4 stars I actually mildly prefer this one to Unorthodox Behaviour, since it finds Brand X emerging from the shadow of the session work they'd been brought together to do and stamp their own identity on their material. Whereas the debut album had mixed up straight-ahead fusion with instrumental passages previously developed backing material like Eno's Another Green World, resulting in a bit of a hodge-podge of material, this album benefits from the Middle Eastern musical influences the title and cover art implies, adding a world music touch to proceedings. We're still very much in fusion territory, but Brand X are now plotting their own distinctive course there.
