Then and now is available in Germany now in record stores like Media Market. I just bought it. Best wishes Peter peter.hoscheidt@vew.de [ and Peter followed up a few days later with these additional comments... ] Then and Now is really brilliant. Both CD`s are. I saw the guys last year in Dortmund, when they had some technical problems. They played great there, nevertheless. And that`s what Then and Now is. Really great stuff. But now I`m looking forward to some really exciting new material. What`s about "Crossing the Rubycon ?"

Randy well rwells@kendra.com ------------------------------ From: "LEFDAL ELEKTROMARKED AS" , on 10/14/98 1:52 AM: To: Subject: GL: "From the beginning/The Greg Lake Retrospective" Hi John & all ye of great ELP faith out there! Some time ago I came across an article concerning a newspaper evaluation of the above mentioned State Of The Art piece of CD by Greg Lake. The article is put on paper by one of Norways leading journalists in this field (at least that's what we're led to believe...), YAN FRIIS. He's been around since God knows when, and is famous for his equilibrism when writing his rescensions, rather than actually evaluating the records as such! Nevertheless, his feelings towards ELP has in the past been far from "benine", with characteristics like: "Emerson, Lake & Palmer is an immense waste of electricity()", "Responsible for blowing up more fuseboxes in the arena aerias than any other rockband", etc. Based on this, You can imagine my reaction to the below statement by Yan Friis, and I translate and quote: "Few rockstars have had to take more lashings by the critics than Greg Lake. But he will take the best, last and loudest laugh in the end. RHINOs new double CD compilation proves that the man with the "basoon angel voice" is, and has always been damn good, regardless of time, musicians or musicstyle. When the gunsmoke has drifted away and the critics are tired and wornout, Greg Lake will still be standing tall! Nothing can touch his position as one of rock'n'rolls most wonderful singers. His choirboy voice has vitalized an incredible range of versatile music up through the years. And it moves ever so strong, even today on his latest recordings. Lake's sound has always been something in between that of a basoon angel and a crystal clear mountain river. When it rises, it rises like up under the arches and domes of a cathedral. One can't do anything but feel awe when the man opens his mouth to sing. Regardless the bombastic musical surroundings he chooses, his sincerity is so authentic it shines. Yes, even in the last decade or so, when he often "strayed" into "wall to wall" adultrock, he elevated his fellow musicians above the level of mediocracy with his voice, and the words it sang. Indeed, GL is infact an extraordinary fine lyricist too. He rarely get any credit for that, well now it's done! Add to it that the man is a world class bassplayer, and on top of it all, not the worst guitarplayer and we're approaching an image of a genuine profile in this circus. No wonder Rhino chooses to release not only one but a double CD true to the man's career. That the first part of the "journey" really convinces isn't exactly surprising. Lakes voice combined with Robert Fripp's insane balancing between avantgarde and fully matured artrock, gave extreme payback for King Crimson. Unfortunately enough, the original recording of "21st Century Schizoid man" (the most inflamed and disturbed metalrocker in history) isn't included on this album, but a later solo-recording from 1981 is. Lake's work in the supertrio ELP varied between advanced musicality and beatiful pop ballads. Both parts as nescessary for the groups existance as Keith Emerson's keyboard equillibrism. Lake also contributed with some absolutely lovely solo-recordings towards the end of the seventies, speared by the Christmas single "I believe in...", and "C'est la vie" But; we know all this. CD2 is focused on the difficult second half of his career. And it is, as a matter of fact, this part that gives me most pleasure: Who remembers tha GL released a damn fine solo album in 1980 with, among others, Gary Moore as permanent lead guitarist? Who remembers that Bob Dylan sent him an unfinished song, and gave Greg Lake carte blanche to do what he wanted with it? ("Love you too much"). Who discovered that the heavily critizised Emerson, Lake & Powell actually created something of great value on their album in 1986? And finally that the reunited Emerson, Lake & Palmer wasn't a pathetic attempt to recreate the past, but that they indeed made an honest and pretty good contribution to the nineties? This part of Lake's history can really catch the best one off guard. But it is actually true, the way CD2 spits out highlights, makes Greg Lake stands tall also in modern times. That's probably what is most enjoyable with this fine RHINO collection. Out of the 32 songs,there are 2 previously unreleased takes from the eighties. The coversleeve contains a thorough essay that includes comments and statements from Lake himself. There's also lots of information around the different tracks. A good two and a half hour in company with Greg Lake the bassoon angel, is definitely something I can live with" End quote. Translated to the best of my ability as it is, please forgive any "strange english" in terms of expressions and words. Hope you all enjoyed it! ELP shines!

