Robert Fripp used a clip of J.G. Bennett, one of his spiritual influences at the time, as part of the piece "Water Music II" on his 1979 solo album Exposure.(It appropriately leads into the album's version of Peter Gabriel's "Here Comes the Flood.") Bennett talks about a coming ice age being predicted by scientists, but also mentions the sea level rising as a result of that coming ice age, which would flood many costal areas. He also talks about this happening perhaps as early as 40 years in the future.

Fripp broke up King Crimson in 1974 when he became convinced the world was about to end, or at the very least the current system as we knew it was about to implode.
