DM is amazing. They basically showed ELP what they could have been doing at the time, but weren't. One of the best keyboard-trio-prog records I've heard. RIP John.

Love the debut. Love Bruford but...
Danger Money is just a better album. More energy and less fluff.

^ Why does the inner sleeve to One Of A Kind state Jeff Berlin as The Bass and The Vocals, when it’s an instrumental album (apart from uncredited Northettes aaahs on the opening track) ???
Oh yeah, I saw a Bozzio gig in the early 90’s - totally exhilarating  Edited by Tom Ozric - May 07 2018 at 02:04 |

I saw UK when they hit Seattle a some years back, feel blessed to have seen John Wetton before he passed. Shortly after I saw Terry perform at the same venue, just him and his drum set. Amazing stuff. I voted for Danger Money. But put DM against One of a Kind and its going to lose every time.

They were uniquely cold and streamlined, especially for prog at that time. I think that was both their appeal and shortcoming. More of a musicians' band, perhaps. |

Both great, both different. I will say Concert Classics vol.4 is superior to Night After Night .

Danger Money eats the debut IMO. These days I'd even put Bozzio (just) over Bruford [shocked face]

Neither do I. The melodies just don't give me much to enjoy. |

I like both, but Danger Money is a long time favourite, so the Bozzio line-up gets the edge.

Both studio albums are great but I went for the second one as the keyboard lead trio format is quiet appealing to me! The first album could perhaps have done with being a bit punchier sound wise but that's maybe my only small criticism. Oft considered the last hurrah for seventies prog. Pity they got caught by the changing scene and also a certain amount of in fighting between Wetton and Jobson. Jobson must be the most underutilised and underappreciated musician in prog. A brilliant keyboard and violinist. The stuff he did with Curved Air was also brilliant but was else is there apart from a few solo outings and being a fringe member of Roxy? |

Allan Holdsworth made the original lineup really special for me.