Hello ELP aficionados! I've just joined this marvellous big happy family after following K, G and C around since the seventies, and I wonder if any of you can help me with a question that's been bugging me for some time. I fancied having a go at K's organ solo in the middle of Knife Edge (incidentally, I really like the slower and zingier version of it on the new Then & Now CD) and got hold of the score for Janacek's Sinfonietta to see if I could find it. But I can't - only the main bass line and the fudged chords melody seem to be from Janacek, so what is this other quote? Is it something to do with the Fraser who is also credited on this number. Can anyone help point me in the right direction? On another matter: I am in complete agreement about the 'Rock Family Trees' programme. It wasn't a pleasant experience to have to sit through (what seemed like) hours of Jon Anderson burbling on about inconsequentialities just to get a few minutes of Keith and Carl talking sense. I was so annoyed I emailed John Peel and told him. Guess what? No Reply! Finally, I'm probably stating the obvious here, but I notice that Keyboard Magazine (they have a website: keyboardmag.com I think) have loads of articles and features on Emo going way back - you can order back numbers. Regards, Gary King ------------------------------ From: Bryan Roberts , on 10/5/98 3:57 PM: To: elp-digest-web@reluctant.com Subject: ELP on BBC2 Rock Family Trees This program was broadcast last Friday at 11.15pm - way past my bedtime these days (just kidding!). The programme was narrated by BBC 1's erstwhile presenter John Peel. It traced the history and origins of ELP and YES. Starting with The NICE and some early footage of Kieth and his Daggers attacking the Hammond. Apparently Keith was banned from the Royal Albert Hall after burning an imitation Stars & Stripes - I guess the ban has since been lifted! Without going into all the chronology, it was a great programme, full of nostalgia and insight into the way the bands thought (and fought!) in those days. Keith and Carl were interviewed, but no sign of Greg in the programme. My main impression? - and I say this having been an ELP and a YES fan since their inception, when musical clips were played from both bands I was stunned by how good/timeless the ELP music sounded compared to the YES music - I mean from a melodic perspective. ELP just sounded so musical as compared to the sometimes tiresome warblings of Jon Anderson - also the words of the YES songs were in those days, and by Jon Anderson's own admission, pretty meaningless!! As a footnote, it was sad to see Cozy Powell also interviewed - he mentioned that the USA tour following the ELPO album got progressively worse as the tour moved west. He cited tensions (ego battles) between Greg and Keith as the main reason. Hopefully those days are long gone - the guys certainly seem more laid back these days! Regards to all fans - Bryan Roberts, London, UK ------------------------------ From: WilsonAWM@aol.com, on 10/5/98 2:39 PM: To: elp-digest@reluctant.com Subject: Rock Family Trees ROCK FAMILY TREES - The Progressive Years This was broadcast by the BBC on 2nd October 1998. Exactly 6 years to the day since I had seen ELP last at the Royal Albert Hall. (Spooky?) This was a 50 minute program billed as covering the both Yes and ELP plus their various off shoot bands. As ELP were to remain remarkably stable during their career, (there were only ever 5 members - ELP plus Powell and Berry) most of the transmission was devoted to Yes who struggled to keep the same lineup from year to year and hence managed to form more offshoot bands than did ELP!! Nevertheless, 15 minutes or So.'s worth of footage is better than none as they say. the following is a brief synopsis of the ELP portion of the program. Short clip of "Karn Evil 9" early 70's with Keith wearing his Tarkus jacket and Greg playing his double neck bass & electric guitar. Interview with Lee Jackson about the break up of the Nice. Interview with PP Arnold about her backing band - the Nice! [ Editor's Note: no relation! - John - ] Interview with Keith about the origins of throwing the Hammond. Short clip of the Nice playing "War and Peace" Interview with Carl about Arthur Brown Interview with Lee Jackson about the burning of the US flag at the Albert Hall. Interview with Keith about the breakup of the Nice and of the formation of ELP Short clip of ELP in a rehearsal room playing the first section of "Tank" Short clip of "Karn Evil 9" as before. Short clip of the 3 trucks scene from the early 70's BBC documentary (also on the "Welcome Back" video) Interviews with both Carl and Keith talking about the breakup Interview with Cozy Powell talking about the ELPowell tour. There were no interviews of Greg who hardly got a mention during this transmission. King Crimson was not discussed (except for Bill Bruford's interview during the Yes section). Hopefully, you non-Brits will catch this on your Public Service channels at some time. Andy Wilson London AWM.WILSON@Virgin.Net ------------------------------ From: "Jane Armstrong" , on 10/3/98 12:16 AM: To: "ELP" Subject: Rock Family Trees I've just had a wonderful time wallowing in nostalgia! Rock Family Trees traced the Prog Rock movement from the origins of ELP and Yes to the present day, following all the ins and outs of the various members. It was great!!!! There was so much old footage which I'd never seen before, interviews with various band members on their memories of the times, and layouts of old Melody Makers and LP covers. And the sad thing was I still have some of those old newspapers and actually have all but one of the LPs (an Earthworks one) I rarely play vinyl as the record player is on it's last legs, but this made me want to dig out all those old 12 inchers and admire the wonderful artwork and inserts. I just don't feel the same way about CD's. I used to rush home and study every inch of my LP cover, read all the lyrics, look at the booklets some of them had inside, read all the credits. I was almost as excited about the cover as I was about the music. A CD doesn't have the same appeal. And besides, these old eyes can't cope with the minuscule writing on a CD cover! It made me remember how much I loved ELP and Yes in the 70's and how they have influenced my life, and how much I STILL love the music. And there was a wonderful shot of Keith with his parrot at the end!

