Keith Emerson's '3 Fates' Project

Moonies,

http://auralmoon.com/index.php?optio...299&Ite mid=2

I downloaded Keith Emerson, Marc Bonilla & Terje Mikkelsen's new CD - "Three Fates Project" from iTunes - $10 for the whole album. An hour of music - some old - TARKUS - a new version, Endless Enigma and Fanfare for the Common Man. Plus - one that KE & MB have been doing for a few years - Malambo. There is also an interesting version of Marc Bonilla's American Matador.

It is a wonderful listen. The Keith Emerson Band - with Marc Bonilla - is well integrated with the orchestra sound of Terje Mikkelsen's conducting of the Munich RundFunkOrchestra. There are a few 'new' songs that have a strong orchestral flavor - reminding me of KE's soundtrack work.

The new version of Tarkus (Concertante) is really good. In my mind, I can hear Greg Lake singing the lyrics - but the melody of the lyrics is there - in guitar, piano, synth, and orchestral parts. It is quite good - and even a little less bombastic.

The download from iTunes included a multipage digital booklet - with short articles about each of the three main performers and a list of the KEB members and Orchestra members.

Lamour might even enjoy some of this! I downloaded it on Friday night - and have listened to it 3 full times so far.... with anticipation for more listening this week.

Sharing my thoughts...


Regards from Texas,
Ted

Mariocc,

You are most welcome. I really enjoyed the CD and Marc Bonilla does an amazing bit of guitar work. He and Emerson have been playing together for a few years.

I appreciate your kind words. Have a GREAT day.

Regards from Texas,
Ted
