He actually looks like Reb Brown! (for you who don't know, it's a B movie actor. Look up "Your - Hunter From The Future".

cool footage! always loved that album, totally dark and unnerving! yeah, i agree, if only they"d of gone further with E.L.P and done "brain salad" part two!! but even E.L.P were playing the media game, like yes and genesis, nothing stays the same it seems, that"s why we need a time machine that puts us permanently in circa 1969-1974 ! lol!

the greatest...

ja, emerson haciendo música tipo clásica con toques modernos, y claro, hacía un año había dejado emerson lake & palmer

de un modo u otro emerson es un recapo capísimo supercapo recontra archi mil capísisisisimo

y para los que creen que emerson no sigue haciendo buena música, escuchen el último album solista que sacó en 2008: keith emerson band con marc bonilla

Keith! When I was a very young keyboardist in Italy... when I was one of his virtual student... well... he wrote and played many tracks for Dario Argeneto's horrors movie. And more. I know him...in 1992 (but the first show that I sow was in 1972...)

Anyway... 'bout me the best Keith's sound was with ELP and Nice, buut I'm very happy to look at him to play an horror soundtrak (it's a playback... i think so...) with a big smile at the beginning

Sorry for my english... I'm Italian...

This is great!

One of my favourite Emerson pieces since the first few albums with ELP. I used to have a cassette tape of this and played the hell out of it all the time.

So my Latin's a bit rusty, but the first bit goes something like this:

Mother of sighs, (suspiriorum)

Of tears, (lachrimarum)

Of shadows (tenebrarum) - sounds better in Latin with all the extra syllables etc.

Looks like Argento made a 3rd film of a trilogy (The Three Mothers) in 2007 - I just found a wikipedia page on it.

Great music...too bad ELP did not stuck together a few more years.

One more good studio LP would have been nice!
