1992–1999

Goodsall and Jones formed a 'power trio' version of Brand X with drummer Frank Katz in 1992, releasing Xcommunication the following year. To make up for the lack of a keyboard player, Goodsall used a Gibson Max midi guitar system to trigger synths, samples and keyboard sounds along with his guitars. This line-up went on to record 1996's Manifest Destiny, and tour Japan and Europe in 1997 with keyboard player Kris Sjobring and ex-Gong drummer Pierre Moerlen replacing Katz.

In recent years, Goodsall has recorded with Franz Pusch and performed regular solo concerts with guest musicians. Jones and Katz formed Tunnels (1993-2006), releasing five albums. Goodsall played guitar on Tunnels:Progressivity (2002).

After Brand X's 1979 world tour (the last with Collins), Goodsall moved to Los Angeles and worked as a session musician, and as a member of the band Zoo Drive (1980-1987), which included Doug Lunn, Paul Delph and Spinal Tap drummer Ric Parnell. Goodsall has also performed and/or recorded with Bill Bruford, Desmond Dekker, Peter Gabriel, Billy Idol, Bryan Adams, Toni Basil and Mark Isham. Goodsall released two albums with his band Fire Merchants, before reforming with Brand X and recording Xcommunication and Manifest Destiny. Several bootleg compilation albums (some of which are listed below) have surfaced without Brand X's consent and continue to be sold illegally.
