In addition, thanks for the Wakeman background as well. I wasn't previously aware of that (obviously).
If anyone here ready Robert Fripp's online diary, you'll know what I'm talking about here. About a month and a half or two months ago, Robert's entry mentioned how John Wetton and Bill Bruford approached him to re-form KC with Eddie Jobson. He declined and they picked up Alan Holdsworth to form UK. His point was to highlight his contribution [or hold-back] and show where personal choices took him & the band. Given the music, I think the slight change in direction is pretty obvious.
Of course, the personnel changes make even more sense in the context of what you mentioned. Wakeman drops out. They both know Eddie from the overdub work on USA. Who's the other obvious choice for a guitarist from those three?
I can't tell you how much I'd love to get my hands on those demos with Rick.
