Yeah, it was with a guy named Ray Wilson. The album wasn't very good, but
Wilson's voice was amazing, I like his voice a lot more than Collins, but
Rutherford and Banks did most of the writing, so they're the one to blame for
the album's weak material. I have some bootlegs from the tour though, and
Wilson does an admirable job on the old stuff, especially the Gabriel-era
tracks they dug out. I guess he's going to make solo albums now, I'm looking
forward to them, incredible voice.

That's kind of funny, the first King's X album I heard was "Dogman," I listened
to it all the way through and couldn't even begin to comprehend what all the
fuss was about, I thought it was a really boring album. I got "Faith Hope
Love" later though, and that was really great.
I've never heard Atomic Opera or Galactic Cowboys, at least not yet. Just got
an Ozric Tentacles bootleg though, I need to give that a listen. I'll let you
know what I think when I get a chance to seriously listen to it...
Prog lives! :)
