Album Notes & Community Reviews
Heavily featuring the phenomenally rapid, deeply complex drumming of Genesis's Phil Collins, Brand X's debut album is an absolute tour de force of British jazz-rock. 'Unorthodox Behaviour' thrives on highly technical, wonderfully warm instrumental improvisations, expertly navigating fiercely energetic fusion grooves and beautifully mellow, shifting time signatures with incredibly rhythmic precision.
