Moroccan Roll (1977) is the second studio album by British jazz fusion group Brand X.[2] The title is a pun referring to this being their second album: "more rock and roll", however, Moroccan Roll is not a step toward the rock and roll side of the fusion equation, but rather an experiment with Eastern sounds and softer textures.[3] The album is mostly instrumental. "Sun in the Night" contains vocals sung by Brand X drummer Phil CollinsinSanskrit. "Disco Suicide" and "Maybe I'll Lend You Mine After All" also contain vocals, although they are wordless.
