Though the studio albums do sound better, 'The Bruford Tapes' is a magnificent performance by a great
outfit. At their peak, Bruford's boys put on a great presentation of many favorites and simply cook all
night at the kind of event one wishes they had witnessed. Another thing I really enjoyed is Bruford's
method of arranging and playing his music, i.e. we get to hear him "test" songs which is a fascinating
peek into his system of composition. In addition, this has to be one of the finest ensembles in prog
history and the 'Unknown' John Clark (who was recommended to Bruford by Holdsworth himself when
Allan couldn't do this tour) pulls off the best AH impression on record. If you can tolerate the radio
broadcast sound of this CD (EG 1979) you shant be disappointed. I give it four stars here but it probably
deserves five.
