Never liked Danger Money. But then I'm a big Holdsworth fan.
Just listened to UK tonight and focused on JW's parts. His vocal intro on 30 Years is absolutely haunting.

	I love Danger Money - Carrying No Cross is fantastic.

	^ Except the UK project had nothing to do with Crimson, in fact it sounds intentionally redirected and non-Crmsonian. And the live releases are hit & miss, generally disappointing unless you're already a big fan.

	I got some UK because of my love for King Crimson (including ofcourse the Wetton era) and the high praise I have read for the debut. However, I'm afraid I ended up greatly dissapointed. First I got the Live in Boston album, which also includes a few songs from Danger Money, but with the original line-up, then I thought to give it another chance and got the first one... but still it didn't do much for me. There's indeed some music I like and enjoy, but nothing close to the greatness of King Crimson.

	Difficult-- the first was fairly innovative but the second has a better mix and generally better material. Next time you could put a thread like this in Prog Polls and get both discussion and votes.

	Thought this would be an appropriate time to bring up this debate. I lean towards Danger Money myself, but by a hair. Close to dead even for me, really.
