With "Lights Out", and by showing a great eclecticism, UFO will give Hard Rock some of its most beautiful letters of nobility.Exact Audio Copy V1.0 beta 3 from 29. Deep Purple had its "Child In Time", Uriah Heep its "July Morning", Led Zeppelin its "Stairway To Heaven", UFO will now have its "Love To Love". And the support provided by the orchestra, which breaks down a few classical notes, further amplifies their power and lengthens their scope. All musicians are put in the foreground by Ron Nevison's production (again this bass!), all are simply in the service of music. It is a monument of emotion, built in stages of intensity, like a desperate road movie scenario. An underrated track from UFO and of which I unfortunately don't know a live version. The first one develops a hypnotic rhythmic, with skinned guitars and tortured keyboards. The work ends with two major pieces, "Electric Phase" and "Love To Love". ![]() The steamroller will only stop when he has given birth to this great UFO classic.įollow the very catchy "Gettin' Ready" that opens the second side (we are in the time of vinyl), followed by the whirling cover of the psychedelic band Love, "Alone Again Or", with string and orchestra. Barely time to dry them, and it's "Lights Out"! No more crying, no more laughing, "no more nice time" a suffocating smell of anarchy invades us, undoubtedly, a penetrating smell of molten metal devastates us. Mogg's beautiful and plaintive voice tries to soften us up, but it is finally Schenker who will tear us apart, with a solo of anthology. All the instruments are of diabolical accuracy, Schenker's solos are well highlighted, and the bass is always incredible.Ī short break with "Try Me", where the strings are put forward, without being too intrusive. It is a delicacy, not especially hard, with a complex but memorable structure and melody. It is here that the first notes played by Paul Raymond appear and also the first strings distilled with precision. Tension is rising with a fabulous composition by Phil Mogg, "Just Another Suicide". It's the first track, and it's already a classic. The record opens with "Too Hot To Handle", a rock boogie with well-crafted riffs and solos, many breaks and a purring bass, ideal for warming up the room. No two tracks are the same, all have their own personalities and offer a different facet of hard rock. More than the composition of a melodic hard rock album, it is a real work of goldsmith and balancing act that the quintet has done. And that's not surprising, because it's full of catchy and deep compositions at the same time. It is indeed the LP that will open the doors of success for them in the United States. "Lights Out" is rightly considered as a (if not the) highlight of UFO's career, both from the point of view of critics and popular success. Paul Raymond will be an undeniable asset to the band because he also combines the talents of a composer (even if he will not be credited on "Light Out"), and will even be able to perform some vocal parts (such as on "Alone Again Or"). This one was especially noticed by Pete Way for his flexibility in knowing how to handle, in addition to keyboards, a guitar neck from time to time. Exit the nice Dany Peyronel, welcome to ex-Savoy Brown, Paul Raymond. This is already the sixth studio album of our favorite aliens, and the progress started with the arrival of Michael Schenker on "Phenomenon" and that of a permanent keyboard on "No Heavy Petting" continues with the recording of several titles with orchestra. 1977, in the midst of a "no future" punk wave, but also in a period of economic slush, UFO released the well named "Lights Out". ![]()
