There are not many drummers who have shaped rock history as comprehensively as the Englishman Bill Bruford. With his powerful polyrhythmic drumming he made decisive contributions in bands like Yes or King Crimson, he played briefly for Genesis and Gong and was involved in the formation of the supergroup U.K.. In 1979 he founded his own band Bruford and in 1986 Earthworks, with which he was to play for two decades. The work of Earthworks is now being honoured with a major retrospective.
