' One answer is their credi bility as music theorists. They are the luminaries of modern rhythmic pop. But now add Frank Zappa to this constellation of stars and again ask, "What do they have in common?" The answer is all have used Adrian Belew on their recent albums. As the list of employers indicates, Belew is the guitar virtuoso of the discriminating artist. As a journeyman, Belew learned his trade from the best and soon could match even Byrne and Fripp lick for lick. Now, he is a master, a luminary too brilliant to remain in the umbrage of his teachers. In short, he has his first solo album out, "The Lone Rhinoceros." It is fine. mm '0 Album Review 148 N. 48th 464-7777 Just North of Alpha Fitness BIG PERM SPECIAL OS SPECIALS n - " WA LIEU VERONICA CAflTWRlGHT HARRYWANTOJ JC HURT IAN HOLW-.YAPHETK0TT02-.. fgj Don't miss this weeks KFMQ FRIDAY MIDNIGHT MOVIE at the Stuart Theatre!

What is unexpected is Belew's abil ity on drums (there is a hell of a lot of it) and at songwriting (there are songs that are truly memorable and songs that are truly mesmerizing).

Homage is paid to all the teachers, whose influences are understandably lasting. Too much due perhaps is given to Zappa, the odd ball out of the list. His swarthy silliness would seem to be at odds with the meticulous modulations of the ByrneEnoFripp school - except that Belew does melt them together with surprising effect.

Even those songs arerPt as put-offish as they first sound. More pertinantly, a song like "Big Electric Cat" is so catchy on first hearing that it justifies the album over the short run, while a song like "The Lone Rhinoceros" (or "The Momur," "Naive Gui tar," etc. justifies it over the short-run.
