In a recent interview that appeared in Jam, Greg Lake has the new editions of the super group: self-titled debut album in 1970 to "not exceptional" "In The Hot Seat" in 1994. He also talked about new tours around the world, but what surprises most is the possibility arises that in 2011 a new album weblog Emerson, Lake & Palmer! The aim of this would attract to the magical world of the young trio of two thousand and I hope that this can happen, although I am very skeptical. I do not dare criticize Lake and initiatives of the group, and I can understand the desire to get back into the game with a few dates here and there, but try out a new album is a mistake. And I'm not the only one who thinks so: Palmer, historian drummer, does not seem to be in tune with Lake, on the contrary. "Let the legend where he is: one of the legends, in fact," says Palmer, and he has a point. I agree, the risk is doing even worse than "In The Hot Seat." And Lake is working on a solo project, Palmer around the world with his band and Emerson was made recently in the colon.
How you can lose yourself in the 20-minute "Tarkus" or the wonderful "Take a Pebble", but to hear a new album of Elp curiosity is not there. The risk is that a big flop, because the expectations will be huge. The old fans will be disappointed and probably will not understand the new Elp the early 70's.
The Emerson Lake & Palmer is a legend, and this must remain so.
