Album Notes & Community Reviews

Building upon their intense instrumental interplay, Brand X incorporates prominent sitar and Eastern percussive elements, moving towards a more diverse, globally-tinged fusion sound. The rhythm section is explosively propelled by Phil Collins and Percy Jones, who anchor the complex time signatures. It stands as a pinnacle of British jazz-rock, balancing highly technical musicianship with atmospheric, quasi-psychedelic explorations.
