All of the artists you mentioned worked with them before Red, so what's your
point? Saying that King Crimson was the "IDM of the 60's and 80's" is a
little over the top, if not downright goofy, but I don't get this whole
"so-and-so played with so-and-so after he left so-and-so, therefore he's a
cheeseball" mentality. The only song I can think of by King Crimson that
fits nicely onto IDM-related compilations I've made is 'The Sheltering Sky'
from Discipline. Damn that song is nice.
