Adrian Belew: Desire of the Rhino King. Adrian Belew is a neat guy. After gaining recognition working for folks like Frank Zappa, David Bowie, and the Talking Heads, Belew launched a long term career as front man and leading light of King Crimson. He's also a prolific solo artist. Desire of the Rhino King is a compilation of material taken from Belew's first three solo albums. The first two thirds are seriously off kilter pop tunes. They all have their moments, but "Addidas in Heat", "The Rail Song", and "The Perfect Woman" are favorites. The last third of the disc, taken from the album Desire Caught By the Tail, are instrumental solo guitar (and percussion) tunes. More "prog" than the rest, they're equally good.
