Credits from people has worked with Emerson, Lake & Palmer:
Peter Zumsteg (original manager of Manticore record Company in London back to 1973) said: “This ELP Tribute have the same huge sound of the early EL&P !!! They’re well worth and deserve to go on tour around the world.....”
Eileen Craddock (Admin. of Ladies of the Lake – www.ladiesofthelake.com):
“Mauro, I've just watched "The Barbarian," and all I can say is, DAMN! You guys sound really great! Well done and nice work by the videographer - very professional. Your sound is huge and you guys are getting better each time I watch/listen. The pics on your site are beautiful. You don't know how much I wish I could see you guys play! Maybe someday you will come over to the US.
Thanks for sending the link, it was well worth it!

- A Great Show with a wall of sound of the 70's,
a tribute to Emerson lake & Palmer (The only Italian ELP tribute) , with a nod to King Crimson.
Using original vintage 70's instruments (Hammond organ, Lesley, Mini Moog, Fender Jazz Bass, Gibson Bass, Guild 12 strings acoustic guitar, Gretsch Drums, bell and Chinese Gongs!).
The band is a powerful trio recreating the famous aggressive wall of sound of the 70's years and capturing the magic atmosphere of the ELP music featuring:
Fabio Mancini on Hammond and keys (a graduated pianist of the conservatory in piano and organ. He has already recorded the famous suite of the ELP "Tarkus" with the band Lorien),
Mauro Aimetti on bass, 6 & 12 string acoustic guitars, Vocals (Steve Washington "Whitney Houston", Ged Lynch "Peter Gabriel, Dave Gilmour" Giulio Capiozzo "AREA", Bernardo Lanzetti & Walter Calloni "PFM" etc.) an outstanding, beautiful bass player ,acoustic guitarist and vocalist, one of the best in Italy and very known in UK as well. His voice is really reach the colour tones in the mood of Greg Lake - Taken from Newspaper "La Prealpina", "La Provincia", "Corriere Della Sera").
Marco Fabbri on Drums, assorted percussion and Gongs (Eclat, Odessa, Paul Whitehead) a versatile drummer, he can really play Carl Palmer chops!
Don't forget that the first ELP was on the Cotillion label as 9040. It was released the same time as the only McDonald & Giles album, as 9042. This material was finally done live in Nov. 2002, by the 21st Century Schizoid Band.
I apologize, i should have put that in italian instead of german. I said i thought that you might like to see Tarkus winking at you instead of shooting at you.
There is a question among the less informed as to weather I am really me or not . Many of them believe that I'm not and I get many messages telling me that i am a fake and a phoney. But that's just because they never bothered to look at my profile to see some of my vids..
I am happy that ELP is playing with a Symphonic orchestra!! What a huge step. I can't say enough. Thank you for writing to me and letting me know what is going on with the band and where you are going. My support is always with you!
