work to scale against six foot person
Keith Emerson led the way for 1970’s progressive music, stirring the classical gas. Genuine fanatics, Nice tackled the real thing – Tchaikovsky, Sibelius, thru Bernstein & Sondheim.
Storm reveals his inspiration for the Elegy cover for us here.
"I don't often dream images - more's the pity, it would make life easier - but I did dream this one. Whe this image 'popped' into view in the brain I had been listening to the music. "
"We drove to the Sahara in a small van full of red plastic balls, placed them in a line trying to avoid footprints and took a picture just as the sun went down (which accounts for the shadows). A sort of land art project - totally outrageous but worked a treat. I hope Keith Emerson liked it as much as we did."
