I absolutely love ‘Starless’, although ‘21st Century Schizoid Man’ changed my life as regards music, ‘Starless’ is just a sublime, beautiful piece of music, and I was fortunate enough to get to see KC on their 50th Anniversary tour, fifty years after first hearing them, and seeing them play ‘Starless’. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Thanks for this really touching post. I love Wetton’s body of work. Crimson, U.K., Asia, solo, and those more recent Icon collaborations (3 releases) with Geoff Downes, which strongly echo Asia, sonically. I’ve been leaning heavily into the run of albums from Islands (the last before the Wetton era) to Red. Hard to hear Exiles without my throat tightening and ■■■■■ eyes.
