Bruford OZ White Label test Press LP Gradually going tornado EX King Crimson
Rare OZ White Label test press LP released in 1980 on Polydor Records. Cat: 2311011.This is intelligent fusion intricately crafted, high energy, and technically impressive. Bill Bruford has distinguished himself from the majority of rock musicians with a consistent drive to experiment and challenge himself artistically. He composes innovative tunes with subtle rhythmic twists, often in odd meters, and his drumming is always musical and very precise. This is the third studio release of the fusion group that he assembled in 1977. Gradually Going Tornado attempted to further streamline the group's approach and introduced the vocal work of the brilliant electric bassist Jeff Berlin (heavily influenced by Jack Bruce and Jaco Pastorius). There are four relatively short vocal pieces that, presumably, were designed to add some commercial appeal to the recording. The departure of guitarist Allan Holdsworth is felt; his replacement, John Clark, was brought in to mimic the sound and feel of Holdsworth's playing, and the result is a bit disappointing. Though a masterful technician, Clark sounds too much like a Holdsworth clone. Dave Stewart, formerly of Egg, Hatfield and the North, and National Health, is a wonderfully creative musician and plays a pivotal role in refining the group effort.
