What Are You Listening To?

[Jerome]

from my library (vinyl)



Actually a side project for drummer Bill Bruford, who has served time with Yes, King Crimson,
Roy Harper, and on tour with Genesis. Original drummer for Yes, whom he left to join King
Crimson. Also has done session work with many big names. He had three albums with the group
known as Bruford, this being the last of those. Not very good for me, as half of the tracks are
instrumental. You can hear some Yes influence on some tracks. On the vocal tracks, that chore
goes to Jeff Berlin, who does a decent job. I guess Bill doesn't sing. Nothing I love on here,
and four I don't like at all, so the albums a bomb for me. Wiki says this album is considered
among one of the best albums in the progressive rock/fusion genre, so maybe Jerome knows about
it.

Never heard of this one MH so can't help here. I have one of his albums - a live session - it's OK, but this is really an album to showcase his drumming. I get bored with his stuff pretty quickly. Don't know why because the muscianship is outstanding, but it just does not seem to hold my attention for too long.
