ALBUM REVIEW
Probably the best introduction to the band. It contains the first Brand X vocal track, "Sun in the Night," but even with Phil's radio-friendly voice the song comes across as too weird and spacey to be a contender for a hit single. This entire album has an extra-spacey tone that takes it further still from traditional jazz than the previous one. The extra-terrestrial mood is skillfully kept in check by constant reminders of the rhythmic invention and unparalleled musicianship lurking below the aural surface (http://www.pyoing.net/brandx/)
