Any Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come Fans Here?

Name any other album where it features, and I'll happily scorn it with the fury of a thousand mothers. On Journey though it works wonders for me and gives to the proceedings a dangerous yet kitschy feel. Oh and talking of collaborative efforts then what about the stuff he did with Klaus Schulze, Michael Shrieve and Vincent Crane in 79 - back when Schulze didn't want to be Schulze and released this baby called Time Actor under the pseudonym of Richard Wahnfried?

I just got Time Actor in the mail yesterday!  I've heard the first half and it's weirdly cool.

I also just got Strangelands yesterday too, though I'll be listening to that later today.

While I'm here, I'd also like to voice my "yay" for Arthur Brown's early 80s synth albums "Speak No Tech" and "Requiem", which are now available together as a 2 disc set.  Once again Arthur was on the cutting edge of new technology and seems to have had fun experimenting on these, while creating some groovy tunes as well.
