Car Caught Fire, by The Bears (2001): The Bears originally formed in 1985, between Adrian Belew's first stint with King Crimson and his successful solo album Mr. Music Head. The band broke up when the label disintegrated. The band reunited in the late 90s and produced this album and a follow-up live album and DVD. The band's forte is catchy yet quirky power-pop, infused by Belew's signature guitar work. It's a testament to the band's talents that Belew's solos should sound out of place, but don't (nor does Robert Fripp's appearance on one track). Very cool stuff.
