This Sunday Music Muse Day finds me presenting an similiar artist, and a totally unknown group. First up is Bill Bruford Earthworks. This is the drummer's post Yes, King Crimson, and solo outing group minus a gutiar player. This 2 CD set is taken from live recording dates from 2001. It's nice collection of driving ensemble playing and thoughtful group interaction. Worth a listen.
My second selection is totally new to me, and honestly I picked it purely on the cover art. It reminds me of the Transformer designs. The Hypontic Brass Ensemble Bu;;etproof Brass. Just by instrumentation a brass band is not a favorite of mine. First impression is, it's not bad, but the overall feel is of a hip hop-space marching band for a college. That maybe from the spoken vocal by Sun-Ra on one cut. I think they need more variety in the beat.
