		Bruford's stuff has Actual melodies -- hummable, even -- and is probably the only fusion album I've heard that will leave its songs stuck in your head.
		Bruford's compositional skills are also assured -- you never get the impression, as you might with many jazz-rock pieces, that a passage is included just to show instrumental virtuosity.
		Bruford is such a generous musician, this record is not built around his drumming for the sake of him showing off, it is a collective effort.

		Bill Bruford and his band are extremely friendly and always take the time to have a chat after the show and sign albums - much of these are available on sale at affordable prices at the gig (unlike the rip-off Yes merchandise).
		Bill Bruford IS in a group with musicians of the same stature as himself and, what's more, Earthworks is not (and never intended to be) a stadium band.

	BBC - Jazz Review - Bill Bruford's Earthworks, Footloose and Fancy Free
		Bruford's writing is full of sharp turns and dynamic shifts characteristic of much US fusion, but the lack of electronics lends the music an airy, expansive feel.
		Predictably, Bill's handling of odd meters is seamless and unforced; his 11/8 swings as hard as his 4/4, while the juicy funk of "Original Sin" showcases the leader's generation of advanced propulsion capability.
		Bruford is a musician's musician that inspires while he amazes not only with his technical wizardry, but with his equal ability to compose and perform with real sensitivity.

		To some, the tune is a self-mocking look at an unfashionable band with an almost 30-year legacy reuniting in the face of today’s throbbing electronica pulse and post-grunge angst.
		The odd thing is Bruford and Fripp are the only current members of the band.
		And when you’re talking at that level, the idea of any cultural dream as a nation, society or collective with stories that need to be passed down to children goes out the window.

		Bruford reactivated the band last year when it became clear that the current Crimson had run its course.
		Having left the lucrative drummer's seat in Yes for the altogether less predictable King Crimson in 1973, Bruford was disappointed, to put it mildly, when Fripp called the whole thing to a halt two years later, just as the band was on the verge of breaking through in the American market.
		Given the experimental nature of much of Bruford's music in the 90s it's hard to imagine he was once part of the stentorian prog rockers Yes.

		Bruford's endless guest appearances are detailed on the Bill Bruford web site; fans should also note that Bruford was a founding member of Yes and appears on many of their albums.
		After this, Fripp, Bruford, and Wetton all continued to make solo and supergroup records; Fripp probably kept the highest profile by collaborating with Brian Eno, Peter Gabriel, Darryl Hall, and David Bowie.
		By now Bruford and Holdsworth were both gone, so they recruit drummer Terry Bozzio (who had just left the Frank Zappa band), and apparently focus on Jobson's keyboard and violin playing instead of trying to find a high-powered guitarist.

		Bill Bruford's drumming was solid and much to the fore in a set that featured mainly his compositions.

		Throughout Bill Bruford was relaxed and totally in control, a gifted musician versatile and talented enough to play jazz in low key venues whilst earning a handsome living in the premier division of rock.

		Teetering between macabre and buoyant, the boys in Bruford/Levin - drummer Bruford, Stickbassist Levin, trumpeter Chris Botti and Ryuichi Sakamoto/David Sylvian guitarist David Torn—make joyful hay of avant-prog rock.
		Utilizing the looped guitar menace they practice with King Crimson, Bruford, Levin and Torn (substituting for Robert Fripp) blossom into seismic mood swings.
		On "Cerulean Sea" and "Cobalt Canyons" they follow the Crimson way with Bruford shifting from militaristic precision to cross-cut polyrhythms and Torn angrily tearing the ass out of his guitar.
