Just Plain Terrible.......2004-12-08

I wrote a previous review of this item but was told my description of how lousy this 3-cd set was just plain vulgar. And also incomprehensible (which it probably was--I was mostly drunk and completely angry at the time). So, I am trying again to help any potential buyers. Be warned: this cd is NOT an ELP cd in any sense of the word. Sure, it features recognizable snippets (mostly the same ones over and over and over again) and the occasional sampled Greg Lake vocal and some talking by Aaron Copland (I think), but in truth it's nothing more than a bunch of sampled clubtrippy mixes that lead nowhere and sent this listener to flinging the item in question out my car window as I crossed the Rio Grande River Gorge. The remixes are not overly annoying, but unless you like hipsterclub weirdness, don't bother with this. This cd sounds nothing like anything ELP has ever done and like nothing I ever want to hear again. Avoid this.

No, not that bad.......2003-11-26

While I quite understand the opinions of those regarding the Re-Works as the bottom line of ELP, I can only say that I liked it much better when I had a few more go's at it - particularly if you apply different listening technique - similar to the one you use when listen to raga or psychedelic music rather than prog-rock.

Yet I was not particularly happy with the remixes not because they're jumbled pieces of the ELP material, but probably because there were not jumbled and twisted well enough and there's some monotomous similarity between them.

Given the opportunities electronica gives I would have expected something more innnovative in terms of sounds and arrangements. Ultimatley I think they shouldn't have used the original records but rather make something altogether new based on the ELP material.

Anyway, 'cause I bought the 2CD pirate set in Tashkent for $8, I have no regrets.

Dear Mother Of God !.......2003-08-02

WHY?.......Dear Mother Of God.....WHY?...........................

Not your typical ELP, but typical TECHNO.......2003-07-08

Just as the title implies, these CDs are a "re-workings" of ELP material, and the year being 2002, that means Sampling and Electronica. The remixers took samples of ELP's Works and built new compositions out of it. The music certainly isn't ELP, but the _sounds_ are. It's very good mind you, from the concept side of things, but if you're coming at it from a techno persepective, it's very middle of the road. Ultimately, it comes across as nothing more than Jean Michel Jarre ...

If you really want extreme, look out for KNOTS compilation, which tackles Gentle Giant samples into something truly bizarre.

Fab! - But Not For The Purists!.......2003-06-11

ELP was my 1st musical love, I still love ther stuff, but now would be more liable to listen to anything from the William Orbit to Miles davis. I bought this thinking that it would be mostly [bad] but was more than presently surprised! More deconstruction/ambient/wierd than the expected full on dance mix.CD 1 is the best, Fanfare mix great and other stuff v well done, CD2 not quite as good , fanfare remix better than the one on cd1 but not much better or longer, others more clubby than 1st Cd but don't work quite as well . Vocals sampled not from ELP for some strange reason. CD3 is all fanfare remixes, not bad , but none seem to use the potentially brilliantly remixable 2nd half of the album version of fanfare.
