"Masques" is the third studio album by the British jazz fusion group Brand X, released in 1978. This album is notable for being the band's first studio recording without drummer Phil Collins, who had left the group to focus on his work with Genesis and his solo career.
The album cover features a photo of the crowd from the Knebworth Festival in 1978, where both Brand X and Genesis performed. This festival was a significant event for both bands, highlighting the connection between Collins' two musical projects. The absence of Collins on Masques marked a shift in the band's dynamics and sound, but Brand X continued to push the boundaries of jazz fusion with this release.
