Interesting, I get a completely different perspective of Bill's
contribution to KC. The only recording where I feel it could even be
remotely argued that there is an imbalance between his contributions
and the other bandmembers' is on _thrack_ and even there it's not so
much a case of him outshining anyone or stealing their thunder, but
rather of him assuming the role of Provocateur.

In the Wetton/Cross era KC seemed to be an incredibly well-balanced
trio with equal contributions from Fripp, Wetton, & Bruford (and then
this occasional squawk from Cross or Muir). And all three 80's KC
albums are models of democracy, with no one member ever standing out
from the composite fabric.

Or did you just mean that Bill is *better* than all the other guys?
