Gradually Going Tornado is the third and final studio album by Bruford. It was co-produced by Weather Report collaborator Ron Malo and released in 1980 (see 1980 in music). In contrast to the band's previous all-instrumental effort, several songs were sung by bassist Jeff Berlin. The closing Dave Stewart composition 'Land's End' includes music previously used on the opening and closing tracks of the National Health album Of Queues and Cures (1978). This album is considered among one of the best albums in the progressive rock/fusion genre.
Personnel
Bill Bruford - drums, producer

Contrary to the belief of many, John Clark is not actually Allan Holdsworth. He was a guitar student of Holdsworth's whom Allan recommended as his replacement. He is now a long-term guitar player with Cliff Richards' band.
