Musician and composer Michael Mantler recorded two albums with Don Preston. The first one, in 1985, was called "Alien". The second one was a registration of a concert at the Art-Rock Festival in Frankfurt, Germany. Mantler was asked to participate in this festival, and formed a group with Nick Mason, Jack Bruce, Rick Fenn, Don Preston and John Greaves. This resulted in "Live", and got released the same year, in 1987.

In 1996, Michael Mantler recorded "The School Of Understanding", subtitled "sort of an opera", and that's probably the best description that one can get. Among the participating artists, we find Jack Bruce, Robert Wyatt, and, again, Don Preston.

The picture on the right is taken from the "Alien" album. It shows Don Preston and Michael Mantler.
