Cartsten Bohn the drummer of Frumpy and Carsten Bohns Bandstand composed hundred of
pieces of Background music for children audio dramas tapes.
 
Every child in Germany had some of those in the 70s/80s. And they are still famous here
and still sold on tapes.

Robert Fripp played on a Daryl Hall album. Other than that I can't really think of specific albums off the top of my head.

Edit: Oh yeah, the members of Yes played on an album by jazz musician Eddie Henderson back in the mid 70's or so.

I was surprised to find Bruford randomly appeared on a partially narrated album based on "Peter and the Wolf" with a number of other proggers, but only contributed a few snare hits to one track.

Also Robert Fripp randomly produced two albums by Irish vocal trio "The Roches" (I have one and it's pretty good - he adds a few nice guitar parts to several tracks).

The Roaches are an American group--specifcially I think New Jersey not Ireland. I know some of them.

not sure if that was a joke but this is the trio I was referring to lol

I stand corrected. It was Eddie Harris not Henderson and it was Alan White, Chris Squire and Tony Kaye who played on a few tracks on his E.H. in the UK album(which has rather poor ratings and reviews). Ian Paice, Boz Burrel and Jeff Beck(among others)also appear on the album.

Laurie Wisefield of Wishbone Ash-fame became the touring-guitarist for Tina Turner.

Chuck Leavell of Allman Brothers and Sea Level-fame became a Rolling Stones-member.

Ken Hensley of Uriah Heep did a few albums with southern-native-american-rockband Blackfoot.

Genesis-singer Ray Wilson sang with eurotrance-dj Armin van Buuren (or at least appeared on some songs produced by Armin van Buuren).

Ian McDonald of King Crimson-fame was one of the founding members of poprock-group Foreigner (great band, but far from prog, I guess).

And check out the 550+ albums that Mel Collins (King Crimson, Cirkus, Camel, etc.) played on: https://www.discogs.com/artist/18160-Mel-Collins?filter_anv=0&type=Credits

Speaking of Tina Turner, her one time keyboardist and saxophonist, Tim Cappello, played on the first two Peter Gabriel albums. I actually saw her in 1995 and remember that guy specifically because I thought it was unusual that someone who is an obvious body builder could be such a talented musician. Anyway, I also noticed that one of Tina's albums featured Trevor Rabin on guitars(and had a few tracks produced by that other Trevor).

Armin just mixed one of Ray's songs (Another Day). Ray did the video with the DJ.

^Wow, I didn't know she was on any of his albums.

Anyway, I think the weirdest combination I can think of is Brian Eno appearing on Paul Simon's Surprise album. Was Eno supposed to be the surprise? LOL Very good album regardless though.

It's 3 sisters from New Jersey The Roches--(spelled it wrong) -known for their harmony--one is dead one is still touring with her daughter---shes the one I know---she had a child with Louden Wainwright III---the group has several good albums including a great Xmas album.

The Roches were folk/folk rock. I listened to a bit of them on youtube but don't really remember much about them. Not bad I suppose. Anyway, kind of uncharacteristic for Fripp but then again he jumped off the prog band wagon when it seemed like everyone else did for a while so it probably wasn't that much of a surprise either. He even eventually wound up marrying a woman who was much more of a new waver than a progger.

Billy Sherwood on a William Shatner album was fairly weird!

True, but in this case it's almost difficult to know which one is contributing more to the weird factor. LOL Shatner is weird. We already know that.
