Too bad there was only one good album.

You mean Danger Money, right?  ;D I actually prefer the 3 piece lineup of UK and the solo Bruford stuff to the first UK album. I think they were both more fully realized, whereas shoehorning a guy like Holdsworth into UK or getting Wetton to do jazz fusion was sort of a compromise. Just my opinion. Plus I have a thing for trios.

John Wetton Was A huge influence on me as well. I loved his singing as well as his playing. I must have listened to UK's "Danger Money" album and ASIA's first
album a million times over back in the day. A few years later, when MTV was in it's heyday, I used to love watching that ASIA video  "The Smile Has Left Your Eyes."
May you Rest In Peace, John, and thanks for everything.
