UK

The first UK's album is a "real prog album", I think. There was always one disappointment for me - the material here is great, but too often overproduced or "overcomposed" - speaking of vocal harmonies, various time changes... Eddie Jobson seems to be very ambitious here. But: There are many great moments here - the songs are fine and the musicians do their best. If you choose this album due to names of bandmembers, you could be satisfied - if you'll keep on mind, that Asia was somewhere in the future, Eddie Jobson has just left Frank Zappa and Bruford started his jazzrock carreer together with Holdsworth. If you're expecting some "heat of the moment", you can be a little disappointed.
