Amazing imagination here - a jazz fusion waltz with the guitar part being played on a 12-string acoustic rather than a scorching 6-string electric. The intonation is a bit off on some of the higher frets, but that just makes things feel rougher and earthier to me.
I get a kick out of the young guys who don't realize this is Phil Collins on drums....yes, he was once this cool: a highly creative self-taught drummer. What you hear are years of hard work and dedication, but alas nothing's permanent in this world and it all changed in 1980 with "Duke" and the hit candy-single "Misunderstanding". No hard feelings towards Phil...only a profound respect.

@seb2112 Aside fom the Mahavishnu Orchestra ,check out " Eleventh House" w/ Larry Coryell , "Tony Williams Lifetime" -featuring John Mclaughlin & Jack Bruce, Pierre Moerlen's Gong (not Daevid Allen), "the Dixie Dregs", Bill Bruford's " Sahara of Snow "period.
@TumbrelJockey I checked them all out and none of them hooked me in. Even Brand X I only really like this album, and 2 songs off the one after. I'm really picky when it comes to fusion jazz, I usually prefer progressive rock, and the majority of what I listen to is death metal and rap!
@seb2112 Know what you mean seb2112 , the honest anwer to your question is that for me "Moroccan Roll " was really a "one of" & as far as i wanted to ride.Good hunting.TJ
Look for their album Xcommunication. Some absolutely freakish Acid Jazz that just oozes groove. Suggest starting with the tunes "Kluzinski Period" and "Liquid Time".
If you like Brand-X you might as well try a band called ''Gong'', Their album called ''Expresso II' is pretty jazzy. I love this band as well as'' Bill Bruford's'' album called ''One of a Kind''.
@MrTobeDamit I checked out both. they're both good, but not my kind of stuff. too happy and Bruford's album is too keyboard heavy verging on 80s jazz for me.
Of course you are refering to Pierre Moerlen's Gong and not the psychedelico-LSDo-dizzyeo group called simple Gong. Pierre Moerlen took over a moribund group (Gong) in 1974 to fulfil the contract with Virgin Records. There were 2 albums to release and these were Gazeuse (Expresso in US) and Expresso II. After that Pierre Moerlen changed the group name in PM's Gong. P. Moerlen not just did the job but took Gong to a whole new level. RIP Pierre
Hi Spaggs, Unless I,m mistaken you,ve missed John Goodsall's finest hour. "Voiderama". Have you got it to post? Saw them live a few times and wondered what they'd be like with Holdsworth! In my dreams.
Let me give you some more recommendations of unknown prog rock or psychedelic---Gong, Magma, Jade Warrior, Aphrodities Child, Lisa Gerrard, Uriah Heep, Eat Static, Steffi Sharpstrings, Acid Mothers Temple, Steve Tibbetts, Mother Gong, Kazumi Watanabe, Ozric Tentacles and Melting Euphoria.
@Incudius But those Romanists who do not greatly love the Jesuits, and their number is not limited, use the term as indicating that the Black Pope rules the White Pope...even while the former [i.e., the Black Pope] is obligated to make, at least, a show of submission to the latter." (1896)
M.F. Cusack (Ex-nun of Kenmore; author of the book The Black Pope)
@Incudius "In Roman Catholic circles it is well known that the Black Pope is the term used for the [Superior] General of the Jesuits. As the Pope is always robed in white, and the [Jesuit Superior] General in black, the contrast is obvious.
@Incudius "Today they [i.e., the Jesuits] are stronger in the United States than they ever were in any of the countries of Europe which expelled them as a menace to the government." (1912)
@Incudius Michael Tsarion is the worlds premier conspiracy researcher/lecturer/author. Leo Zagami, Jordan Maxwell and Alexandre Dumas pere are highly informative as well. p.s. Melting Euphoria is similar to Ozric Tentacles and Gong.
@orlandez22 if you really are into Genesis you gatta look into King Crimson. The best progressive rock band ever. It all starts from or is related to KG...Van der Graaf Generatror is something too..
From the their first and best album. I saw them at London's Marquee Club when it was released and they were awesome, Collins' playing with Brand X shows what a great drummer he is, away from his more commercial solo work. I remember that I had high hopes for 'Face Value' when it came out - what a disappointment that was! BTW the band pics on the vid are from the sleeve of the second album, 'Moroccan Roll' (More Rock 'n' Roll) and I don't think Morris Pert actually features on this one.
wrong again ! I've just re-listened to unorthodox behaviour and it really makes me want to put a milonga to it ! so much good music from that period !
love it all, just as i did in the 70's and 80's, but this is the only track i can really take a woman in my arms and danse to. It really is a waltz, and absolutely delicious if you can danse tango !
Good shit!! Phil, Phil, Phil. What happened to the love of music? It is a shame that money took over with Phil Collins and Genesis as well. Anyhow, this great stuff lives on.
That's because they play different stuff - I could throw Art Blakey in the discussion, for example. Chester used to play with Zappa, you gotta have a good feeling for that. Bruford is an accurate drummer, precise, surgical, differently from Phil. I still prefer Bruford and Thompson, though.
Phil Collins is such a good drummer, he made such impressive works in Genesis, and now I see, in Brand X... Why did he have to destroy progressive rock after that?!
Money, I mean yeah it's a shame that he doesn't play this stuff as much these days, but he saw a gap in the market and exploited the buggery out of it!
The guy is an under rated drummer though, more people should know this side of him.
Best Brand X track after and so to f.. from Product. Also check out Brand X appearing on "Marscape" an album by Jack Lancaster and Robin Lumley (brilliant)
Saw them in New York also and Phil was playing percussion & keyboard's while Kenwood played the drum's Sick ! Why can't this kind of music come back again!
I wasn't aware of any other version. This is the one I have off the album. Sorry =/ I thought this was the original. If you happen to find any info on it, please let me know.
ah yes this is kick ass collins saw him with gabriel his last tour lamb lies down tour and the trick of the tail tour with chester thompson man both doing dance on a volcano that is some bad ass drumming this is my all time favorite bandthe era is 1977 jazz in all its colors and a whole lot more fussion jazz@ its fucking best
I love this track! I wish I could have seen Phil in his drumming prime! What an amazing influence on fusion drumming as we know it today....almost 30 years later.
I like you thought the were very good.John didn't...
I spoke to John about the videos on youtube.He did not like them and he said he was going ask the person that put up to them removed.I don't know if he did.
Morris is living and recording in the North of Scotland.
Robin the last I heard,he was in Aus.
John in the US.John brought out a couple of CD's awhile back they are BRILLIANT the group name Fire Merchants albums are called FireMerchants its on the Medusa Records and the number is 772354-2 The second album is Lords of Atlantis on the Renaissance number RCD1007.
There used to be 8 vids of the Fire Merchants posted, but they were removed for some reason. Maybe they didn't get enough accolades. I thought they were tremendous.
Oh, by the way, do you know what Robin Lumley is up to these days? I've been trying to find videos and things about him, but nothing! Do you know anything?
