This is probably one of the best of its genre records, hands-down. Holdsworth, the side, Jeff Berlin, is a beast. The bass that he lays down on this album especially in one of a kind part one and two is just the cream of the crop. I’m sure this guy is well known in England, but in my opinion, Jeff Berlin is one of the best bass players alive. We not even talk about Bruford at this point. Would’ve loved to have seen this live.
- Allan Holdsworth / guitar - Dave Stewart / keyboards & synths - Jeff Berlin / bass - Bill Bruford / acoustic & electronic drums, percussion ...tremendos músicos!... todos consagrados
It could be Andy Williams or Zappa, Johnny Mathis or King Crimson. If it's good, it's good. This is good. Don't feel bad for those who never heard this. Just be glad that you did. Bless all who were part of it. And may Allan rest peacefully.
dont lecture us - you do not have any more musical insight then the rest of us, the fans of *One Of A Kind* - there is always one in the group - ALWAYS - and you are that one guy - STFU
I love this whole piece, both parts, but as I listen, I really am mostly waiting patiently for Allan to shine at the end. His solo here is a wonderful example of how often he finds the surprising, but somehow perfect note or phrase and the perfect time. A unique artist and maestro whom I miss daily.
Dave Stewart here. 'The Sahara of Snow' Part 1 (0.00-5.22) was entirely written by Bill Bruford, Part 2 was co-written by Bill & Eddie Jobson. The rhythmic piano patterns Bill wrote in Pt.1 were great fun to play, and I worked out my own keyboard parts for Pt.2 based on the pre-written chord sequence Bill showed me. HTH
This whole album, a masterpiece, one of my deserted island picks, has stood the test of time. I listen to it now, as frequently as I did when I first discovered it back in the 1980's. This band ranks up there with Return to Forever, Weather Report and Mahavishnu Orchestra. It may not have been a front line fighting unit, like those bands (they were all straight out of the Miles Davis school of musical upheaval), but they were the best of the flanking groups, IMO. Bruford did have it's Miles Davis connection however, through Allan Holdsworth who, of course, was a principle player and composer in Tony Williams' Lifetime (Tony being the drummer for one of Miles' most pivotal and impactful musical periods).
I agree - RTF, MO, and WR were the triumvirate of the fusion groups (as you say, all descended from Miles Davis) but Bruford was not second-string in any objective way.
Note that Eddie Jobson was co-writer with Bill Bruford of 'Sahara Of Snow, Part Two.' Eddie played violin on 'One of a Kind' and soon after joined with Bruford in the band UK, who played 'Sahara of Snow' in live concerts.
+newvultraz you are correct Bruford and Holdsworth left U.K. and began recording this immediately afterwards. And U.K. did perform this song live BEFORE those two left the band. Saw them in 1978 @ Santa Monica Civic and they played this song.
Ø yes uk was and ended before one of a kind, yet jobson did write some with bruford while uk was still a thing and if im not mistaken this came out just a bit before danger money
Had this blasting while I was getting gas a few years back. Everyone there wanted to know who it was. Lots of young guys. Then I told them how old it was and that i'd been listening to it since it came out. It was really nice to see young dudes, black, white and Asian all have the same astonished response.
Absolutely... Once music is great, it stays great always Universally... & This Is Great! Severe Talent in All These Guys.. Undeniably Fabulous.. Ive seen All these guys several times; they Never Disapointed Me Ever!!!
Interesting tune, several sections that don't repeat, lots of ambient synth stuff, Holdsworth dropping in from another galaxy. I used to always marvel at that type of film editing style composition, very different from song form, sort of a mini-vacation from song form.
Loved this piece from the first time I heard it! It definitely conjures up mental images of bleak wintry snowscapes at either the North or South Pole (watch out for angry walruses or polar bears!). Love the crazed rhythmic piano work and when Holdsworth drops in full blast in the last section is just sheer bliss. ❤❤❤❤
Gonna be the first to say it. Bill may be the only colleague of Allan’s to heap praise and/or thank him even to this day posthumously for his efforts. The others (John Wetton) surprisingly seem to fire off some disparaging comments about his session work and “group hopping”. Loyalty in the music business is often questionable.
По логике и узнаваемой идее этот шедевр должен был войти в альбом U.K.-U.K.-1978. Но в те времена было невыгодно, нерентабельно и технически сложно штамповать виниловые пластинки хронометражом более 45 минут. И великий наш современник Bill Bruford решил догнать и обогнать двух зайцев, что у него получилось блестяще. Счастлив, что бренд U.K. - Bruford-Holdsworth - не имеет ничего общего даже удалённо с сегодняшней несчастной и позорной пед.......скрй великобританий. Как потопаете - так и полопаете. А искусство точно вне политики! Позор всем странам, государствам и их правительствам, не расссскусившим наших в доску Билла Бруфорда, Аллана Холдсворта, Дейва Стюарта и правильного ученика швейцарца Патрика Мораза (Patrick Moraz) - американца Джеффа Берлина. (не будете слушаться меня - поставлю в угол, гулять с другими детишками не позволю ;-) )
This is probably the greatest tribute cover of Yes masterpiece Siberian Khatru ever recorded. ruclips.net/video/azlchsTqc_U/видео.html What really makes it stand out is around the 2:53 mark where they brilliantly and seamlessly flowed into a segment of Bruford's Sahara of Snow!
Per Bruford's own web site, 14″x 6½” Ludwig Supersensitive. Understand that when he's in backbeat mode (even if it's in an odd meter) he's generally striking the rim at the same time as the head

