[Gizmotron]

Ok, now we can see how it looks and what's on the inside:

I want it.

Dang!
I really, really want it!

Not exactly inexpensive though, is it?

[interbellum]

Wow, great. Although it would have been perfect with a live-recording with Holdsworth.
Very curious about that fourth album.

[interbellum]

In 1980, Bruford and Berlin played with Boston-based guitarists Randy Roos and Mick Goodrick. It would be nice if there were recordings of that.

Great interview and very related to this box, like this piece:

[Song playing in the bar is Travels With Myself, near the end.]

BB: Can I interrupt for a second?

RR: Sure.

BB: A brief listen to Allan [Holdsworth] on this.

RR: Why did you fade this out?

BB: I know. It was just going! No more space on the LP.

RR: Really? I love this whole thing. Yes, that's nice.

BB: Yes.

RR: This lick coming up here....

BB: [Laughs] That one's a killer! [To interviewers] Sorry.

RR: That's too bad. What happened next? You always wonder. You must have had about ten minutes more, right?

BB: Yeah, it went on for awhile, yes.

This would be a great way to announce that he's coming out of retirement.

Thanks for sharing the info about the Bruford Box Set. It's real tempting to say the least (especially since they have 5.1 mixes of Feels Good To Me& One Of A Kind).

[Dave (in MA)]

OOAK in 5.1 is like a musical holy grail!

[philsunset]

Take my money please.

[Dave (in MA)]

Dang!
I really, really want it!

Not exactly inexpensive though, is it?

For comparison purposes, it's roughly the same price as the Miles Davis Seven Steps box that's 7 CDs, and this is 8 discs including 2 DVD-A discs.

[zorknapp]

Autobuy. Already pre-ordered.

[philsunset]

It's a no-brainer. Pre-ordered.

[Dave (in MA)]

Imagine 5.1s of Feels Good to Me and One of a Kind.
Probably too much to hope for.

Heh.

now the question is, what kind of special player do I need to play DVD-A discs?!?!!!!!!!!!

[taliesin]

Dammit there goes my spending money from my next paycheque.

My DVD drive in my laptop works, as does my inexpensive BluRay player that I got at least 7 years ago.

I can't really afford it but I'm definitely going to get it. One Of A Kind is still in my top 5 after all these years.

"Previously unseen archive visual material." I'm guessing this is photos, not video.

[Trane]

Bruford was told the band couldn't continue, it was losing too much money.
When interviewed in late 1980, Bruford was still hoping to make another album, but the KC "reunion" offer took precedence.
Bruford offered some material of his own (not sure if this included some of the Bruford band ideas) to Fripp, who turned them down - which he took as meaning that his compositional input wouldn't be required, so from that point he abstained.

Which reminds me that I still have to read your book translating Broof's

Mmmmhhh!!... Fairly expensive (not that much considering that there are 8 discs), and maybe containing not-necessarily-essential unreleased stuff and some dickwad video medium (BRD or DVD-A) and sthat stoopid vinyl-sized boxset (for CDs) will not make this set an autobuy for me.
I do own two albums and a DVD (with Anette on vocals) from that era, so theoretically, I got what I need.

but I will keep an eye and an ear on that, though.

[Yellow Jester]

While the Bruford Box Set still looks tempting, I hope Winterfold would consider doing standalone releases of the 5.1 DVD-A's of Feels Good To Me & One Of A Kind.

[Cyberian Cat]

DVD-A is compatible with any standard DVD (and blu-ray) player. You only need a specialized DVD-A player if you want access to the lossless surround. (without a DVD-A player, surround will be DTS or Dolby)

[Wah3]

Has anyone heard the 4th album demos? I assume they are with Dave Stewart (keys) John Clark (guitar) and Jeff Berlin (bass, maybe vocals too though I hope not)

Bill weighs in....
