Karn Evil 9 - Emerson Lake And Palmer

Good morning and happy Tuesday.

Day 3 of staining the deck (still not an euphemism). We got almost all of sitting areas done, now we need to outside. That makes today "ladder day". So that's fun.

Brain Salad Surgery- Emerson, Lake & Palmer

The 1973 album Brain Salad Surgery is a fantastic prog rock album that focuses ~2/3 of the runtime to a multi part song named Karn Evil 9. Because 30 minute multi part songs are not radio friendly the part of Karn Evil 9 you'll likely hear on radio is 1st Impression Pt 2, but the full song is cool and in the 2nd Impression section it appears that Keith Emerson quotes the Sonny Rollins song St. Thomas. My favorite song is Toccata.

Spotif:

[justbeingnamaste]

Man alone, born of stone, Will stamp the dust of time His hands strike the flame of his soul; Ties a rope to a tree and hangs the Universe Until the winds of laughter blows cold.

Fear that rattles in men's ears And rears its hideous head Dread ... Death ... in the wind ...

Man of steel pray and kneel With fever's blazing torch Thrust in the face of the night; Draws a blade of compassion Kissed by countless Kings Whose jewelled trumpet words blind his sight.

Walls that no man thought would fall The altars of the just Crushed ... Dust ... in the wind ...

No man yields who flies in my ship DANGER! Let the bridge computer speak STRANGER! LOAD YOUR PROGRAM. I AM YOURSELF.

No computer stands in my way Only blood can cancel my pain Guardians of a new clear dawn Let the maps of war be drawn.

Rejoice! Glory is ours! Our young men have not died in vain, Their graves need no flowers The tapes have recorded their names.

I am all there is NEGATIVE! PRIMITIVE! LIMITED! I LET YOU LIVE! But I gave you life WHAT ELSE COULD YOU DO? To do what was right I'M PERFECT! ARE YOU?

Ah dang, Side A from Brain Salad Surgery has a skip in it. I flipped over to Side B, and so far that's playing smoothly.

I had no idea "Karn Evil 9" was from this album, so when it started with "Welcome back me friends to the show that never ends..." I Sat Up.

i love sitting outside and playing my silly prog music just loud enough for the neighbors to hear, so they’re intimidated by my music taste

[asurrogateblog]

★★★★

29:38 when you shmush all the Impressions and all the Parts together. Obviously it doesn't hang with "Dopesmoker" or "Blue Room," and comes up just a little shy of "He Loved Him Madly" and "Leng T'che," but it's got most everything else sussed in the length department.

"Karn Evil 9" was basically a song--and Brain Salad Surgery was basically an album--in wait for the proper technology to contain and transmit it.
