The Best of Band X is the 1976 lone release by American instrumental ensemble Band X. Despite its title, the album is a proper release of contemporary recordings and not a compilation. Led by Boston-area vibist Craig Peyton, the music meshes harmonic interplay with otherworldly sounds — the latter made possible by the band’s preview-access to a newly developed array of keyboard technology.
Tracklist:
A1. Rip Van Winkle
A2. Red Cloud
A3. Trullion Alastor
A4. Afterthought
