I must admit, apart from Rallizes, JRS never really inspired me to check things out in the way KRS did. Perhaps I should reappraise.

I was of the same mind and really didn't enjoy it in terms of the writing style either. It all seemed a bit forced to me. That said knowing your stuff and your taste a bit I would very highly recommend

Catch Wave by Takehisa Kosugi
August 1974 by Taj Mahal Travellers

If you can imagine the Page "Lucifer's Rising" score taken to its true destination then that is Catch Wave. August 74 is equally unsettling listening.

I would also recommend everything by Far East Family Band who are a progtastic cross between PFM, mid period Floyd, the Moodies and BJH. They are not in the least bit edgy.

Overall I think that like KRS the real revolution stuff is in the audio Guernica instrumental music rather than "Hey hey! We're the Marxists".
