Musical visionaries Keith Emerson and Greg Lake planned to reform ELP in 1984; however drummer Carl Palmer was unavailable. Into the frame stepped the legendary Cozy Powell.
The band's self-titled studio album delivers material familiar in style to ELP with long progressive rock tracks, mellow ballads, and a classical theme (‘Mars, The Bringer Of War' by Gustav Holst, a piece previously performed by Lake during his tenure in King Crimson).
“This collection pays fitting tribute to the power and creativity of three extremely talented musicians and their all too brief collaboration. Savour the music. We’re unlikely to ever see their like again.” Jerry Ewing, editor, PROG magazine.
