Prophet Q... and D'Archangel were, along with some others like Che Banana, Edward's nicknames on the Legendary Pink Dots albums. His solo records were all released under the name Edward Ka-Sepel or Kaspel

"Love and Loud Colors" is just a book of lyrics from his songs, not simply poems.

I wonder if the portion that describes his tastes as "70s psychedelia and Radiohead" should be removed. I think whoever wrote that misinterpreted what he said. Ka-Spel was saying that he listened to the music that was so close to him during the 70s; he wasn't talking about 70s music. He doesn't even specify psychedelia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.73.73.116 (talk) 23:48, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder the same about the description about "Radiohead" as his musical taste. That remark comes from a very old interview of about 1998 and might be misleading, read in 2008. Recently Edward Ka-Spel remarked about his musical taste: "I have a soft spot for a lot of prog-rock. King Crimson changed my life. Peter Hammill and Van der Graaf Generator sound as great to me today as they did in my tender years." You can find this sentence at this link: http://www.csindy.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A31305. Well, indeed he listened much to lots of Prog-Rock, which indeed was listened to much also in "the seventies". I am not sure if "Radiohead" should be mentioned specifically - it would be better to name the musicians Ka-Spel himself mentioned in his interview in 2008 as really important. King Crimson changed his life, and Hammill and Van der Graaf-Generator is what he likes much... all the best, signed: Klemperer85. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Klemperer85 (talk • contribs) 16:01, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As for Radiohead, he specifically mentions that he likes Radiohead in the 2007 interview currently cited in the article (interview). He refers to liking them in regards to the release of In Rainbows, Radiohead's most recent release. --Stomme (talk) 07:51, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The bands he has told me that he likes are Gong, Can, Amon-Duul II, Faust, Neu!, Brainticket, PFM, Van Der Graff Generator/Peter Hammill, Radiohead, Mozart, Pink Floyd, Miranda Sex Garden, Tortoise, Magma, Sun-Ra, Peter-Gabriel-era-Genesis, King Crimson, Kate Bush, The Butthole Surfers, Tuxedo Moon, Deep Fried Mice, Laurie Anderson, Velvet Underground, lots of the bands from this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurse_with_Wound_list , and contemporaries like Coil, Nurse With Wound, Current 93, and Tony Wakeford. This is a personal reflection though mirrored in extant interviews. signed - Madprophet 70.147.242.234 (talk) 07:23, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
