The missing period before developing the tunes to 5 star quality.

This recording released in 1997 is actually a collection of tunes from 1975 and onwards. Undeveloped pieces that later appeared on BRAND X's first albums in much better interpretations. To the point that respected Jazz magazine "Down Beat" had voted the band the best in Jazz-Rock for three years in a row. This immature collection would have failed, though.

Pretty good, no doubt, but in comparison, not quite there,yet. What's missing here is the later addition of MORRIS PERT (percussions) whose contribution has defined the band much more than COLLIN's showing off his painfully rigid attempt at being associated with Jazz.

In comparison with the first few albums, this one represents little excitement. 3.5 at the most.
