This is an awesome cover of King Crimson's Cat Food! Can't understand
the vocals? Don't blame it on the Japanese vocalist! The studio version
as sung by Greg Lake and subsequent live versions sung by John Wetton
are almost as unintelligable.

Benisyoga - A Japanese Band Covers King Crimson's Cat Food
Heavy Metal Workshop Tokyo Plays Larks' Tongues in Aspic Part 2
This is a cool rendition of the classic King Crimson tune. HMWT has
other videos where there are just the 2 people playing piano that are
quite good as well.
Basslines - Was Asia Inspired by Simple Minds?
I tried to get David Gallant (former webmaster of the Official Asia site before the reunion) to hear a similarity in the bass lines between Asia's Cutting It Fine and Simple Minds' Changeling 8 years ago and failed. Gallant also wrote and published a biography of Asia.
Well, let's see if you're more perceptive than Gallant in hearing the similarity between these 2 songs. Listen to Cutting It Fine at 1:22. Then, listen to Changeling at 0:17. As for who might have copied who . . . Changeling appeared on Simple Minds' album Reel to Real Cacophony released in 1979. Cutting It Fine appears on Asia's debut album released in 1982.
