Moroccan Roll (1977) is the second studio album by British jazz fusion group Brand X. 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 & roll side of the fusion equation, but rather an experiment with Eastern sounds and softer textures. The album is mostly instrumental. "Sun in the Night" is the only track with vocals, containing lyrics sung in Sanskrit by Phil Collins. However, "Disco Suicide" also contains vocals, albeit wordless and syllabic.
