** The whole Wetton, Cross and Bruford line-up could be considered this. After the complete personnel turnover from "Islands" to "Larks' Tongues in Aspic", the band metamorphosed from a lush, symphonic prog band into almost a metal group. ''Starless and Bible Black'' is probably every bit as edgy as ''Red'' but just not quite as heavy.

It appears that Robert Fripp finds the inclusion of a title track vitally important. The most amusing example of this is the album ''Starless and Bible Black''--although they had begun writing a song whose chorus included the titular phrase, it was eventually rejected from the album, and a live improv was just added in its place and titled "Starless and Bible Black". The originally intended title track made its way onto ''Red'', where it was entitled just "Starless"
