Love this album . It is incredibly heavy , and strange . It's just wierd that Scorpions , and UFO were so similar early on . Michael Schenker left Scorpions , joined UFO , and both bands changed . UFO in the latter 1970s sounded like early 1980s Scorpions . Guess it just took Scorpions a few years to catch up with a style UFO pioneered in the 1970s . Hard to believe that the same band that recorded Flying in 1971 would create the song Too Hot to Handle in 1977 . As well as Scorpions - Inheritance in 1972 then Catch Your Train 1977 . Just bizarre both bands were responsible for some of the trippiest strange music , and some of the most straight ahead down to Earth hard rock as their careers progressed .
This second album by UFO is dynamite. Much more complex than UFO 1 it utilizes styles from a few bands. Call it experimental, trippy, whatever you choose. It uses plenty of Hendrix and his pioneering of wawa and echo effects, Sabbaths heavy basing, The Who, and even a little early Nugent. Phil Moog was developing his vocal style and it would still be two years before Michael Schenker would make his vinyl appearance. Many people hadn't even heard of UFO before Phenomenon, but this album is definitely worth going back for.RECOMMENDED FOR YOU.
I have been listening to this for years. I am surprised that you mentioned bands that this album was similar too , I was almost in a state of shock when Ten Years After wasn't mentioned in the list. While early UFO was original, it was like Krokus was to AC/DC, UFO was to Ten Years After. In particular the Cricklewood Green album, but I prefer UFO because of the Space Rock aspects
I haven't listened to this for years. (I had it on vinyl back in the early 70's). I am revisiting the old UFOs in honor of Phil's 70th birthday. Although it is very much of it's time, it still sounds pretty good.
saw these guys in MSG in NYC in 70,s when I was early teens.. alot great shows back then. was good to be alive then ,hawkwind,motorhead,sabbath,Zeppelin, Jethro tull,nugent,saw all them old bands. thnx for posting this...
I hear a lot of Tony Iommi in the leads. Which is not bad at all. Perfect tone, it fits with the song and Bolton isn't trying to jam as many notes as he can in a second. I love UFO and I really love their first two albums!
Try necromandus! They influenced sabbath so much and Iommi produced their first album The vocalist bill is almost the same as ozzy and guitars is almost the same too!
Back when Music wasn't just about Appealing to Sound Stimuli But the Mind and Concious were Equally Considered and Why this is Still Relevant and Will Always be Sought! !
I saw the band live as opening act for Edgar Winter in Akron Ohio at the Civic Theater. mid 70's, no exact year I can come up with. Anyway, their performance made me a fan, having never heard of them before. They did Silver Bird dressed up in silver space suits and jamming around a strobe light on the stage floor with fog all around. What a trip.

OMG!! Outstanding album. Can't believe I've never heard this until now. Loved Michael Schenker on the Scorpions Lonesome Crow album. This is so much better. Wicked guitar!Thank you for posting this gem. :)
A question to anyone who owns this on vinyl: How can this be one hour if vinyl would never go over 45 minutes? I can't think of any other album in the 60's or 70's that was on one LP that would go on for 60 minutes. Side note, I love every song on this album.
Lots of vinyl went over 45 minutes but you were supposed to turn the volume up to compensate for loss of volume. Some other really long albums just off the top of my head, from my own collection: the first Todd Rundgren's Utopia album, just about all of Genesis's albums from Selling England by the Pound up to Duke, just about every Klaus Schulze album.
Atlas King Thanks. I was born in the mid 80's and I only know vinyl from my dad playing them but never really owned any of my own. I own lots of albums digitally from the 60's and 70's and have never encountered one until I got to this brilliant album. None of the other ones I own (maybe 50 or so) exceeded 45 minutes.
I had it! Yes, it was 30 minutes each side! And yes, it was not so dynamic! Please do not listen to all the trolls here. In the 70‘ k-tel and arcade sold Sampler with 20 Songs per Record! 1 full hour!!!!!!!!!!!! But you had less bass and less volume, that is right.
@@atlasking6110 i own many of Klaus Schulze ( i was born 1958 ) there more then 60 minutes. And we love LP's like this , because we can kiss and make .... with our Girlfreinds and not have to stand up and turn the Lp 🙂
I get that this album is "Out There", but it's simply magnificent - the drummer is on point all the way through, but the guitar work is stunning. Truly Psychedelic, probably as much so as any other band, period. It's just a pity that it was too "Out there" for most people to appreciate it at the time.
i really used to think this was great. But playing it again today, having 'flying' on in the background, i can understand why they never tried to repeat it and instead went on to make good rock music. flying is just a row with that horrible wailing guitar all the way through. horrible .sorry to its fans but most of it is an irritating dirge.
splodgy ness " Flying" is a gem in its own right, like the rest of the album. I loved it when I first listened to it 45 years ago and I still love it today. It all depends on what your preferences are, but for me the " good rock music" you are writing about was just too commercial for my taste.
I hear what your saying but as a u f o fan from the 80,s and only heard half a dozen albums not knowing they had as many many more its nice to hear now for the first time and can appreciate it for what it was back then, more bands have came to fame for a lot less!
Flying is a fantastic track to sit back and just groove to. That guitar is classic UFO shreddin the gnar as usual. This album is an all around jam sesh, which is great!

