John Wetton"Sinister" 2001 (Fripp)

The 2001 solo album by ex-Asia/King Crimson/Uriah Heep et al vocalist/musician. There is an impressive supporting cast including Jim Petrik (ex-Survivor), Steve Hackett (ex-Yes/GTR), John Mitchell (Arena), Tod Sucherman (Styx) and John Young (ex-Uli Jon Roth/Asia) amongst others. Bryan Adams’ co-writer Jim Vallance also co-writes and plays on a couple of tracks including the opener ‘Heart of Darkness’, with its pomp rock intro and Asia like harmonies.Robert Fripp

Jim Petrik appears on the ballad ‘No Ordinary Miracle’ where John Wetton’s voice gets a good chance to shine very US AOR in style like Survivor and Two Fires. ‘Where Do We Go From Here?’ is a classic pop rock tune and will appeal to Wetton fans everywhere. King Crimson’s Robert Fripp and former King Crimson member Ian McDonald guest on the instrumental ‘E-SCAPE’. Very mellow in style, almost veering into New Age territory. Rocker
