Me,
But I prefer to listen to Percy Jones
Fav Percy Recording: X-Communications by Brand-X, track 3, Born Ugly. His stuff with Tunnels is pretty sick also.

Good to see Kai mentioned there! I have some records on which I really dig what Kai is doing and he sounds amazing, his solo album, however, was something of a let-down.

from one fusion fan to another, what three records should I pick up to let me hear the best of Uzeb? I am determined to learn to appreciate Alain!
