Not really. There's nothing quite like those two. It's worth hearing the Brand X albums from that period for what the Phil Collins/Percy Jones rhythm section sounded like in a jazz fusion context (yes, Phil can actually be quite good when he keeps his yap shut). Another suggestion would be the Holger Czukay albums "Movies" and "On The Way To The Peak Of Normal". At 05:52 PM 2/2/99 -0500, Bob Bannister wrote:

Having just gone thru my annual "listen to all 22 Wire-related albums I own" ritual, I have to say I'm still partial to "The Ideal Copy + SnakeDrill" CD for its texture and oblique lyrics. Che
