It settles back again and this is so good. Love that guitar before 3 minutes then it settles back again before 5 minutes. A spacey atmosphere joins in as intricate sounds come and go.
Percussion is fairly steady though. I like that bass as well. The guitar, bass and keys take turns soloing over top. I'm such a fan of that electric piano early on then it settles back after 2 minutes briefly kicking back in as the bass solos over top. So much energy. So good. Intricate sounds follow along with some excellent bass as per usual. It kicks back in late. On fire! This has been nothing but a pleasure. Sure many fans were disappointed that a live album would only include two songs off of their studio albums and Phil isn't drumming throughout.
But it's the amazing music here that blows me away regardless of the complaints. I have no such qualms obviously. Review by Warthur Prog Reviewer. Granted, some songs from the band required a strong performance, yet it wasn't sufficient to showcase the full extent of his abilities - even if it did indicate he had concealed potential within his heart.
BRAND X, on the other hand, permitted him a technical freedom where right on its debut he was sure to ferociously showcase all his abilities. It did, no pun intended, blow me away, as I believe it did to many others. Nuclear Burn sets the mood impeccably: it has a lightly jazzy background thanks to Lumley's smooth Fender Rhodes piano, a groovy bass by Percy Jones, John Goodsall's intense guitar performance and the highly dynamic Phil Collins rhythm.
All musicians play in equal intensity and vivacity, none of them stealing the spotlight, all of them delivering state-of-art musicianship and melodies. For as technical it might get, it's as smooth as Polynesian canoes sailing through Polynesia. Try to imagine how smooth that must be. Was the first track the album's culmination, after all?
I think it was. Luckily, Nuclear Burn is an amazing song on a great album, so the other tracks, while not captivating as it, are individually great. Whatever it is the song's purpose, it's well executed.
The quartet were able musicians, after all. If you don't want absurd complexity, although you do want some complexity; if you want melody, although you do not want too much melody; if you want a badass Phil Collins, although you think Phil Collins isn't badass; I got a name for ya.
