█ ôRide the Tigerö contains six songs which the duo █
█ wrote together û one went on to became an ASIA █
█ song and two became ELP songs. Four of these █
█ tracks had been released on compilations before, █
█ but this is the FIRST TIME they have been █
█ collected together with TWO PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED █
█ tracks PLUS one alternate mix. █
█ █
█ ôTo be honest I thought that these recordings had █
█ simply disappeared off the radar until one of my █
█ management team Daniel Earnshaw reminded me of █
█ their existence. My initial reaction was not █
█ entirely positive as I generally view many of █
█ these re-releases to be a bit tiresome, however, █
█ upon hearing these recordings again I immediately █
█ identified their value, both in terms of song █
█ writing and of musicianship and production. Geoff, █
█ of course, is a masterful musician with an █
█ instinctive ability to maximise the potential of █
█ any song both as a player and as an arranger. His █
█ contribution to these recordings is clear for all █
█ to see and for me it was a real pleasure to █
█ reflect upon our friendship together both █
█ personally and as musicians.ö û Greg Lake █
█ █
█ ôOne of the privileges of my career has been the █
█ opportunity to embrace a number of bespoke █
█ projects with some of the worldÆs greatest █
█ musicians. Greg Lake, of course was at the █
█ forefront of the progressive revolution, lead █
█ vocalist and bassist with both King Crimson and █
█ ELP, bands which literally changed the world, █
█ pushing boundaries of excellence and creativity, █
█ creating a brand new musical genre from London █
█ which would soon captivate the planet. This █
█ collection of songs represents a particularly █
█ creative period in my life. IÆm delighted that █
█ Greg and I have rekindled our friendship, and █
█ worked together again in order to share this █
█ collection with you.ö û Geoff Downes █
