4 stars It's quite interesting to return to these Emerson solo albums after such a long time. For some reason no one has yet to write a review for this yet it has the highest rating of any Emerson solo album. Go figure.

This is the third Emerson film soundtrack and really the last one that is worth taking seriously. I did check out the film and unfortunately it's not up to much. Emerson though does a great job the highlight being the 15 minute track called Orchestral Suite to Best Revenge. It compares favourably to Pirates in my view although you may ask , ''but there is no Carl Palmer?'' Instead we have Aynsley Dunbar of all people. Not a bad swap! I enjoy this album a lot , Emerson's choppy style of keyboards coming to the fore on The Runner and dear ole Brad Delp (Boston) even appears on Playing For Keeps. No bad tracks and a well organised album this is probably the best of the OST's that Emerson did. Can't quite go 5 stars but still a well earned 4 stars in my book.
