Our Take

Ah, Bill Bruford, the man, the myth, the legend. Known for his iconic drumming with prog rock giants Yes and King Crimson, Bruford delivers a delightful surprise with his solo album "Double Time."

From the moment the groovy bassline kicks in on the opening track 'Hell's Bells,' you know you're in for a wild ride. Bruford's drumming is as tight as ever, showcasing his mastery of odd time signatures and intricate rhythms. Each track is like a mini drumming masterclass, with Bruford effortlessly blending jazz, funk, and rock influences into a cohesive and exhilarating sound.

The standout track 'The Abingdon Chasp' is a tour de force of Bruford's drumming prowess, with complex polyrhythms and thunderous fills that will leave you breathless. The frenetic energy of 'Travels With Myself - And Someone Else' is a rollercoaster ride of twists and turns, with Bruford's lightning-fast drumming driving the track to dizzying heights.

Overall, "Double Time" is a testament to Bruford's enduring talent and innovation as a musician. It's a must-listen for fans of progressive rock, jazz fusion, and anyone who appreciates truly exceptional drumming. So sit back, relax, and let Bill Bruford take you on a musical journey like no other.
