Thus, I can remember thinking "oh, that is from X" when I heard some of the songs on The Emerson Collection, but I can't remember what X is. So... Prelude to & Candice *are* on soundtracks. I don't remember which one. Mater Tenebrarum translates to Mother Shadow (or mother of shadows) from Latin. Definitely from Inferno. The Dreamer and Playing For Keeps are from the Best Revenge soundtrack. I dont know when the movie was released, but it hit cable about the time they were touring ELPowell - Keith made a reference to it when they played in the Boston Opera House. This was such a super excellent show that I am still psyched when I remember it - the Boston Opera House is a renovated ***SMALL*** baroque theater. When I saw the decorations, it just seemed *too* appropriate to see ELPowell in a Baroque Opera House. I think the place only holds maybe 2000 people... wthi those amazing TALL stacks of speakers. My only disappointment is that they couldnt use the fireworks for Mars... was anyone else there? /amq ------------------------------ Return-Path: mjgiles@ucdavis.edu From: mjgiles@ucdavis.edu (Mentor (Jason Giles)) Date: Thu, 20 Feb 92 16:37:41 -0800 To: elp-request@xero.cbm.dec.com Subject: thanks to all those who replied about the "Honky" CD-- I think from the concensus it's definitely worth a look-- just for the cover at least! About the bootlegs and all that jazz... I have two ELP "special imports," one on disc and on on tape. The first is a "Super Golden Radio Show" from the BBC, recorded live in Anaheim, 1975. It has about 10 tracks and is recorded fairly well, with all instruments equalized correctly. Sound is a little hollow, but decent for a bootleg disc. The other I have I bought at a swap meet for five bucks! It's a Works Volume II tour tape, about 60 minutes in length. It's got Pirates, C'Est La Vie, Hoedown, Fanfare, Watching over you, etc. The best part is when Keith Emerson is introducing Greg's solo piece, "Watching Over You" and can't seem to get the title right. It's quite funny. Anyways, if anyone would be interested in copies of these, let me know. To Chris Dixon, I'd be interested in Emerson, Lake, & Powell - 1985 (shot from audience - sound is good) Emerson on David Letterman (supporting ELPowell - plays America) in particular, if you'd like copies of mine.

Uh... keep in mind that the basic chorus melody (the instrumental part, you know... the part you're inclined to whistle along with) is directly lifted from one of the movements (can't recall which) of Prokofiev's Lt. Kije Suite, which I've heard around Christmas for some reason or another. > Return-Path: arnold@xero.cbm.dec.com > In ELP Digest v2.3, Jason Giles asked about the Keith Emerson Honky CD. > Neither > package contains an address of Chord Records though I believe they are a > British company based in London, England. It's my understanding that Emerson had some contractual problems with Chord and no longer, well, "endorses" their releases. In particular, I'm pretty sure that all of the Chord Emerson CD releases are mastered from vinyl. Listen to them very carefully... There's another Chord CD out called _The Manhattan Collection_ which has tracks by Emerson, Derek Austin (who did the "China Freefall" side of the Harmagedon soundtrack), and somebody Cameron. The tracks are grouped by performer, and Emerson's are all duplicates of other Chord releases... what I'm not sure about is a performance of Debussy's "Golliwog Cakewalk" which might the last of Emerson's tracks or the first of the next guy's. Anyone else have a clue? As for the Japanese mistranslations, the one I remember best from the Tarkus vinyl issue was "Are you ready, Eddy, to turn your skull around?" - -- Scott Lindsey ------------------------------ Return-Path: gcc!gcc.edu!stu891695@vax.cs.pitt.edu Date: Fri, 21 Feb 92 13:04:56 EST From: "A prisoner held against his will by a computer!" Subject: Apology Letter To: elp@xero.cbm.dec.com Greetings! >From: white@geo2s.mps.ohio-state.edu (The Master) > I heard that Keith Emerson wrote an apology letter to fans >for the "Love Beach" fiasco which was published in Keyboard Magazine >sometime in 1980. I believe that you are referring to "An Open Letter From Keith Emerson To the Readers of Contemporary Keyboard" from the September 1980 issue. It is an insert inside a bigger article. Emerson talks a bit about the financial problems with the orchestra, and also about his film scoring. The apology part is as follows: "After meeting with Atlantic Records we were finally persuaded to make one more album. Much to my reluctance, a commercial album was suggested, "commercial" meaning we would compress all of the simpler ideas and make them into neat little radio-playable singles. Since Greg had felt repressed in the area of his writing, I eased up on my opinions to a certain extent, bit my nails, and gave him the freedom he kept asking for on side one of Love Beach. Side two, in my opinion, is more pleasing, but because Greg and Carl hated Nassau so much and just wanted to get back home, the end result was very rushed and heartless. The album title and picture were an embarrasment against everything I've worked for." So, is everyone else hoping for a pompus, bombastic showcase of the band's tallents on the new album like I am? Wouldn't it be great if Keith and co. decided that they were sick of listening to critics and record companies and made an album for themselves and their fans? Here's to overblown 13 minute instrumentals!

Chic Charni is probably on the CD to make up for the missing Rum-a-Ting. Hey, maybe the copy they were mastering from had a scratch on that track :-( As far as I can tell, Chic Charni is identical to NightHawking, sans Paulette McWilliams cheesy vocals. In that sense, it might be considered a rarity. The same version appears on The Emerson Collection, though. I once got into a net- argument with someone about the difference between Chic Charni and Green Ice. I now realize the source of the confusion. Chic Charni was plopped down where Green Ice is supposed to go, Rum-a-Ting was deleted, and Green Ice tacked onto the end of the CD. > I don't know if `Prelude to Candice' and `Candice' are from > soundtracks or not.

It's "Mater Tenebrarum", which is Latin, but it's been too long since high school, so I can only tell you that Mater means mother. If you listen to the vocals, you can here "Tenebrarum" fairly clearly. The Candices are from Murderock. Playing for Keeps is from Best Revenge. The Dreamer is mis-titled from Best Revenge, where it was originally called Dream Runner. > `Starship' is from the Emerson Christmas Album but I can't recall if > it's exectly the same as a track on that or a re-mix/edit. I think it's the other way around... The Emerson Collection is (c) & (p) 1986, whereas the Christmas Album is (p) 1988. It's definitely a different mix, being 4:04, compared to 3:40. It's missing the boy's narration, all the silly sound effects, and the West Park School Choir, making it, in my opinion, a much more listenable mix, much less of a novelty item.
