| On a live version of 'Easy money' where just before the mellow section he goes nuts and does this insane fill that does NOT fit the first time you hear it, then after a couple of listens you can't wait to get to that part of the song!!! |

| OMG, of Bill Brudford? There are hundreds of them! Probably "One more red nightmare" intro riff & drums section, but the following also. Also "indsicipline"... And many more of his KC work (I don't like his Yes-era that much) |

I love the drums in Heart Of The Sunrise, at the beginning, where all the instruments accumulate and the tension is mounting. Well, you know what I mean... In hope  . Bill is doing great things with his drums.

My top 10 BB moments: 1.The section of Heart of the Sunrise after the opening part, when all the instruments come out and Chris Squire's bass introduces the big build up back to the opening riff with those 8 notes. On the 8th one BB hits the downbeat, and that my friends is THE FUNKIEST MOMENT IN ALL OF PROG. The groove that commences there is about as funky as spotty white boys can get whilst still remaining true to their nerdy, esoterically prog values. 2. In the KC improv on SaBB called We'll Let You Know, the way he implies the funk without really hitting the one, and then releases all the tension with that batteriing-ram snare fill and exploding crash. 3.The cascading electro-toms riff that introduces Indiscipline, and the inside/outside playing he does in the subsequent parts of that song where Belew is talking. 4. The slit-drum part that is the constant pulse of the 8+ minutes of boundless, transcendent ecstasy known as The Sheltering Sky. 5. The beautiful doubling of the melodic line on tuned percussion in the fanfare section of Fracture. 6. The simultaneous ferocity and sympathy exhibited on the KC improv from USA called Asbury Park, especially the way the pocket he and Wetton establish enables Fripp to go to that screaming, special place. 7. The drum duet with Phil Collins on the Seconds Out version of The Cinema Show. 8. The awesome start-stop riff he plays in the head of the Bruford/Moraz tune Split Seconds. 9.The slammin' phat backing he provides on my all-time favorite Gong song, You Can't Kill Me, from the bootleg of Rotterdam, Holland, 7 Dec 1974. 10. The total, perfect, and utterly necessary silence he contributes to what is perhaps the greatest KC improv, Trio from SaBB, proving once and for all that it ain't what you play, it's what you have the sense and the taste not to. Admirable restraint, indeed. There are many more, but let's leave it at that and say that if the last sound I hear on Earth is the distinctive, instantly recognizable thud of BB's snare, then I shall have died a happy man. ------------- "Some of you are going to die... martyrs, of course, to the Freedom I will provide!" |

Be glad you weren't around in the 70's. It wasn't the prog utopea you dream of. If you were living then, you'd be complaining that those around you would be listening to stuff like Donny and Marie, The Bay City Rollers, Leaf Garret and Shaun Cassidy. (I suspect you might have to run an internet search for some of those names.) Or you'd be in the middle of the punk movement, not that that in itself would be bad but part of punk came from the economic situation of the time. Sure, there was a lot of prog but it was called "art rock" back then. Most who listened to it didn't really apreciate it for it's musical qualities, other than it was "cool to listen to while you're stoned". Oh, and my favourite Bruford moment (it constantly changes) is his work on Tony Levin's World Diary cd. ------------- "they locked up a man who wanted to rule the world. the fools they locked up the wrong man." - Leonard Cohen |

I'll second "One More Red Nightmare". Bruford is incredible on that track.
Also, his Live solos with Tony Levin during KC and ABWH shows. ------------- Trust me. I know what I'm doing. |
