    It would be nice if she covered ITCOTCK and changed the words.

    Is this album good? I've primarily only heard her albums before she was married to Fripp, and thought there were a few good songs though I never took to it much. I also heard those couple (or was it only one) of sort of spoken word/Frippertronics albums they did after they were together, which were interesting but not captivating. But I don't know anything about what she did after that.

    I like the Sunday All Over the World LP, kinda like '80s KC with female vox.

    Yeah the Sunday All Over The World was cool. I like the song she did with Tony Banks, 'Lion of Symmetry' too, but I haven't heard any of her solo stuff.

    I have some of her early solo Albums (or better early Albums by the band Toyah).

    I really like those (although I hardly play them now). I would recommend The Changeling or Anthem
    for starters.

    Toyah sang a cool tune on Trey Gunn's The Third Star. I'd rather not hear her do Krimson-material myself, though. Or wait, perhaps she could do like we did in one of my bands during the early 90s and arrange an acapella-rendition of "Fracture". That was real fun. She'll have to dub her vox, of course. Or maybe she could do "Groon" acapella with her husband?

    Yes, that song on The Third Star "Symbiotic" is very cool. Shame that she did not sing more for Gunn.
