R.I.P. Keith Emerson

As a tribute to this king of the keyboard a couple of classic prog rock grooves from him and and his bands.

The Nice - Hang On To A Dream

The Nice - America

Emerson Lake and Palmer - Tarkus

TArkus still remains my favourite ELP album , esp. this long 20 min title track - it conveys what prog rock was all about with complex time signatures and , based on motifs and extemporization, plus an unfolding sound and groove similar to classical music and modern jazz, makes this one album alone a highlight.

I also played this vinyl LP as well.

FFS! I was only offline for three days! Makes me a bit sad. I grew up with EL&P
