Free Music Notes for Wild the Willing & The Innocent

Free Music Review: My God, that TONE!!!
Hit: 5 Stars

OK, as a big UFO fan I had to spring for this, my 5th copy of WWI (Orig LP, Import LP, orig CD, Japan rem CD). I have to say, if all the latest remasters are this good I'll be about a hundred bucks poorer very soon, as I'll be tracking down the rest of them. From the opening notes of "Chains, Chains", it's obvious that this edition is special. The remastering is very well done- the clarity and separation of instruments is amazing. I could hear harmonies (both guitar and voice) that seemed new, even after hearing these songs literally hundreds of times before. Unlike many modern "remasters", this one isn't a contributor to the "loudness wars". I can actually crank it through headphones without a problem. Tried that with Whitesnake's new one and couldn't last a song before I had to EQ the midrange down more than 10db to make it sound right (and still sounded overdriven).

The songs speak for themselves- I definitely agree with those who think this album is under-rated. Mogg's voice and lyrical ideas were at a peak, and 20/20 hindsight proves Chapman was a more than capable replacement for MS. His tone on this record just KILLS! Carter's keys and horns are a great addition, IMO. Just a really great hard rock record beginning to end.

The 3 live bonus tracks are nice, but those first 8 tracks are a tough act to follow. Mogg's voice is a bit tired, but the recording mix does make for an interesting listen- Carter's guitar is in the left channel, his keyboard in the right and Chapman centered. Having seen this lineup on the Mechanix tour, I was often drawn to Carter as he "juggled" guitars, keyboards and horns all night. It was pretty cool to hear that again on these live tracks.

Bottom line- whether you're a UFO fan or just someone who likes melodic hard rock, this is without a doubt a worthwhile purchase. Oh, and these guys are touring the States this Fall- saw them last summer in Santa Cruz and they still rock!
