Masques is the third studio album from well known session jazz fusion group. Collins and Lumley are gone but the sound more or less is the same. Keys man Peter Robinson came from Quatermass, another interesting ingredient to add to the stew. Some fiery guitar work from Goodsall as usual. 'Deadly Nightshade' is a stone cold classic. Not much else to say - table stakes for any reputable fusion collection.
Ownership: LP: 1978 Passport. Single sleeve. Mint copy from the Austin Record Show for $4. Strange as it may sound, I can't recall ever owning this on vinyl before. I wasn't a big Brand X fan in my original foray into the prog underground during the 80s, and I only picked up a used commodity CD sometime in the 90s that's long gone. I'd been on the lookout for a clean LP in the wilds, but they're usually pretty beat. Nice to finally find one.
