This 4 cd set is an awesome value! The first 6 Brand X albums on 4 discs, plus unreleased BBC bonus tracks. Before Phil Collins became a big pop star, he was one heck of a fusion drummer. Phil formed this group as a side project to Genesis. Brand X are very underrated. Their jazz/rock instrumental work is similar to the fusion greats of the 70's like Return to Forever. Phil does include vocal on some tracks. 70's fusion fans can't go wrong with this set.