He’s criminally and I mean criminally, underrated
@@user-tc6wp2iq5k their work is beyond average comprehension
Another great Holdsworth solo and there Many he left us with RIP maestro….
an absolute masterwork. blast this into space for all life to hear for all eternity.
From this song, the first 45 seconds of the silence/echo effect was kind of unneccessary but its too late... 1979 LOL
- Allan Holdsworth / guitar
- Dave Stewart / keyboards & synths
- Jeff Berlin / bass
- Bill Bruford / acoustic & electronic drums, percussion

And incredible finale to a "one of a kind" album!!
No one can touch Allan
He had it all the tone, the touch, the compositions RIP maestro
He was incredible

Still have my album signed by Bill. This album is one of my all time favorites. The loss of Holdsworth is emmense.

The great keyboardist Eddie Jobson wrote this one. UK connected well here. Just amazing musicianship!!
Yeah....BUT..... this is Dave Stewart on ALL keyboards in this studio version!!!!
Agree Dave genius virtuoso keyboardist!!

I envy you very much for that
Ive seen them all as well, absolutely stunning musicians all of them. so together theyre unbelievably excellent.
I can only agree with your comment...

I concur with your synopsis. It's almost sort of spiritual the way the two drummers complement each other.
I agree - RTF, MO, and WR were the triumvirate of the fusion groups (as you say, all descended from Miles Davis) but Bruford was not second-string in any objective way.
Yeah I'd like to see Miles Davis try to play over this
R.I.P Allan the world is a lesser place with yr passing.
Really stands the test of time I saw this at the Roxy in LA in the 70s I guess
From this song, the first 45 seconds of the silence/echo effect was kind of unneccessary but its too late... 1979 LOL
Bruford’s autobiography is stellar!
Been humming the last phrase for days... this is so great....🎼🎶

This is one of my favorite albums to workout to -- always saturates me with energy!!!
ALAN HOLDSWORTH - Guitars
JEFF BERLIN - Bass, bvox
DAVE STEWART (NOT the one from Eurhythmics) - Keys
BRUFORD - Drums and percussion
Stellar line up.
Jesus, Holdsy just slays me at the end!
Tears flowing.
you do all know Allen wasn't from here, he just visited us for a while,
I have had this music in my head all day, first thing I thought was...Jeff Beck, then I realized that I have been listening to Bill Bruford!!!.
I'm sure Jeff would approve of it !
Fusion, jazzrock, prog ... I would not know ... but imagine the sahara snow covered...
What would I expect, rather than utter brilliance, Brufordesque!
que temazo para mi el mejor solo de guitarra de Allan , temas como estos ya no se hacen
Este solo y el de "Low Levels, High Stakes" (de "Hard Hat Area") son sublimes.
How on earth does anyone give this a thumbs down, let alone 7 people??? This track is the definition of brilliant.
morons
‘Cos you just can’t underestimate stupidity and idiotic taste!
👍
One of my top ten favorite songs from the "classic" prog era. Holdsworth and Stewart at their best.
Im a drummer myself,thanks Bill,you beat them all.
He was great when he was alive but he stinks now
@@the_great_gavonne you're a musician as well, don't expect to be respected if you're the first not doing it towards colleagues.
@@ReggiePostlethwaite It's funny that u r too dumb to get the joke!
Bill never made a contest of it.
the great gavonne umm, bill is still alive. So I don’t get the joke
It's no coincidence that Bill Bruford is on my favorite albums of all time. Fragile, UK Feels good to me,Three of a perfect pair....
Nice. A great album, incredible musicians.
I had this album for my 14th birthday when it just came out - never looked back - was an eye opener.
What a Brilliant Ensemble!
this is unbelievably great.
Thanks for the unbroken post...Part 1 is amazing, but nothing without that jam on Part 2!
And vice versa. Don't be narrow minded. Forest for the trees, man..........
Agree!

