Just discovered his work over the Xmas break and wondered if anyone else is into his stuff? Gonna start exploring some Brand X. Some interesting techniques he uses in this series:

You've a real treat in store - there's lots of extraordinary stuff that he did with Brand X, a good deal more edgy and exuberant than in the example in your original post, IMHO. My favourite albums by them are probably Product and Unorthodox Behaviour, but it's all going to be an eye-opener, frankly. Enjoy!

Just received Unorthodox Behaviour in the post. Great stuff. Phil Collins is a pretty amazing drummer too

Collins is a superb drummer, one of the best.
Unfortunately he'll be remembered by the majority for his largely mediocre solo records.

LOL. Phil Collins was awesome. So was John Goodsall and Robin Lumley etc.

I much prefer early days Percy Jones on his wall. I don't care for his tone on the example added by low registerhead.

I'm with you, Davo - that was the OP's post, not mine! Give me Brand X Percy any day... :-)

Brand X livestock album is great. I first heard Percy Jones on this in 1977, bought the album and still have it. I must dig it out for a listen.

Funny, I've been reminiscing with old Brand X stuff on Spotify all day. Percy was one of the reasons I started playing bass and one of the reasons I bought a fretless Wal as soon as I possibly could. I still reckon PJ's the best out there.

Same here on all 3 points :)

He's the most unusual bassist i've ever heard.

Ended up with 3 Brand X albums ... Unorthodox Behaviour .. Moroccan Roll ( what an album title ) .... and Masques

Have some more PJ on me
