Free Music Review: One of the best records ever!
Hit: 5 Stars
U.K.'s 1978 self-titled debut is almost always overlooked. Why? I couldn't even begin to know. With a lineup featuring John Wetton on bass and vocals (of King Crimson and Uriah Heep fame), Eddie Jobson on keyboards and violin (of Frank Zappa fame), Allan Holdsworth on guitar and Bill Bruford on drums (of Yes, King Crimson and Genesis fame), you know they are going to be superb.
And this record never fails to please. Songs like 'In The Dead of Night,' 'Time To Kill,' the instrumental 'Alaska' and the jazzy 'Mental Medication' are gems that I recommend to anyone who wants to hear great music.
But, as previous reviewers have stated, U.K. only lasted from 1977-1979. After the promotional tour, both Bruford and Holdsworth left; Bruford was replaced by former Zappa drummer Terry Bozzio, while Holdsworth was never replaced. By the end of the 'Danger Money' tour and after 'Night After Night' was released, U.K. went on hiatus, but never returned. Jobson joined Jethro Tull for 1980's 'A' album; Bozzio and his then-wife Dale formed punk group Missing Persons, and Wetton joined another supergroup, Asia.
But because the group were around for such a short period of time, their CD catalog is getting harder and harder to find in record stores. And what you find online from them is getting more and more expensive.
Overall, this is a masterpiece that should not be overlooked. It's an essential part of any record collector's collection.
Highly recommended for any music fan. A masterpiece, plain and simple. ENJOY!!!
