Last album with Phil Collins on drums, "Is There
Anything About" is firmly rooted in the 80s as evidenced by its
ultra-polished production and (some) too clinical.
Dice 'Ipanaemia' guitar can clearly hear John
Goodsall as rarely before then or in groups
of jazz-rock as
demonstrative Uzeb at the same
time. 'A follow April' exudes a more contemplative atmosphere
that recalls some work Weather Report on
'Tmiu Atga', it highlights keyboards Robin
Lumley in a synthetic environment
thatVangelis himself would not have
denied. Maybe 'Swan Song' seems a little dated as its keyboard
parts you probably remember
the Genesis of "Abacab", one can even
hear the hearts there to talk about the strong influence
of Phil Collins on this composition, it
there is a not your servant can take.
The title track is probably one of the best songs of the
album. Starting with a set of cymbals and repetitive low enough
fine-tuned, this piece is expanding gradually with the addition of
other instruments (keyboards, guitar) to move towards a rather
successful tribal-jazz atmosphere with a final in which Phil Collins
shows his talent as a drummer emeritus. The last composition
"Modern, Noisy and Effective" unfortunately fall a little bellows
with his keyboards a bit kitsch but finally willing rooted in a time
when fusion had found its place in popular
music.
In less than 35 minutes, Brand
X shows a new sound both knowledge about
a jazz-rock both sophisticated and accessible if
not revolutionary. If you liked their previous productions,
this album is not in your déméritera nightclub. More
