About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Drummer Bill Bruford made a name for himself in the '70s as a rock & roller with a prog rock bent. In the '80s he formed the rather extraordinary jazz fusion band that became Bill Bruford's Earthworks -- Bruford, saxophonist Iain Ballamy, keyboard and brass virtuoso Django Bates, and bassist Mick Hutton. Earthworks was their first album, and an interesting one it was, though a later, live recording of the band presented some of the same material in a more highly developed state, rendering this original somewhat irrelevant. Bruford is a stiff-wristed player -- not a particularly subtle percussionist -- though his compositional skills are apparently of a high quality (most of the tunes are co-written with other bandmembers, so it's hard to know how much credit to give Bruford). The best thing about this band is its refreshing ingenuousness; they make intelligent, sophisticated instrumental pop music that doesn't pander in the least. This is their art, and a fine art it is. [This version of the album contains bonus material.] Chris Kelsey, All Music Guide
