The reissue of “Heavenly Bodies” expands on its original, single-disc release by taking the ensemble’s timeline to the limit, to include numbers from the group’s every album but, above all, highlights the creative consistency of BB’s band.
BRUFORD in the late ’70s and EARTHWORKS in the next two decades outlined a new standard for elegiac unpredictability and turned into a breeding ground for such significant talents as, respectively, Jeff Berlin and Django Bates, the latter collective’s adventurousness lasting longer and appearing more palatable to public taste – at least in the aural image projected by this anthology. The beat master’s well-grounded, but often celestial, oeuvre gets an anthology treatment to tease the unitiated.ĭespite his soild prog credentials, Bill Bruford has never been a rock drummer per se, and that’s what made the British artist’s recordings with YES and KING CRIMSON so special, his jazz perspective enriching artsy leanings of the legendary trend-setters yet, once out of U.K., the veteran proved to be an institution unto himself.
