1992 studio album by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Black Moon is the eighth studio album , and the first in fourteen years, by progressive rock band Emerson, Lake & Palmer , released in 1992 .
The track "Affairs of the Heart" originated in summer 1988 sessions by Lake with Geoff Downes under the project name Ride the Tiger.
The album received mixed reviews, failing to obtain the acclaim of their earlier work. AllMusic said of the album, "The original trio's first studio album in a dozen years suffers from the inevitable ageing and darkening of Lake's voice, and a lack of real impetus".
