CD Reviews

HAMMER TIME

DOBIE | BUFFALO NY | 09/03/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"THE FINEST KEYBOARD PLAYER OF OUR TIME, SHINES. FROM ACCOUSTIC PIANO TO THE SYNTHESIZER TO AN ORCHESTRA, THE MAN THAT MADE MOOG FAMOUS, GIVES YOU A TASTE OF KEYBOARD EXCELLENCE."

WTG Keith Emerson

L. E Strickler | 05/05/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Blistering, sublime, ostentatious, pensive, bombastic. Words I have always used to describe and associate with this great, GREAT keyboard virtuoso. This is pure Keith Emerson, start to finish and all the proper highlights in between.

I read the "Pictures of an Exhibitionist" book around the time I purchased this album and they seem to compliment one another in an odd sort of way-highs and lows, beauty and reckless abandonment, structure and calamity.

I am sure most everyone is familiar with the music of KE (unless you have been living under a rock) and this Anthology is a perfectly packaged gem that will satisfy any urge to listen to the guy in all his splendor.

A good value and a necessary purchase for aging progsters as well as anyone that can appreciate keyboard dexterity at its absolute finest.

Good show."