Dear fellow ELP Digesters (burrpp !!). This is my first time digesting (rumble, gurgle, burp) so please be gentle! Congratulations to John and all those who have helped build the digest site into a truly informative ELP site. First a little about myself. I'm 40, married and have a 6 1/2 yr. old son whose favorite song is Tarkus (a la Welcome back..., ah, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree). Back in the early 80's I was the sound engineer, light technician and sole road crew for a keyboard/drum duo called BUSKER. The band played plenty of ELP as well as original material in the bar / small arena venues of Southwestern Ontario and on a few coastal tours, which, if not for the photo evidence I have in my portfolio, I would not remember at all. After spending six years on the road I left the music industry and took up residency in the automotive parts manufacturing game in an engineering position. And here I rest today. (financial gain, spiritual loss). I've had the good fortune of meeting Carl Palmer twice. First, during the original ASIA tour and then a few years later at a drum clinic in Toronto. An excellent lad to be sure. Meeting the other 2/3rds is my unfulfilled dream. No, to mix an ELP concert is really my unfulfilled dream. But the other comes close. With regards to the digest content, any discussion on ELP is usually a good discussion, but for my money (actually it's free isn't it?) I would like to see more techno-talk. ie; GX-1 vs Yamaha midi, real Hammond c/w leslie vs digital/sampled organ. Does ELP drive the technology or visa versa. Has the use of technology taken a front seat to the spontaneity of live jams. Do the boys (management?) really listen to their fans. The best suggestion I have heard to date is to drop the same-old-same-old solos (Lucky Man, Dance Creole, Drums-r-us solo etc.). Instead, do a call and answer or one upmanship type solo duel. This, to me, is what the epitome of ELP live is all about. I was sad to hear of K.E.'s marital woes, etc. (if rumours are to be believed) but am very happy to see his persistence in producing quality music. 'Atta boy Keith. Now, for those who care about such things, I'll throw my two coppers into the hat on the subject of the 'Wish set'. If you want an ELP unplugged concert may I suggest the following tracks be compiled for a 55min acoustic set. SONG DISC -Watching over you - King Biscuit Hour -Closer to Believing - Works Live -Cest La Vie - W.L. -Still.. You turn me on - Welcome Back… -Lucky Man - W.B. -Show me the way… - W.L. -Piano Concerto pt. 1 - K.B.H (track 4) -Piano Concerto pt 3 - W.L. -The Sage - Pictures at an Ex. -Piano improvisations - W.B. Perform and record a live version of the following: -The Barbarian -Tank - as a three piece with a short drum solo -Bitches Crystal -Time and a Place -Endless Enigma pt1 -Fugue -Endless Enigma pt2 -Canario Never (and I mean never) record a live version of the following again: -Lucky Man -Cest La Vie -Still... You turn me on -Hoedown -Tarkus -Pictures at an Ex. -Knife Edge -Pirates -Creole Dance As for the Hammond Humping, this was never a wrestling match as has been suggested. It was always completely sexual with S&M overtones. So please, let's call it what it is. Now let it ride. It's as much a trademark of the band as Carl's cow bell or Greg's carpet. I agree it should be downscaled and not made the obligatory encore, but a show opener in a 10 min America/Rondo (sans drum solo) would be perfect. Foremost guys, keep making music in any combination, permutation or incantation you want. Just don't stop. Screw the critics (I'm really not one you know). Remember, "Those who can't do, teach. Those who can't teach critique." Critics are the bottom of the food chain and should only be treated as such. Screw the naysayers (What's that you say? ELP are just a bunch of dinosaurs). Remember, dinosaurs were the most powerful and enduring creature to grace this planet. Yeah, I know they're extinct now. But their legend will endure forever. Thank you for the patience in sitting through these rambling. And now, if you'll excuse me, I'll step down off my soap box and back into my rubber room of reality. To all you 'Prog Hogs' who never get enough of a good thing, speak loud and speak proud, but speak out. JD. ------------------------------ From: Prott Bernd , on 9/28/98 3:05 PM: To: "'elp-digest@reluctant.com'" Subject: Emo's MOOG, 3, and feelings out of the stomach of an old time ELPfan Just thought to add a little bit to the info on Emo's modular MOOG. As stated the modular MOOG is basically a monophonic instrument as such, but Keith wouldn't be Keith if he would accept this limitation. His technicians changed the MOOG so that it was actually a kind of 4 voice synth. These changes must have been performed sometime between the 'Tarkus' tour of 72 and the 'Get me a Ladder' tour of 73. I can recall that Keith once explained this modification in an interview in those days. I'm not sure if these modifications resulted in a true 4 voice polyhonic keyboard (must have been a