Hey, whatever works and keeps the neighbors happy.
I never had that particular Brand X album. The ones I liked best were
Unorthodox Behavior and
Livestock. Most of my favorite fusion bands were out of England. UK, Buford, Soft Machine, Nucleous etc. I think Holdsworth was in all of them at one time or another. I also liked Gong, Michał Urbaniak, Gabor Szabo, Jean-Luc Ponty and several other European groups. I liked some of the more acoustic bands too though like Passport, Oregon, the Paul Winter Consort, Pat Metheny and so on. I liked Jeff Beck's fusion period a lot. For what it's worth, in my opinion the Dixie Dregs'
What If album was the quintessential fusion recording.
