This is cool!! I never heard this album. I had Unothodox (fav of all time of ANY band), Product and Is There Anyone About?" Did they go rock after "Dont Make Waves"? I should know more about them (other than Phil) but I don't really. I really like this!!!
I'm African American, these guys will be a study to me for the rest of my life. I play drums and i've listen every genre of music possible, but when BrandX Livestock was put in my hands about 20 years ago (except for Hendrix, Bob Marley) my musical concept was elevated i've never had a group of individuals affect me musically like brand x. the drums, guitars, keyboards, percussion, man i don't
@JonP1961 yes, they dont have the inventiveness and vision like they used to. theres plenty of technique nowadays but nobody can compose music anywhere near this.
@Talldrumr ...yeah, what a great title....Brand X were never afraid to inject a little humour into the sleeve notes!...And you gotta admit, that was pricey drinking chocolate even then!...
I was floored when I first heard this ('79?) -- everything's top notch: the playing, the writing, the composure, if you will, of the players to get THAT close to excess without ever crossing that line
This entire album is an absolute masterpiece. It's absolutely amazing how they can be so abstract and act as one unit so effortlessly. All 5 members unleash their beast within on this one. Goodsall's chord structures are from another planet.
Had this album since 1980. Never tire of it !!!!
How much of the crap churned out these days will last that long ?
Most bands now can barely play their instruments.
