I wasn't really alluding to KC being Dance Music, but to the way KC fans
and IDM fans are both extremely microscopic in their scrutiny of the
music/scene - which isn't a bad thing, I'm including myself as such after
all! And, you must admit that not many other dinosaur prog bands from the
70's were using electronic gear to anywhere near the same extent as KC in
the early 80's, whether you like the tunes or not.
Thanks for what was most likely the first mention of Asia on the IDM list
though! :)

Not me, mate. After 'Red' it was downhill all the way. Let's not forget
that they featured amongst their line-ups John Wetton of the execrable
Asia , the lyrics of Pete Sinfield whose poetry is on a par with Jon
Anderson's and Greg Lake of ELP before we get all nostalgic about them.
But I spose, when compared with other prog groups from the same period,
they are on another level. But there was certainly nothing D (Dance)
about them.