And for the person looking for the Cindy Lauper song, hope you found it.
Star storm and flying.Great
I will dedicate the rest of my life to making this humanity's anthem
How's it going so far??
mega great...
Ufo n king crimson 2 awesome bands way ahead of there time
@@dodibenabba1378 UFO blows King Crimson away
¡Sorprendente ! . Este álbum apenas cuenta. Junto a UFO 1 ni los muy seguidores lo tienen entre sus favoritos.
They should have kept up with this kind of sound, not switching to pop-rock-disco. I love UFO with Mick Bolton.
Pop-rock-disco WTF?
Best UFO STUFF...for me
Thank you.
my NUMBER ONE Album all the Time
Did a lot of bong hits while listening to this album 😁
YES! is all i can say.
💗

Mick Bolton just rampaged what otherwise would have been a gem !!!

Find it to be my favorite one. I agree too, I went to the first album and was sad it wasn't as crazy as this one.
Never liked UFO much after Bolton left...
Excelente ejemplo de proto metal de principios y mediados de los 70s cuando el heavy metal aún no se alejaba de sus orígenes psicodelicos y bluseros😎

kick ass space rock from the era of space rock 1070's! love UFO blues and jam rock!
existe un album recopilatorio de ufo llamado the decca years recomendado para todo amante de la buena musica. 😎👍
One of the greatest progressive rock lps ever! For a short while Mick Bolton reigned.
It is 3am, i just finished listening to it and I dont know what to do next because this was too good

Try necromandus! They influenced sabbath so much and Iommi produced their first album
The vocalist bill is almost the same as ozzy and guitars is almost the same too!
I absolutely agree. The first two albums just jam in a way that none of the latter can reach.
El suave bajo del maestro Pete Way en "Flying", me lleva a otras dimesiones...
...Замечательная пластинка ранних UFO...и единственная в такой стилистике...после неё у UFO будет совсем другой sound...но это уже другая история...
Grande UFO.
I love that album 🙏at this time the guitarist was Mick Bolton 👍🎶
RIP Pete Way
Underrated album no doubt. Mick Bolton guitar is awesome.

Killer music. 70s were non-stop hits. Ufo is kick@ss

EXCELENTE....
Beyond legendary, this is a lifer's staple mandatory heavy listening album
Bolton Jams, shenker is amazing too
Heaviest Metal album ever recorded. Should be a proven fact, definitely not an opinion that this made Black Sabbath sound like Air Supply
music from an other galaxy - legendary
I can only say Thank you
Mick Bolton never wrote a song with a refrain. It's one hour space rock without one refrain.
this is absolutely great music!
This is great! A throwback to mid-60s psychedelic garage rock!
Heavier than anything else in the history of music
This is heavier than the Black Sabbath debut . Just as heavy anyway
eine der geilsten gruppen der 60er JAHRE BIS HEUTE!
Peter Way is the great bass
Classic.
Mick Bolton - great guitarist.
This is for sure one of the best albums of the 70s!
Always felt that the drums were low in the mix.
Absolutely the best ever rock album, EVER, Brilliant.
Great ...

Jeff T. The anwser to your question is compression...not UFOs fault other bands could only come up with 8 or 10 3min songs for a lp.
Thanks. Because it's compressed, does that mean there is some quality loss?

Thank the Lord for Michael schenker,that's all I got to say,UFO ain't shit without him unless they're trying to play his music.
Wrong.
