Comments: This is the last album by the group which bore Bruford's name,
and it is, arguably, their weakest effort... which isn't really saying much.
The playing is as inspired as ever. The main detraction comes from Jeff
Berlin's lead vocals on four of the eight tracks. Still, Joe Frazier, Q.E.D.,
and Land's End are worth the price of admission alone. Soon after this
album, Bruford moved on to the re-formed King Crimson, renouncing all of
his solo efforts. (NOTE: On the original album, the title of Q.E.D. was
actually pronounced "The Square Root Of Q.E.D." The title was written
as "Q.E.D." underneath a square root sign.)
