My thanks to Joseph for sending me
this link to an interview with Andy Partridge discussing the 1987 song "Little Lighthouse" and the oblique influence of Crimson upon its recording. Of course there are lots of Crimson - XTC connections: Barry Andrews joined Fripp on
Exposure and in the League of Gentlemen after leaving XTC, Pat Mastelotto played with them on
Oranges & Lemons and when I interviewed Dave Gregory a few years back he copped to being a big fan of
In The Wake of Poseidon. Of course it's a well-known secret that if you play their first album backwards it pays an eerie homage to "Peoria" from
Earthbound. Well, OK I made that last bit up but you get the idea.
