I voted for Greg Lake and Geoff Downes - Ride The Tiger although it's only an EP. Released in 2015 it was recorded in the 80's at Greg Lake's home in Bournemouth and came out of Lake's brief appearance in the band Asia when standing in for John Wetton. 3 songs on that made it onto future ELP albums , Money Talks became Paper Blood along with Affairs Of The Heart (on Black Moon) while Street War was the only other passable song (after Hand Of Truth) on their disastrous 1994 album In The Hot Seat. One of the songs also ended up on an Asia album with John Payne (not sure which though only a few options are left!). BTW until now it had not registered with me that Michael Giles played drums on this. WOW!

We should think ourselves lucky. The Chinese have 4,000 letters in their alphabet. Tongue

That's more letters than I have CDs and pants combined. Wow.
Imagine what a Chinese Scrabble set would be like. You'd need a wheelbarrow to hold all the letters. Tongue

I'm throwing Levin a bone because Double Espresso is better than the scoop of monosodium glutamate I add to my coffee on the eve of the vernal equinox.

Just on time! 'Islands' has always been a top pick for me in terms of KC so I could not leave it voteless. Smile
