BRUFORD: ONE OF A KIND

After FEELS GOOD TO ME, this album originally felt like a bit of a letdown (no special guests - no Peacock, no Wheeler - just Bill's own quartet; and fewer 'funky' pieces), but through the years I have gradually come to appreciate its qualities.

Since its praises have already been sung by so many people on this website (and rightly so!) let me just add that ONE OF A KIND will be more accessible to the average prog-rock lover than its predecessor, because of its many moments of symphonic grandeur, so typically British in feel. (Think of the 'orchestral' bits from King Crimson's EPITAPH, Yes's AND YOU AND I or Peter Gabriel's HUMDRUM).
