    Nice indeed!

    Thanks, Minsk.

    I like that she sings without any diva affectation. And if that's here playing flute, god damn.
    For that which is not,
    there is no coming into being
    and for that which is,
    there is no ceasing to be;
    yea of both of these the lookers into truth have seen an end.

    I believe that flute is actually her main instrument and the first one she mastered. Please correct me if I'm wrong, Minsk.

    OMG! What a superb cover. This young multi-genre, multi-instrumentalist continues to amaze. I've listened to all of her music on the web from various audio/video sources, and IMO she is so strong playing in the prog genre. Her cover on this offering of the Wetton/Bruford rhythm section seems as if she has empowered Wetton's beautiful bass attacks, along with channeling Bruford's style perfectly, perhaps better than most drummers can. Then the Fripp guitar chaos-madness in the end section? Holy Mother of God! I love Rachel's gift as a musician, I just wish she could be part of a super-prog group. Wow!!!!

    Piano was her first instrument and then she learned flute later. At about the 4 minute mark.


    Then piano and flute at the same time

    Just listened...

    Truthfully, from my heart, I enjoyed this version more than the version currently performed by the official Octet.

    Thank you for posting.
