Bio:

UFO are an English Hard rock band that was formed in 1969.UFO became a transitional group between early hard rock and heavy metal and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. UFO were ranked No. 84 on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock"Singer Phil Mogg, guitarist Mick Bolton, bassist Pete Way, and drummer Andy Parker formed the band in August 1969. Originally taking the name Hocus Pocus, the group changed their name in October 1969 to UFO in honour of the London club where they were spotted by Noel Moore, who signed them to Beacon Records label, which was headed by Antiguan-born Milton Samuel. Their eponymously titled first album debuted in 1970 and was a typical example of early hard rock including a heavy version of the Eddie Cochran's classic "C'mon Everybody". Both UFO 1 and its follow-up UFO 2: Flying, were successful in Japan (especially the single "C'mon Everybody" which became a huge hit there) and Germany (the song "Boogie For George," also from the first album, reached No. 30 in German singles charts as well as "Prince Kajuku" from Flying reached No. 26), but generated poor interest in Britain and America. Consequently, their third effort, Live (later re-issued as UFO Lands In Tokyo), was originally only released in Japan in 1971.Part of UFO's early work was strongly influenced by space rock (their second album, including a 26-minute title track and a 19-minute-long opus "Star Storm", was subtitled One Hour Space Rock) that was modestly popular at the time, but the band soon realised the style was somewhat limited. In January 1972, Mick Bolton left the group, and UFO set out to find a guitarist who could provide the band with a more standard rock sound.

Album:

Cleopatra Records will release the UFO album titled ”Walk On Water".Gorgeous, out-of-this-world reissue of the spectacular 1995 album from British classic rock masters, UFO!This, the 14th album from the band, marked the return of German guitar extraordinaire Michael Schenker as well as founding drummer Andy Parker and classic member Paul Raymond!Reissue features digitally remastered audio plus all new artwork!UFO are back! Phil Mogg (v) and Michael Schenker (g) actually got together again in 1995 and drummed up the "Lights Out" line-up with Pete Way (b), Andy Parker (d) and Paul Raymond (k,g) to record a comeback album. To represent what a miracle it is, they appropriately titled the product "Walk on Water".The listening impression is good, even if Mogg's characteristic voice has suffered somewhat over the years. Schenker riffs and solos in top form, the songs are great, the lyrics down-to-earth, the overall sound a bit too compressed, but powerful and transparent. My highlights are the opener "Self made Man" and the acoustic rocker "Dreaming of Summer". Except for Way's contribution "Knock", all new tracks are penned by Schenker / Mogg. After eight new songs and 42 minutes the glory is unfortunately already over... but not the CD: After that, there are two UFO classics in new recordings and three songs from the UFO environment (Mogg/Way, MSG, Paul Raymond Project), which should probably whet the appetite for the solo works of the band members.Walk on Water is the fourteenth album from the British hard rock band UFO, marking the return of German guitarist Michael Schenker to the band, as well as the returns of keyboardist Paul Raymond and founding drummer Andy Parker. The album did not chart. It was recorded at Rumbo Recorders in Canoga Park, California. It was released first and only in Japan on 14 April 1995 with 11 tracks and in 1997 in other countries with only 10 tracks. It has since been re-released on numerous occasions, with a variety of covers.

In January 1972, Mick Bolton left the group, and UFO set out to find a guitarist who could provide the band with a more standard rock sound.

Album:

