This review is from: Re-Works: Brain Salad Perjury (Audio CD)

The collaboration between Keith Emerson and Mike Bennett was ambitious and greatly misunderstood by long-time fans of Emerson, Lake & Palmer.

But Emerson obviously appreciates the organic nature of music and this project took the impressive recorded output of ELP and mixed in cutting-edge sampling technology to deliver clubland/ambient sounds. The ambitious 3-CD set delivered ELP to a new audience, while carving a path in electronica that has a unique style.

Not meant to replace the original music that made ELP one of the leaders in the progressive rock movement, it actually enhances the iconic standing of the band....in the new millennium.

This CD shows how low an artist can go to squeeze a few dollars from the remains of a past career. It is pure junk and should be ignored.

Don't expect this to sound like ELP. It doesn't. This is by far the worse ELP CD ever. It's ELP in name only. Even though I tried several times, I could never even listen through the whole thing. I sold my copy and I am a big time fan of ELP. Really a waste. STAY AWAY!!
