[[File:Bruford feelsgoodtome.jpg|right|200px]]"Feels Good To Me" is a 1977 album by [[Bruford]]. Although released under the name "Bruford", in practice this is a solo album by Bill. Although the Bruford band performs on the entire album, Allan would describe this album as session work. Bruford’s music is a highly technical and arranged mixture of fusion and progressive rock, Allan once called it “jigsaw music”. But it’s very well done, and a fan favourite among many. Jeff Berlin really pumps it on bass, and there several nice guitar solos. | [[File:Bruford feelsgoodtome.jpg|right|200px]]"Feels Good To Me" is a 1977 album by [[Bruford]].

Bill Bruford’s solo album (out this month) is the latest of Holdsworth’s projects; the featured musicians also include Dave Stewart on keyboards and an American called Jeff Berlin on bass, whom Allan spent several minutes enthusing over ("He’s a killer. He’s gonna scare a lot of people. Really lethal." ) At the time of writing secret rehearsals are going on with a new band believed to include Bruford, Holdsworth, Eddie Jobson and John Wetton. Whether this will result in a touring band, or in an album, or in both, is not known yet. Allan had been sworn to silence even regarding band personnel, and this information came from "another source". Let’s just hope it’s accurate. | Bill Bruford’s solo album (out this month) is the latest of Holdsworth’s projects; the featured musicians also include Dave Stewart on keyboards and an American called Jeff Berlin on bass, whom Allan spent several minutes enthusing over ("He’s a killer.

Meanwhile, he is very content with the guitar sound on the Bruford album. Having experimented for years with amp arrangements and different guitars, he has now settled down with a 50 watt Marshall top, a pair of 4 x l2ins and also a 50 watt Hiwatt top. The amps have been "bodged" to increase the stages of amplification to the level of, say, a Boogie, and the signal-to-noise ratio has been improved to the point where there is virtually no hiss at all. "But also I think a lot of it is to do with that guitar. | Meanwhile, he is very content with the guitar sound on the Bruford album.
