there is a little technicality that I would like to discuss. the albums "Feels Good to Me", "One of a Kind", "Gradually Going Tornado", "The Bruford Tapes" and "Rock Goes to College" are filed in the archives under "Bruford, Bill". the album covers do however not indicate that at all; the given artist name is just "Bruford". I therefore suggest that those albums are filed accordingly, just as the albums of Greenslade are not filed under "Greenslade, Dave". the albums were apparently not meant to be solo albums but rather albums of a band that just happened to be named after the family name of the drummer -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

Bruford was supposed to be a band. As far as I know. And you're correct that the albumsleeve shows just Bruford.

Bruford is a band !! Bill Bruford is a solo artist. Feels Good To Me is a BB solo album. Gradually Going Tornado (and others) are by the band named Bruford !! |

nowhere does it say "Bill Bruford" as artist name on the sleeve of "Feels Good to Me". the name only appears in the line-up of the band  ------------- A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival. Ceterum censeo principiis obsta |

How about changing it to Bill?  Goes well with some other bands already featured here, like fx Ben and Fred. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

While there does seem to be a stylistic difference between the "Bruford" band's music and Bill's other albums, the collection EG released when CDs were still a new thing has all "Bruford" tracks, but is clearly labeled "Bill Bruford". Is he gargling while playing? ETA: Oops. There are some Bruford & Moraz tracks on the collection. ------------- Trust me. I know what I'm doing. |

I wish Nah I just found this picture somewhere over the net and was truly captivated by how mad it is. Semi-naked kid playing what looks like metal, adults looking wholly inebriated (booze and wine on the table) - plus someone about to take the plunge into the floor. Marvellous! ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

I just noticed for the first time the BBs Earthworks has a separate listing from his Feels Good...- Gradually GT era. That being the case, PA's entry for those three albums should be listed as "Bruford". ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow">  https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

I wonder who needs saving....the kid or the adults?? Anyhow, I'll let my mind think it is a family pic of you during a New Years Eve bash, it's either 11:58PM or 12:05AM -------------

I referred to the spine of the LP, and it states Bill Bruford. Haven't pulled it out for a long, long time so I forgot.........
