What mid-1970's band did Bill Bruford play with as a session man before touring with Genesis? Name of band & album & no cheating!

Yes, they released some great stuff but I don't like their last studio album : DS al coda (except for the guitar instrumental), a tribute to Alan Gowen. The electronic drums don't fit well to their music.

Bruford did session work with many different bands during that time: Rick Wakeman, Steve Howe, National Health, Chris Squire, Flash Fearless and the Zorg Women, Roy Harper, Absolute Elsewhere and Pavlov's Dog. Which one are you wondering about?

Have you heard "Go Between" with the New Percussion Group of Amsterdam?  An all percussion orchestra. Some incredible playing, but nearly impossible to listen to at one time, too much "bang the drum". The Moraz Bruford albums are among my favorite BB works. The only one I couldn't find was "Tokyo Installation" from Akira Inoue. At one time, I think I owned everything Bill played on, all LP's, long gone.....

Wasn't it something like Andromeda - I bought and sold it quickly. And didn't Bruford recipocated for Annette Peacock's appearance on "Feels Good To Me" by appearing on one of her solo albums "X-Dreams"?
