BRUFORD: GRADUALLY GOING TORNADO

This record is fusion. The musicians involved are very talented: Bill BRUFORD on drums, Jeff Berlin on bass, Dave Stewart on keyboards. Stewart's keyboards give this record a slightly urban style, even sounding sometimes like WEATHER REPORT!!! Sometimes, the tracks may be experimental and a little dark, reminding some KING CRIMSON influences. Jeff Berlin's bass is, as always, outstanding, loud and complex. He is the lead singer, and the songs may be surprisingly accessible because of his friendly voice. The guitarist is quite respectable. The songs are very good for the genre, and not extremely sophisticated.
