Brand X


"Product" released in 1979, stands as the fourth studio album by the British jazz fusion group Brand X. Notably, this album marks the return of primary member Phil Collins on drums, after his absence on their previous album "Masques." Alongside Collins, the album features drummer Mike Clark and bassist John Giblin, contributing to the band's distinctive sound and style. Two tracks from the album, "Soho" and "Wal To Wal," were predominantly recorded at Phil Collins' residence at Old Croft in Shalford, Surrey. This setting provided a unique environment for capturing the music, contributing to the album's overall atmosphere and creative direction. "Product" continues Brand X's exploration of jazz fusion, characterized by complex rhythms, intricate compositions, and a fusion of various musical genres. The album showcases the band's virtuosity and improvisational skills, solidifying their reputation within the jazz fusion community during the late 1970s.
