I guess it makes sense. Sylvian's style is barely suited to their collaborative album; I imagine if he were to be in KC, everything would have taken a major diversion toward "The Sheltering Sky" sorts of things. Given that the '90s KC lineup RF made afterward was so hellbent on metal - or maybe that was just Fripp himself, considering how much of The First Day is hard rock-based - it seems to be an impossible KC formation.

Still, I wish they made more records together!
