MANIFEST DESTINY
BRAND X
1997 , UK - EURO 16.00
Label: CLEOPATRA
ALBUM REVIEW
Definitely an improvement over its predecessor (XCommunication), which over time I've found devotes far too much to being frenetic and abrasive. Most likely with some thanks to prog producer extraordinaire David Hentchell, Manifest Destiny is quite amiable fusion listening. While Katz is undeniably talented, I could do without the two tracks' worth of random puttering and pounding. Otherwise, the tunes are lively and sufficiently exploratory while still being fairly melodic (http://www.pyoing.net/brandx/). European version of this brandnew come back for one of the most exciting jazz rock bands to date. Two live bonus tracks are included
