David Cross for his work in King Crimson and his solo albums.
Graham Smith of VDGG, only in The Quiet Zone/The Pleasure Dome, unfortunately.
Iva Bittová, excellent solitaire from Eastern Europe.
Sergio Polizzi, excellent gem from Southern America (Argentinian band Bubu).
Jerry Goodman of Mahavishnu Orchestra and solo albums.
Jean-Luc Ponty - the same.
Ray Shulman for his incredible work for Gentle Giant.

And the live album "Vital", on which you also find a cello, played by Charles Dickie. One of the best live albums ever. Also several Hammill solo albums ("Over","The Future Now", "PH7"). Other albums with violin: High Tide's "Sea Shanties", s/t and "Precious Cargo". Several Hawkwind albums: "Warrior on the Edge of Time", "Astounding Sounds, Amazing Music", "Quark, Strangeness and Charm", "PXR 5", "25 Years On", "Space Bandits","Palace Springs". Aera: "Hand und Fuß". Multi-instrumentalist Chris Karrer of Amon Düül 2 uses violin too, but since he is a multi-instrumentalist you won't find the violin on all tracks of Amon Düül 2 albums. He is one of the wildest violinists out there. |

Any Kansas album with Robby Steinhardt, followed by basically any Kansas album with David Ragsdale.

I like "Larks' Tongue in Aspic." Not an easy listen, but once it has its hooks in you, you begin to crave it.
