Review: UFO's Showtime captures the raw energy and talent of the band's 2005 live performance, featuring the hard rockers' classic line-up of vocalist Phil Mogg, bassist Pete Way, and keyboardist/guitarist Paul Raymond, alongside American guitar virtuoso Vinnie Moore and powerhouse drummer Jason Bonham, this release showcases UFO at their best. Emerging in 1969, UFO quickly established themselves as a force in rock, delivering timeless albums like Phenomenon, Force It and the iconic live record Strangers In The Night. After various line-up changes, the band solidified their return to form with 1993's Walk On Water, and continued to release acclaimed albums like Covenant and Sharks. Showtime shows their enduring influence and live talents, featuring electrifying performances of classic tracks that have defined their career. What makes UFO a legendary act in the rock world.
Review: Hydeout Productions continue their full comprehensive recataloguing of Nujabes' work, not only those of his immediate productions, but also the works of the lives of others whom he'd touched through collaboration. Saxophonist Uyama Hiroto was a frequent collaborator of Nujabes', appearing as early on in the latter's storied career as 1996's Modal Soul; it may be said that this mere fact was enough to launch Hiroto's career in his own right, and his debut record A Son Of The Sun is a testament to this fact, evidencing Hiroto's preoccupation with themes of freedom and heliophilia. This debut has Nujabes' unmistakable mix thumbprints all over it, but the headspace is decidedly polished and yet more expansive, and is all produced by Hiroto despite the association and similarity; his saxophone shines best and most brightly non-hip-hop cuts such as 'Climbed Mountain'.
