Michael Schenker Group

Michael Schenker Group: Michael Schenker (guitar); Gary Barden (vocals); Mo Foster (bass); Don Airey (keyboards); Simon Phillips (drums).

This is the first solo release by former UFO lead guitarist Michael Schenker, featuring "Armed and Ready" and "Looking Out From Nowhere."
British remaster.
After his lengthy stints with the Scorpions and UFO, Michael Schenker could be forgiven for indulging his incendiary fretboard skills throughout the entirety of this 1980 solo debut. Instead, it's a solid group effort that has aged surprisingly well, with Schenker artfully deploying his talents on full-bodied hard rock outings such as the opening "Armed and Ready" and the riff-heavy "Victim of Illusion." Vocalist Gary Barden proves himself more than able to withstand Schenker's pyrotechnics, while the whole enterprise is propelled by the remarkable percussive dexterity of the veteran British drummer Simon Phillips.
