Which songs did you hear in such situations? I don't remember that ... maybe Englishman in New York, but that's about it.Embarrassed

I'd have no objections to Sting in prog-related, but shouldn't Andy Summers be ahead in line for Jazz-Rock/Fusion?

educate me my friend.. I know of his work with the Animals outside the Police... but not much else.  Wasn't much a fan of the Police to be honest.

Understood, Synchronicity got me into them.  Aside from the Summers/Fripp albums, which might be considered crossover perhaps?  I have the following:
XYZ    1986
Mysterious Barricades    1987
Golden Wire, The    1989
Charming Snakes    1990
World Gone Strange    1991
Last Dance of Mr. X, The    1997
Come to think depending on which album these could be more crossover.

Speaking of Sting related additions, what happened to David Sancious and or Tone for JR? I know some of my recomendations are contraversial, but this one's a "no-brainer" (I hate that expression).

When I ran his recommendation in the CZ all the comments were positive. He's not a personal favorite but when I listened to this Tone record I have, I couldn't believe he wasn't already here. The record I have is classic 70s prog influenced fusion ala Holdsworth, Bruford, RTF, Ponty etc.

And speak of the devil, I believe he works with Sting a lot.

For what it's worth I think every one of those I got at a used record store.  They are all dirt cheap at half.com should you actually want to spend some money.  And here's his web site for the curious.

Martin and I have a pretty good relationship so I'll talk to him.  If he approves.. I'll let you know. You give me the pertinent info.. and I'll add him.  I have about 6 Italian artists of my own I need to do addtions from the ground floor up on that were postponed during vacation. However if you'll do the leg work.. I'll add him.

Thanks Michael, just let me know if he gets on board and I will help. I'm pretty sure Dick Heath was keen on him due to comments he left in the Sancious thread.


P.S. The Summers-Fripp albums are great, of course they are here as Fripp albums, but I would imagine Summers is worth checking out on his own.

I think Summers merits serious discussion, I'll see what my fellow X-dressers think of him. 

If he was added.  We would do like we did with Sylvian and Fripp... it would be a separate entry as Summers-Fripp.   Probably should have been done that way anyway. 

I'll let you know if he is on board with us adding Sancious.  PM'ing him and getting his thoughts and opinion on it.
