THE NICE KEITH EMERSON - Ars Longa Vita Brevis now available at plastichead plastichead/catalogue.asp?ex=fitem&verb=F&target=LETV171LP Ars Longa Vita Brevis is the second album by the English progressive rock group The Nice. Guitarist David OList left the band during the recording of the album, leaving the remaining three members to complete it. After flirting briefly with replacement guitarists (including Steve Howe, later to join Yes (official)), The Nice decided to carry on as a keyboard-led trio. The title is an aphorism attributed to Hippocrates usually rendered as Art is long, life is short. Structurally the album started where its predecessor left off- shortish songs and extended work-outs based on classical themes- but a step forward was taken with the addition of an orchestra and the extended length of Ars Longa Vita Brevis itself, foreshadowing the later Five Bridges Suite.
