Brand X
Trilogy
The Story
Brand X "Trilogy" is a beautifully packaged three-CD set that consists of the two 1990's studio releases "Manifest Destiny" and "X Communication". In addition is a previously unreleased superior sound quality live recording featuring the classic 1970s Brand X lineup with the legendary Phil Collins on drums and vocals. BRAND X lives through the decades, and their forward sounding ideas still resonate in our ears. Brand X is now defunct, but this three CD release is a testament to the last three working line-ups of the band which spand (within this releases) 17 years. "X Communication" and "Manifest Destiny" come from the last era of the band's existence. They are rare jewels and continue the Brand X 'doctrine', featuring the true innovations of bassist Percy Jones and guitarist John Goodsall.
