| | Emerson, Lake, And Palmer Black Moon CD - Import Emerson, Lake, And Palmer Discography of CDs
 (3 Customer Reviews)
Returning to the studio after a 14-year layoff, Emerson, Lake & Palmer stripped down their sound and amped up their attack for 1992's BLACK MOON. Its closest sonic cousin is the mid-'80s album Emerson and Lake recorded with drummer Cozy Powell. Sharp digital electronics replace Keith Emerson's classic analog synthesizer sounds, and the fanciful, classical-influenced prog-rock epics of yore are streamlined into a more accessible mainstream rock format, though some traces of the trio's vintage flash still pop up.
UK reissue of 1992 album with four added bonus tracks, 'Black Moon' (single edit), 'Affairs Of The Heart' (Edit), 'Paper Blood' (edit) & 'Romeo And Juliet' (edit). 2001.
Emerson, Lake & Palmer: Keith Emerson (keyboards); Greg Lake (vocals, guitar, bass); Carl Palmer (drums, percussion).Spin (10/92, p.109) - Highly Recommended - "...easily one of the finest discs of the year....makes Pearl Jam seem like long-haired New Kids in comparison..."

Black Moon Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  Individually a master - collectively a masterpiece
This is a powerful body of work from the true masters of prog rock.Listen closely to the structure and power of the music. The ballads are exquisite in their presentation and the content of their lyrics.Black Moon heralds a welcome return to form from what is arguably,the greatest of all bands.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Black Moon in a Slick Cocoon
A typical "three style" cd from the masters of the genre.
Some stirring classic from Emerson, a bit of romantic ideology from Lake and a driving rock track backed by the irrepressible Palmer, filled out with a melange of everything that ELP do best with all the other tracks.
It never fails to have me singing along or humming the tune.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No My favorite ELP album
"Black Moon" is my favorite ELP CD. The reason is that these wonderful ten songs don't drag on too long. It really was the CD that I was waiting for when in came out in 1992. I did buy it the very day it came out, and it is a must for any fan of ELP.

A rather courageous offshoot/reunion effort, considering the period in which it was done. There's more energy and purpose here than there was on any post-Works ELP album, and that makes it worthwhile for interested fans, though it wasn't going to make any new converts, either. One oddity is that Emerson, Lake & Powell cover Mars, The Bringer of War from Holst's The Planets, a piece that King Crimson first introduced as a rock adaptation when Lake was a member on tour back in 1969. [This CD version features two bonus tracks, Goffin & King's "The Loco-Motion" along with "Vacant Possession," the latter track ...
| | Emerson, Lake, And Palmer Love Beach CD (1978) (Import) United Kingdom
Black Moon album
$11.99 
Don't be fooled by the Bee Gees-esque cover photo, LOVE BEACH is not really ELP-gone-pop. True, many of the songs are more concise and accessible than those on previous albums, and there are a couple of Greg Lake-dominated "romantic" tunes, but those had always been part of the deal. They're still at their classical-rockin' best on "Canario," and half the album is dominated by the 20-minute epic "Memoirs of an Officer & a Gentleman," which stands up well alongside such long-form ELP classics as "Trilogy."
A record that ELP released only because they owed it to their original label, and that's all one needs to know. [This edition of Love Beach includes three bonus tracks taken from rehearsals in 1978.] ~ Bruce Eder
UK remastered reissue of the progressive rock supergroup's 1978 album. 10 tracks including 3 bonus rehearsal tracks from 1978, 'Canario', 'Taste Of My Love' ...
| | Boston Don't Look Back CD (1978) Reissue; Remastered; Digipak
Black Moon CD music
$6.75 (MP3 Available for Download)
Boston's many fans were upset that it took the band two years to follow up its monster debut. When it arrived, the sophomore effort DON'T LOOK BACK was a virtual rewrite of BOSTON. This didn't stop the masses from snapping up the album, which ultimately racked up sales in the multi-platinum range.
Boston sounds inspired on the anthemic title track. Other standout tracks include "It's Easy" and "Man I'll Never Be." The hard-rocking "Don't Be Afraid" closes the album. And two years ...
| | Emerson, Lake, And Palmer In The Hot Seat CD (1994) +1 Bonus Track
Black Moon MP3 Album
$11.65
Emerson, Lake & Palmer's In the Hot Seat is an album, not unlike their 1978 album Love Beach, which was made for the wrong reasons, at a bad time, and probably shouldn't have been made at all. Speculation is that ELP was contractually obligated to record the third of a three-album deal at a time when Carl Palmer had required minor surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome and Keith Emerson had required major surgery for performance-induced damage to his right arm. Clearly, the band's head was not in the game and it shows. To call this a horrible album would be a bit unfair, many could only dream of playing like ELP on their bad days, but it does suffer from a lack of direction, heart, and perhaps most noticeably, a lack of production. Most of ELP's great albums were produced by Greg Lake but, for whatever reasons, this one was not. Producer Keith Olsen does not seem to have a feel for the ELP sound and the album lacks that big ELP sound. A track such as "Hand of Truth" might have worked with bigger production but it is halted by its own smallness. There are brief glimpses of the band's brilliance, and the track "Daddy," recorded about the disappearance of a young girl in upstate New York, will rip the heart out of any parent, but this album falls short on so many ...

Something of a promotional sampler, FAITHFULL: A COLLECTION OF HER BEST RECORDINGS acts as a a supplement to the more official compilation, the two-CD PERFECT STRANGER: THE ISLAND ANTHOLOGY. Still, this selection is notable for its inclusion of Faithfull's eerie rendition of "Trouble In Mind" from Alan Rudolph's '80s retro detective film of the same name, and the powerful live version of the scabrous "Times ...

$10.65 
Stars reveal an obsession with stylish '80s rock on Nightsongs; the most obvious evidence is the band's cover of the Smiths' "This Charming Man." But that doesn't mean the Montréal group's debut sounds like it's from that decade. Drawing equally from new wave and the sophisticated electronic pop of acts such as Saint Etienne ...
| | New Life Community Choir Blessed By Association CD (2002)
Black Moon MP3 Album
$7.79
Recorded live at New Life Sound Stage, Charlotte, North Carolina.
BLESSED BY ASSOCIATION was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Gospel Choir Or Chorus Album.
From the very first few seconds of BLESSED BY ASSOCIATION, wherein Elder Rance Allen's frenetic introduction could give that of KISS ALIVE a run for its money, the high-energy quotient here is quite palpable. The Reverend John P. Kee, backed by his New Life choir, presents a full program of spiritual music that appeals simultaneously to spirit, ear, and feet. "He's the Greatest" kicks things off full-tilt with the gospel/funk/R&B amalgam that is a Kee trademark, while "It's Time for Worship" is given a more traditional choral arrangement. The grooving, mid-tempo R&B jam of "Me Out" wouldn't sound out of place on a latter-day Bill Withers album. And all this stylistic diversity comes just within ...
