stung Sting?   how about crushed under a boot heel

I don't blame you, it was quite a drop-off from the debut..  didn't get back his stride till Ten Summoners Tales, which was OK

"good in parts"

Brian mentioned him earlier in the thread...  I've been listening to his solo albums.. haven't made it to the Fripp albums yet.  My take on Fripp/Summers, Masked is serious Asian/African/Gamelan Fripp mixed with world traditional classical and Bewitched is lighter instrumental prog meets exotica, a bit like Bo Hanson and Manzenera. I like that expression, curate's egg, but I don't remember what it means.

enjoying his solo albums still... I'll head to that album after I finish the one I am listening to.  Think he can go to J-R.  Loved his album of Monk's music.

among all the things Raff and I did that we proudest of here... it was bringing Rico on board. We joke about being his step-parents.. but damned if we didn't feel pride at his musical sucesses as if he was.

I love his reviews.

this summation is classic...

For fans means for those who can find warmth in frozen expression,and glimpse of spark in slumber distorion.For those who can really cope with un-greatness and can expand their horizon so far as to allow things like this to stay alive and to provoke motion.

nice one Vic..

^ you aren't half bad yourself you know.

Bewitched has this one real long silly ie dreary 'disco' number, the rest isn't too bad. I like all that old synth-exotica stuff, probably a lot of prog-rockers don't

good plan, wish I'd thought of that

I'll take a listen to it.  The reviews and comments have made me really curious.

Oh, you've got to be talking about "What Kind of Man Reads Playboy?"  I liked it.  It is corny though.  And I was reading Penthouse at the time,
