BRUFORD: GRADUALLY GOING TORNADO

One of really interesting Bruford albums. First of all, the style is pure fusion ( as it was on his previous solo albums). One of leading instruments is bass, and Jeff Berlin is perfect fusion guitarist. Just listen to bas driven "Joe Frazier"!

Total album's sound is heavy fusion, and in places remind me UK albums. How I understand from reviews, main problem for some listeners is Berlin vocal ( he is lead vocalist there). For me his voice is absolutely acceptable, even pleasant. It give some specific atmospher to all music. But even without that, musicoans are of highest class, and music also. Bruford drumming is not a main accent of this recording, but is competent. Stewart uses heavy synth, which gave to all music characteristic sound of that time.

I believe, that this album is one of strongest Bruford solo work. It consists of heavy fusion with rock elements, and should attract everyone, who likes UK music.
