Dave is Bruford playing any note-based instruments in Five Percent for Nothing? Like a proto-Octopad that triggers musical notes vs typical percussion sounds?

I think of Asylum more Jackson Browne, Eagles, Tom Waits, Joni Mitchell, some Dylan and Fogerty but I think they also had Batdorf and Rodney and they got into some heavier stuff also.

Thanks Dave! I saw some video from the 80s where he is wearing like a karate shirt and does play an Octapad, so was just wondering if there was anything similar on that track

Is “Great White North” by Bob and Doug MacKenzie “prog adjacent” given Geddy Lee’s involvement?
Avatar 7:23pm
Coach32sm:

Funny, I spent the better part of 15 summers in Canada so Rush was shoved down your throat but I too never played them on my turntable, car, tape recorders of various track. Never liked Getty Lees voice. But I didnt like Jon Andersons either for a long time!!