+Derek Currie Pretty sure UK was before One of a Kind.
Thanks!

one of the most underrated violinist/keyboardist of our time Eddie Jobson

Brings my childhood back to me.
Part 2 really moves me thank you mr holdsworth
The last 3 minutes.. words can’t express how much I love the part.
Love how this music sticks around!!!...!
Thank you for merging the two tracks together. I always have enjoyed this and The Abringdon Chasp from the One of a Kind album.
Absolutely... Once music is great, it stays great always Universally... & This Is Great!
Severe Talent in All These Guys.. Undeniably Fabulous.. Ive seen All these guys several times; they Never Disapointed Me Ever!!!
Very nice, very like UK sound
One of a Kind, in many ways, was considered the follow up to UK's first. The "progressive" follow up.
Yes, actually Sahara of Snow Part II was written by Jobson. Holdsworth's best playing was over Jobson's chords!
Interesting tune, several sections that don't repeat, lots of ambient synth stuff, Holdsworth dropping in from another galaxy. I used to always marvel at that type of film editing style composition, very different from song form, sort of a mini-vacation from song form.
Holdsworth making his guitar sing.
Thanks Joyce! Alan is poignant!
I am great scott. I met Bill bruford three times thanks for the upload great scott!
Loved this piece from the first time I heard it! It definitely conjures up mental images of bleak wintry snowscapes at either the North or South Pole (watch out for angry walruses or polar bears!).
Love the crazed rhythmic piano work and when Holdsworth drops in full blast in the last section is just sheer bliss. ❤❤❤❤
My brother's favorite album, I would sit and smoke weed and listen to YES and King Krimson for hours
Thanks for this. Still have the album, but don't have a great turntable to play it. This is the "grand finale" to "One of a Kind".
And I have the pleasure of watching snow leopards in the Himalayas, while listening to this music!!!...
Seven/Eighths JUST _STUNNING!_ Every musician here is Primo! Great synth work! Bill is the shit!
7/4........2 b xact.
It's smoother counting in 7/8 than 7/4
Btw..it's not a fraction. Not 7 eighths :)
Bill is definitely the shi*!
legend has it they once experimented with 4/4 but decided it was a bit 'out there'..
Thanks for sharing...a most unique tune!
I love the modulation at the very end lol
5:22 Larks Tongues in Aspic III
Many thanks -- one of the best from Bruford/Holdsworth and not easy to find.
Still in my top ten for cds to pack when SHTF in 2023.
A masterpiece!!
what a awesome track... what a crazy melodies. Great job SrMuille!
Thank you ,thank you....love this.....the entire song!!!
Wow!
I just love this tune
Bill Burford the master of very awkward time signatures. Try them you will see.
excelente disco uno de los que mas me agrada los musicos ni hablar
... by the way, this is one of the best album that I have listened
Thank you for the blessed upload!!!...
I seen it live at ROXY. wow
Desert island record. There's a live video of SoS Part 2 out there somewhere that is just jaw-dropping.
incredible.
As good as it gets.
Epic!
Brilliant, thank you for the upload!!!...

Many musicians sang his praise Chad Wackerman Bill Bruford

Maybe, he had so many..with so many people liked his solos with jean luc ponty also
Where can I get a score for Snow of sahara?
Allan Holdsworth was amazing!
you're welcome.
Any idea what the time signature is at 1:40?
It's in seven.
7/8, accent on the 3 and the 7.
@@hubbsllc Thanks
To paraphrase Albert Einstein speaking of Yehudi Menuhin, Allan Holdsworth's solo in this piece is proof of the existence of God...

@@hubbsllc thanks. Rimshot sounds so nice.
It is my impression that part I sounds King Crimsonesque, whereas part II is more like UKesque? RIP Allan, terribly missed.
@Jerry Vivanco So true...indeed!
The second part was written by Eddie Jobson, so that makes sense.
This a "remix," unfortunately. I hardly recognized it.
