KEITH EMERSON MUSIC TRANSCRIPTIONS BOOK

from GlassOnyon PR

The Keith Emerson Estate Announces the Release of the ‘Selections From Emerson Plays Emerson and Other Works’ Music Transcriptions Book – OUT NOW!

The Keith Emerson Estate is pleased to announce the completion and release of the music transcriptions book that Keith Emerson had been approving at the time of his passing.

The 25 transcriptions were created by a group of fans of the late composer’s work, and began as just the compositions on the ‘Emerson Plays Emerson’ album, before the book was expanded to include other works including “Piano Concerto No 1.”

The Emerson Estate would like to thank Jean Casavant and Gianfelice Riccardi for leading the groups of fans preparing these transcriptions. The Emerson Estate has commissioned its own quality control of the transcriptions and approved this book.

The book features a foreword adapted from Emerson’s emails about the project and a previously unpublished poem about composing which gives us an insight into Emerson’s mind.

Part of the late Keith Emerson’s foreword reads “So imagine my delight when news reached me that people had felt moved enough by my compositions to create transcriptions of them! Hopefully the “Emerson Plays Emerson” transcriptions will, in some small way, be useful to the next generation of composers to play and practice upon. I am humbled.”

LALALAR

Lalalar has a new single out, called "Islanjar".
On the Bongo Joe label.

Just when I was thinking that it could use a bit of fuzz guitar, it popped out !
Interesting.

KMFDM - DON'T BLOW YOUR TOP - 12"

• kmfdm: don't blow your top
      (1988, 12", ger, cash beat)

In an attempt to complete the data on KMFDM's 'Don't Blow Your Top' (a track that includes fragments of lyrics of several FZ tunes), here's the picture of the 12" that got released in 1988 on the German Cash Beat record label. (the same 12" also got released in the UK and in the US, on different labels).
This version lasts 5 minutes (compared to the 3-minute version on the album).

This is the track that got put on the "KMFDM - Extra Volume 1" album (and on 7") in 2008.

KMFDM - DON'T BLOW YOUR TOP - CD

KMFDM's 'Don't Blow Your Top' toys around with several Frank Zappa lyrics.
Originally, the track got released on KMFDM's second album, in 1988.

It got re-released in 2006 with a slightly altered album cover.

KMFDM - DON'T BLOW YOUR TOP - 7"

      (2008, 7", usa, kmfdm records)

Adding data to the Others Of Invention, here's the 2008 re-issue of the Adrian Sherwood mix of 'Don't Blow Your Top' by KMFDM.
It's a 7" on white vinyl, limited to 250 copies.
At least five different Zappa tunes contribute lyrics to 'Don't Blow Your Top': 'Son Of Suzy Creamcheese', 'I'm The Slime', 'Dirty Love', 'The Orange County Lumber Truck' and 'Bow Tie Daddy'.
Released around the same time as the "KMFDM - Extra Volume 1" collection, that also included this track.
