Reader Reviews
I had heard this album after their classic works. What a pity! You should start your acquaintance with ELP from this album. Here they do it better. Smash drum beats by Palmer, dynamic keyboards playing by Emerson, emotional singing by Lake. Of course, old fan needs 30 minutes long opuses... Do you need them? As for me, no. I need good music. And you would get it. The first 5 songs - real classics by ELP. Rock songs (Black Moon, Paper Blood), ballad "Affairs of the Heart" (remindes "Still... You Turn Me On"; co-written with Downes of Asia), great (really great!) epic insrumental by Emerson-Palmer "Romeo and Juliet" (based on the theme from Prokofiev`s ballet; scene "Montecci and Capuletti"; probably the best instrumental by Emerson), another ballad "Farwell to Arms" with epic Moog solo in style of "Lucky Man". Well, album got little pop music touch, but you could beleive, if Emerson, Lake and Palmer play for you pop songs - it is a high quality professional work. Music full of energy and optimism. What a pity, where were no continuation. The most interesting part of the next album (1994) - "In the Hot Seat" are the new version of Mussorgsky`s "Pictures..." and the cover of Dylan`s "Man in the Long Black Coat". And the mood of the album is quite dark. Still... We are waiting for the new studio CD by ELP.