hell of soldering job) but it enhanced Keith's performance possibilities a lot. Maybe Bill Haugh (Keith's technician from the early ELP days) could give the answer. Different subject. In the prog rock supplement of CD Services in the UK I found Robert Berry's solo CD 'Pilgrimage to a Point'. Beside those pieces performed by Robert Berry and Steve Howe which include some great guitar work of both of them, the pieces which include Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer are absolutely noteworthy. OK, the context of 3 was much more commercial than anything else that especially Keith was involved in, so don't expect any Tarkus, Trilogy or BSS type of pieces, but I think the respective pieces have more power than the pieces on the '3 to the Power of 3' album which IMHO also isn't a bad album. The booklet included gives some insights into the context and objectives behind 3. As it seemed, Robert was the driving factor to find the unique 3 sound but finally Keith lost interest as the Geffen management didn't support them. The objective both Robert and Carl seemed to have was to fill the gap that the original ASIA had left behind. Personnally I enjoyed listening to Robert's album as it has a certain YES / ASIA style with some great Emerson sounds and chops. The album might be hard to find but I think it is not just for the completers. This brings me to my final point, the guesstimations about the style of an upcoming new ELP album. I doubt that the title 'Crossing the Rubicon' automatically leads to an historic event as a basis for a piece. For me, this would not be ELP style, their conceptual pieces were more of the fantasy(Tarkus) or sience fiction (Karn Evil 9) style. I have the feeling that ELP want to express that they will have to face a similar situation like Caesar. Maybe they know that they have to make a very cruical decision and once they have made the first step into whatever stylistic direction with this new album, there will be no chance of turning arround again. If they simply rely on the old formula of epic progressive rock pieces from the good old days, the critics will hack them to pieces in public, the record company will cut the support and even we diehard fans will not have the same feelings like listening to TARKUS for the first time. Do we really want to have a deja vu or Tarkus revisited feeling? If they do something like Black Moon (I would not lump it together with ITHS) mostlikely everybody will be somewhere between not overwhelmed and not totally disappointed. I feel I don't have to discuss a truely commercial option. So what shall our 'heros' do? Many people stated that the most obvious thing to do is, bring back Greg as the producer. Might be a good idea, the first 5 albums were nothing but great, but just due to Greg's effort as the producer? No that would be to simple. IMHO the secret of the ELP music of TARKUS, TRILOGY or BSS was that the three guys put their a..es into the studio, set up the instruments and jammed the hell out of them, and gave a sh.. about anything else arround them. The bad times were those when they met in the studio to discuss forever and didn't record a note. Whatever they will do, if they just mail in their contributions to an album and then let a producer (no matter if internal or external person) crank it again and again through the mills of todays production tools, the outcome will be artificial and sterile, and mostlikely disappointing. Watch Carl and Keith on stage, what do you see and hear - naturalborne improvisators. What do they need? Someone to watch out that they don't get carried away- how about Greg Lake. No kidding, these 3 guys have a suberb musical chemistry as soon as they hit the stage. Maybe that is the only thing they have to do for the next album, record it in a live mood, let the ideas flow. If they want to repeat something from the early days it should be like good old Eddie (are you ready) Offord said: They usually showed up in the studio and said 'Eddie just switch on the tape, let's see what happens'. Here it is, creativity can't be forged like iron it has to be handled with care and each repetition is deadly. I believe, if ELP do come back to such a session type recording process 'out of the stomach' as we say in Germany, the outcome will be great, whatever style it will be. We, the fans of the 70ies progressive rock music had one big thing in common, we liked it to listen to all kind of music styles as each band had a unique sound (e.g. Hendrix, Tull, Pink Floyd, YES, Genesis, ELP).They had almost nothing in common but I liked them all in those days. I still like to listen to milestone albums from these early days like YES's YESSONGS and Topograhic Oceans or ELP's WBMFTTSTNE, Trilogy or BSS but for me they shall not try to simply repeat history. ELP's music needs to be challenging to the listener as it was in the early days, this is the only thing they should repeat. That's my view on Crossing the Rubicon. have fun and let the 'show' be with us Bernd ------------------------------ From: "J. W.
