Rain Tree Crow I kinda know... it was "big in France", which is where I
lived when it came out.

The Fripp collaboration might make sense, too.  I like almost everything on
which I've heard Fripp's-- or for that matter Belew's-- playing except for,
oddly, King Crimson, which always strikes me as exactly the wrong
combination of muso and neanderthal tendencies.  I just don't know what's
wrong with me, Linus.
