Even then after a couple of minutes I've had enough.

nice footage but having that pumped directly into your head as they make it swirl around...

I can listen to Fripp and Eno's No Pussyfooting but Metallic Sphere makes me anxious and nauseous

I remember Eno scored a movie a year or 2 ago but where is Rober Fripp these days?

Did you ever hear of the band UK? They were sometime in between King Crimson and God was Asia the name? I think that was it.

I heard something by them once that was phenomenal... I'll have to google and try to find it. Have no idea if they were big or what back then...

I have 1 album by UK. I seldom play it though. I don't remember what happened to UK I can't go through my collection now, it's all boxed up ready for a move.


I think Asia was big at being a slick pop band

I found some of their stuff last night...

Was surprised as I assumed Bill Bruford was their sole drummer but then there were a few clips with Terry Bozzio (I didn't realize what a baby he was at the time).

Interesting to watch those two... Bruford with his fluid style, almost looked like he wasn't moving in parts and Bozzio looking more like Moonie with the crazed, all over the place thing going on.

I never did find the song I was looking for but ended up watching some very old Crimson stuff I had never seen (God John Wetton just had such a fantastic voice. How underrated was he?) so it's all good.

He was with Wishbone Ash for their "Number the Brave" album

Did anyone else cringe the first time they heard this (and I like him!)?

If people look at that and don't know what it is I wonder what they think, Herkie.

Mr. Wingnut Sir I had never once heard that band in my life!
