Subject: Re: [newmellotrongroup] When Horns Go Bad

Hi all-

   Okay, ELP's horns were okay, but their "Fanfare" was 4 minutes too long.  As a teen prog enthusiast, most of their "Works" album sets disappointed me.  I hated "Pirates".  After "Brain Salad Surgery" I expected more pure synthesis, more space.  I didn't get it (pun intended).

   To be fair, I will give "Works" another listen soon.

Sorry Bruce…there was nothing at all wrong with ELPs horns.

 

That said….good rendition Mike!  I don’t think the Mellotron horns are quite up to the task though I liked your arrangement!

Very good rendition, Mike!  The horns went good!

 

ELP's horns are the ones that went bad.
