Since most of the easier ones were already gotten ...

1)
* Dave Anderson was in Amon Duül II before being in Hawkwind
* Renate Knaup was Amon Duül II's lead singer, and later sang for Popol Vuh
* Florian Fricke of Popol Vuh played on TD's 'Zeit' album (and, I believe,
sold his Moog modular to TD when Popol Vuh "went acoustic")

2)
* Brian Eno produced and/or played on Calvert's 'Capt. Lockheed' & 'Lucky
Leif' (and Paul Rudolph played on several of his solo albums)
* Brian Eno recorded two albums with Cluster
* Conrad Schnitzler played on the first two Cluster (as 'Kluster') albums
* Conrad Schnitzler played on the first Tangerine Dream album

>Mike Oldfield- but you need at least three different ways...

1)
* Oldfield & Eno (see above) are both on the 'June 1, 1974' live album

2)
* Oldfield played in Kevin Ayers' band for several years
* Kevin Ayers was in the Soft Machine (and, briefly, Gong) with Daevid Allen
* Tim Blake was in Gong with Daevid Allen

3)
* Steve Broughton played drums on 'Tubular Bells'
* Victor Unitt was one of the guitarists in the Edgar Broughton Band
* Victor Unitt replaced Dick Taylor in the Pretty Things
* Dick Taylor produced (and may have played on) the first Hawkwind album
(alternatively, Steve Broughton played drums on the "Nuclear Waste" single
with Nik Turner)

>Whitney Houston!

I'll have to get back to you on this one ... ;^)
