“ The Final Round” documents Chris Thompson impressive ability to perform the most varied rock styles with ease, featuring a very good selection of songs.

The Brit, who grew up in New Zealand, had set himself the goal of performing again in all the halls, clubs and festivals that have accompanied him over the last few years, a tour that included about 100 concerts worldwide.

At the beginning of 2020, one of the last remaining veterans of “classic rock” announced his official departure from the music business. Thompson is ushering in the final round of his music career and embarked on a big farewell tour with his Mads Eriksen Band for the last time: “The Final Round”. The band rocks with melody on ‘I Want You’, ‘Wake Up’ or ‘Hyperdrive’, you have a really edgy sound in ‘Young Young’ and the thundering ‘Machine Gun’, then there’s a cool ballad in ‘You Pity Me’…īest known for his work as the vocalist and guitarist on many hits for Manfred Mann’s Earth Band, as well as featuring on the classic Jeff Wayne concept album “War of the Worlds”, CHRIS THOMPSON is also a noted songwriter (penning among other songs the smash hit ‘You’re the Voice’ for John Farnham). Imagine the early Queen hard rock side mixed with Blondie on steroids. Originating from Orange County on the outskirts of Los Angeles, acclaimed singer Jeanette Chase led a band rich in both melody and muscle honing and refining their biggest, mainly British, influences including Queen, Led Zeppelin and the Sweet.įeted, at the time, by those who heard its content, Storm’s debut is now regarded as one of the first female-fronted hard rock albums and considered a cult classic laced with both class and precision. The late Seventies were a veritable playground for female fronted melodic hard rock (Heart, Pat Benatar, 1994 and The Runaways being just a few examples) and critics faves Storm were, no exception. Their debut simply titled “ Storm” includes 5 bonus tracks in this excellent reissue (first time on CD). Steve Harris of Iron Maiden called 'Love to Love' his favourite song.Founded by the married couple of Lear Stevens and Jeanette Chase, STORM released a total of two great Melodic Hard Rock albums, both remastered by Rock Candy Records specialists. 28 among the '100 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums of All Time'. Kerrang! magazine listed the album at No. An instrumental version of 'Too Hot to Handle' is used at the beginning of Mark Madden's radio show on WXDX-FM in Pittsburgh, Madden being a longtime fan of UFO.

'Love to Love' was also covered by Djali Zwan for the 2002 movie Spun and by Europe for their 2008 live album Almost Unplugged. The title track and 'Love to Love' were featured in the 1999 movie Detroit Rock City. EMI did correct the writing credits, with Paul Raymond finally being credited for his contributions. The album cover erroneously states that these tracks were recorded in 1976, but the correct year is 1977. 2008 EMI's remastered edition includes four live bonus tracks recorded at The Roundhouse, London. In 1994, a CD comprising this album and No Heavy Petting was released by BGO Records. It is also the first UFO album to feature Paul Raymond on keyboards and rhythm guitar. The most notable song to feature the orchestral colouring was 'Love to Love'. Producer Ron Nevison brought in Alan McMillan to handle the string and horn arrangements. The album was UFO's first to feature lush string arrangements alongside more complex song structures than their previous albums. Table info: Review scores, Source, Rating.
