-I don't know would any of you care about these covers if they were made by a trio of guys with a bandcamp-account?

She has covered many other classics like King Crimson's Starless, Lark's Tongues in Aspic (both parts) or Zappa's Peaches en Regalia. If anything can be critisized is that her covers are perhaps too identical to the originals, and because she uses software instruments they may sound sometimes a bit artificial, missing the nuances from real instruments played by great musicians.

So now I've finally checked this recent prog-phenomena out. Apart from being
impressed that she pulls it off I fail to understand how this can be
an interesting listen to anyone. Until the vocals kick in Pirates*
now sort of resemble a generic score for a 30-40-year old
Spielberg/Lucas-styled action/adventure. Sorry, its a no from me. Hope
she'll do something interesting with her undeniable talent some day. |

Hi,
Yeah ... what next? Total wow and then some ... I would love to have a chance to see her in concert ... and I bet that she would surprise us with something new or different. Again, it is showing how much more of a "composer" Keith Emerson was, and we only think of him as a keyboard player ... he deserves better and I think he will remembered for a long time to come, and someone like Rachel Flowers is simply adding to that like no one else, today, can ... totally insane and amazing.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