Sharks is the sixteenth album by the British hard rock band UFO. It is the last album to feature longtime German lead guitarist Michael Schenker.This album sure was a surprise. It seemed like the band had finally self-destructed a couple of years ago onstage in Manchester, England when a drunken Michael Schenker stumbled around and made a fool of himself. He was barely able to play and eventually stormed offstage leaving the other members of the band dumbfounded. The rest of the tour was cancelled and it seemed that it was finally over. I had no idea that they were recording a new album until just a few months ago. They have always been one of my all-time favorite bands ever since I picked up their No Heavy Petting album back in 1976 just because I thought the cover was cool. That album and their subsequent classics, Lights Out, Obsession and one of the best live albums ever, Strangers In The Night, changed my attitude towards hard rock and heavy music and changed my life. Music could be rich and heavy with lots of guitar power chords but still be melodic, bluesy and have lots of feeling at the same time.There's a certain chemistry between the three remaining members of the classic line-up, Phil Mogg, Michael Schenker and Pete Way. Original drummer, Andy Parker, is no longer with the band and their current drummer is the veteran. Aynsley Dunbar. MSG (Michael Schenker Group) and even the Mogg-Way collaboration between Phil and Pete have never been able to quite capture the magic that happens when all three get together.This new album, Sharks, continues the legacy of U.F.O. very effectively with it's Michael Schenker trademark of chunky, riff driven songs and the classic, almost soulful singing style of Phil Mogg. No-one sounds like this band and they have a very unique, clever way of turning a somewhat simple rhythmic structure into a great song. Like every other U.F.O. album, every track on this album has a very distinct character and feel to it. The opening track, Outlaw Man features some slide guitar by Michael and then turns into a full blown U.F.O. rocker. Phil belts out vocal lines which are defiant in character and draws parallels between the aging outlaws of the wild west and the aging rock stars that they themselves are becoming. A typical, very charismatic and classic vocal delivery as only Phil Mogg can. Serenity features a slower trudging pace again with big fat power chord riffs and another classic U.F.O. chorus. Michael provides some great lead fills over the chorus which adds lots of warmth and melody. Shadow Dancer and Sea Of Faith are both uptempo songs with good catchy melodies and choruses.The track Someone's Gonna Have To Pay is certainly a highlight of this album. It has a slow pounding heavy beat that really reminds me of The Zoo by Michael's brother Rudolph's band, The Scorpions. It features a blusey style with lots of thick, hypnotic power chording to drive the song. Phil sings about the world's infatuation with nostalgia, especially the 60's, but only in the styles and fashions, not of the rebellious attitudes and even states that "The revolution's gone, there's no revolution song". Michael adds to the theme with some cool Wah-Wah soloing.I wish these guys would use Ron Nevison again to produce their albums. His touch of adding a little polish and energy to their sound is really missing. I'm not too thrilled with Michael's lead playing on this release either. On most tracks, he uses mainly the front pick-up on his guitar, giving a much weaker sound and his solos sound like he was just winging it. It's like he just went in and played something off the top of his head with very little thought or rehearsal. His playing is also very sloppy and more abstract with little of the preciseness and technical flair he usually known for. There's very little of the emotional and thematic lead style that has made this band's sound so unique.Other than a few minor complaints about production and some of the lead playing, this album has a classic U.F.O. sound to it and really takes me back to the No Heavy Petting and Force It albums. It's great to hear from these guys again and I hope another tour will follow. I saw them in 1985 when it was only Phil and Pete left from the original band. I'm still anxiously awaiting the chance to see them with Michael Schenker. We'll see what happens on the road this time!!!

Album:

We never have enough UFO, one of the most influential metal / hard rock bands of all time. CleoRecs is releasing this “One Night Lights Out ’77“, a vintage UFO concert recording captured at the legendary Agora Ballroom in Cleveland OH.There’s a lot of UFO live recordings, and all enjoyable. However, and while the sound quality isn’t perfect, the magic on “One Night Lights Out ’77” is that the set feels ‘really live’, showcasing a raw, rocking band at their peak, with line up of Phil Mogg / Michael Schenker / Pete Way / Andy Parker, and Paul Raymond.This is the tour in support of the band’s briliant album Lights Out, which not only featured the blockbuster title track but also “Too Hot To Handle,” “Gettin’ Ready,” “Love To Love”, and of course classics such as “Doctor Doctor”.
Only 10 tracks and 50+ minutes, the perfect running to enjoy this very good performance with an inspired Schenker that night.

Pete Way – bass

Album:

Lights Out will be reissued on 2 February 2024 via Chrysalis Records.Iconic hard rockers UFO 1977’s album, “Lights Out“, is being reissued in a 2-disc Deluxe Edition, freshly remastered 2024. The recording is seen as UFO’s breakthrough record and was the group’s highest-charting album in the US, reaching number 23 on the Billboard 200. It was released in May 1977.”Lights Out” featured orchestral arrangements and a new line-up – Paul Raymond (keyboards and guitar) replaced keyboard player, Danny Peyronel – and was the first UFO album to be produced by Ron Nevison, who worked with Thin Lizzy and Led Zeppelin.The title track of the album was inspired by the Notting Hill riots of 1976 and the record closes with ‘Love to Love’, which Iron Maiden’s Steve Harris has said is his favorite song of all time.This 2024 remastered reissue sounds fabulous, and comes with three bonus tracks on CD 1, including a previously unreleased rough acoustic take of the song by Love, ‘Alone Again Or’, as well as an edit of ‘Too Hot To Handle’ and the seven-inch version of ‘Try Me.’CD 2 feature a newly-mixed recording of the first show on the Lights Out Tour at The Roundhouse, London, on 2 April 1977. The new mix of the concert is by Richard Whittaker and the album has been remastered from the original tape transfers by Rock Candy’s resident engineer Andy Pearce.
