1992 Emerson, Lake & Palmer – Black Moon
Black Moon is the eighth studio album, and the first in fourteen years, by progressive rock band Emerson, Lake & Palmer, released on 27 June 1992. The band had broken up in 1979, and recorded Black Moon to kick off their 1990s revival.
The track “Affairs of the Heart” originated in summer 1988 sessions by Lake with Geoff Downes under the project name Ride the Tiger. Another song from the sessions, “Money Talks”, became “Paper Blood” with a different chorus and new music. Ride the Tiger was finally released in 2015.
