The Endless Enigma (Part One)
|
|
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

"The Endless Enigma (Part One)," though I enjoy "Tank" and "A Time & A Place" a good deal. "Still..." is a good tune, too.
I must say (sorry, Richard!) I never listen to "Pirates." It was kind of cool to see it performed at the Black Moon concert (my first time seeing ELP), but it's never been an "it" track for me.

None of this songs are really among the ones I enjoy from the band. I guess the closes would be "A Time & a Place", but actually it would be because of the live version I have on "Then & Now", played in the 90's... the heavier aproach, plus the "new" voice from Lake kind of suited the song and made me like it.

Why indeed !! The 'Royal Albert Hall' version during the 'Black Moon' gig kills the 70's versions.

funnily enough I heard Darren Reddick (a big prog and ELP fan) play that version on the radio last week. I don't like it only because of the dreadful enhanced electronic drums that Carl used at the Albert Hall. They seriously grate on my ears. Luckily when I saw ELP on the Black Moon Tour (at Colston Hall , Bristol) he had dropped them for whatever reason. Phew!

I haven't heard that version, but it might just as well fix the song to my ears, just as the 90's live version of "A Time and a Place" did.

Damn right about Pirates ! It's really a great track, but I can't say it is my favourite ELP track because I just listened to it for the first time. Pirates indeed deserves being at least the second more voted here. That said, just knew Changing States and it's a stunnig track too, the organ played there is overwhelming!

^Perhaps this is the thought of many people who voted for The Endless Enigma, in my opinion.

Changing States is good but have you heard Keith Emerson's solo version which is named Another Frontier? This was recorded before ELP did it and featured on his solo album Changing States ( confusing I know!) . I much prefer this version as produced by the late great Kevin Gilbert. The recent reissue includes extensive sleevenotes by Emerson about Gilbert so that is a big bonus.

No I haven't, but without the slightest doubt it is indeed another nice recommendation of yours that I'm going to check out soon, I think you can notice it is turning out hard for me to have the awesome ELP's music standing too long in my wishlist.

Damn right! The original sounds indeed much better for my ears... And if the organ sounds overwhelming in Changing States as I said then Another Frontier has a much more overwhelming presence of it. I'm eagerly looking forward to put the hands on this album...
