Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Black Moon (2017 Remaster) (1992/2017)

Formed in 1970, Emerson, Lake & Palmer were torchbearers of the progressive rock sound and one of rock’s first super-groups. The world-conquering, stadium-filling prog giants helped to broaden the audience for the genre from hundreds of thousands into tens of millions and were one the most commercially successful rock bands of the 1970s. Their first 7 album releases all made the U.K. albums chart top 10 and U.S. top 20.

Black Moon is ELP’s eighth studio album. It was released in 1992 when the band re-formed after 14 years, having split-up after their previous album, ‘Love Beach’ in 1978, and represents a real return to form. The music is a stripped-down, amped-up, more mainstream rock format, though in many places retaining the feel of their 70s prog epics. Expertly re-mastered for the first time by celebrated rock studio engineer Andy Pearce.

Disc 2 of the CD features a full, re-mastered recording of the critically acclaimed ‘Live At The Royal Albert Hall 1992’ show, part of ELP’s successful world comeback tour, which captured them at their powerful, exciting best.
