Somebody actually defended Tormato in the book - and did it well. We've also got a King Crimson record (Lizard, I think). Not afraid of Prog! (Though I think that might be it.)

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Hey Jon, song #10 rolled up and I had to go check the liner notes because I liked it so much.

Very interesting record. Highly free-jazzy, even for such an improvisational band as the Crim.

I am so honored to play music with that guy. And ya know what Pete did today? He called me from Spain during my party to wish me a happy birthday!
Speaking of King Crimson, you could do worse than to listen to the music of Dokaka -- a Japanese guy who does a note-perfect acapella version of 21st Century Schizoid Man. The live version with the extended instrumental break. Really, it must be heard to be believed.

But Going for the One, which was after Tormato, was actually pretty decent.
Acutally Going for the One was '77, Tormato '78. Going for the One is one of my favorites.

I've never actually heard all of Tormato - what I did hear was pretty bad. I'll be interested to read the defense.

Was it Relayer then? The one without Wakeman after Topographic Oceans (and I REALLY had to try hard not to type that is Torpographic despite my love for the damn thing)?
Another pretty "meh" record, from what I remember. I could go put it on, but then again...

Yeah, Relayer ('74) is the one with Patrick Moraz instead of Wakeman.

Dokaka does an acapella version of Fracture too. IJS.
Holy crap! That's...well...INSANE among other things. Fripp would love it, I think. Just, WOW!
How was the party, Jon? Sorry I had to bail, but I am not in great shape this weekend - also totally blew off (the completely voluntary but I really should have gone in) work.
eta Lark's Tongues, Kid Charlamegne and Green Earrings? Holy crap! This guy is a madman.
