It is about time that I make collage for one the top 70's prog band of all time. Prog rock is Dead? I don't think so. It is more alive than back in their hey Days!. many had forgot ( VH1 Classic) how famous ELP was in the 70's. that they complete ignored them. ELP was one the band that got me into prog back in the 80's at the age of 14. I remember buying the first ELP and I was musically blown way, Man! what a great record and it didn't sound dated at all. This most be one the fastest collage I ever made that i like a lot. I like the simplicity of this one. 

 

 

Nicked it for my computer background. (hope thats allright)

thank a lot!

thanks yes I agree ! love this collage!

thanks no I don't mind! I am quiet honor. visit my blog to get  higher Resolution.

 

I think this one is better because: a) less use of photos and b) Love Beach is being stomped by Tarkus hahaha awesome idea!

 

Great, great work!

 

Awesome collage!!!

My opinion is this is undoubtedly one of your best.

 

Inspirational and has gone straight to my wallpaper and looks amazing. I like the way you have a section for each member and this is a very tasteful collage, not over cluttered but spacious and easy on the eyes. Tarkus destroying Love Beach is genius! The huge Brain Salad Girl is tasteful too without the phallus, or is it hidden there? LOL. I think it looks amazing as it comes out of the clouds like a great Goddess of Prog!

 

I love the Black Moon merry go round in the distance and the rainbow path and the shining light of the logo. Trilogy profiles work in well and especially the dove flying into the blue sky. In a lot of ways it represents the music, freedom, innovation and outside the box. The water dripping down the edge sets off the atmosphere beautifully. it is aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The depth and dimension of the artwork is astonishing. The illusion made real by a sense of an horizon and distance especially the way the rainbow comes from a distance in to the foreground.

 

Emerson shining the light out is nice, and really cool borders setting off the use of vibrant blue. Pictures at an Exhibition is great here with the band members in the frames, you haven't missed the excitement of the band live with Emerson's inferno piano and Palmer's gong. It is subtle but effective the way there are a few images behind the initial band member's images, to set off the journey of each member, past to present. A+ as usual (from a College teacher's POV that is, me).

Otherwise its pretty good.

Do I see the Hot Seat locomotive by the carousel?

thanks friend!!!! 

The detail of it all being framed in the opening BSS opening sleeve is also great.

Just miss the spinning piano somewhere

 thanks. You know I was looking for that image extremely hard, but I couldn't find it at all. but I had the intention to put there.

 

Too late but just FYI you have one here although not a great one

 thanks  man you found it! I might add it.!!

 thanks!!!

Not really at all.  I didn't have many great ELP Images that I liked and ELP didn't have that many great albums either

The baby is doing great getting bigger all ready and eating like a champion. thanks for asking brother.

This picture was taken when he was 8 days. he now almost 29 days.

welcome!

 Sorry Scott!!! I don't know why I thought you name was steve!

thanks!!!!

I said it My first ELP album was their debut album. quiet fantastic album. I still love all ELP, Tarkus, Pictures, Brain and Trilogy. Work 1 and 2 has some great tunes but they aren't fav albums. I like Black moon better.

Love the simplicity, less is more with this one

 

Love Beach has a fabulous bad reputation therefore is essential listening! The reviews are worth bottling, along with any other stinker in the prog universe. These albums have to exist so we can see just how awesome the other albums are.... Put on Love Beach first 3 songs, then play first 3 songs of the debut album - They are in alternate mirror universes! 

I like Love Beach. I have warmed to it over time.

Thank you ! landoflein and Uduwudu.!

Yeah, I said that many times that my collages are pure tribute to the band and I am hoping to encourage people and fans ( as my self) to re-discover or revisited them all over again. I always do every time I start doing a colloge. I want to interpret the sound with collages. 

Speaking about Love Beach. It isn't that I hate the album. I remember the first I heard it I liked it more than I like it now. I  was very young and ELP was one my fav bands at the time and listening to this album that no nobody had  mentioned  before. that t was so strange. I even thought it twas album that was never came out officially  or that it was made in the Caribbean judging the album cover so horrible!. comparing with the quiet awesome early albums covers. I thought it was a joke!. 

I gave a another try years later and I couldn't listen to the whole thing .. too boring. but I don't hate it. it is ELP regardless  how bad it is and it is  the beautiful voice of Greg Lake.

 yeah you are right! it is a reaction of the popular opinion and their own fans. I think that album should of never came out. It was better in oscurity.

I also think ROger Water Radio Kaos is a bad as Love Beach AND I am a huge Pink FLoyd Fan.
