5 stars This is most consistently the best of the Bruford fusion albums. From a prog perspective, this album is heavy prog infused fusion from start to finish. And thankfully, the only vocals are a spoken word section introducing the song "Fainting In Coils".

All four musicians here are at their absolute best. Bruford plays with intricate precision, Berlin just amazes me with his bass magic, Stewart seems to have stepped up his performance, and the incredible Mr. Holdsworth appears to be able to play perfect guitar solos over anything.

The songs here are nearly all hard electric fusion, with swirling time signatures and complex chordal construction. It's is difficult to choose favorites here, because I love so many of them.

Evolver | 5/5 |
