UFO: 'The Visitor' Track Listing Revealed - Apr. 13, 2009

British rock legends UFO will release their brand-new studio album, "The Visitor", in late May/early June via SPV/Steamhammer. UFO composed more than 35 new tracks in the run-up to the recordings, 13 of which were short-listed and produced at the studio. The current lineup continues to consist of the three original members, Phil Mogg (vocals), Paul Raymond (guitar, keyboards), and Andy Parker (drums), as well as American world-class guitarist Vinnie Moore. Bass legend and original member Pete Way is currently suffering from a liver disease and was unfortunately not available for the studio production.

"All those who have been into UFO for a long time will find all our characteristic trademarks on 'The Visitor', and anybody new to the band will be impressed by our enthusiasm and dynamism," frontman Phil Mogg enthuses on the subject of the new songs. "The Visitor" sees the band benefiting especially from their collaboration with Vinnie Moore, who joined UFO in autumn 2003 and has made an excellent impression on the albums "You Are Here" (2004) and "The Monkey Puzzle" (2006), and on the band’s tours. Mogg says,"Without running down previous UFO lineups, it's been a long time since we had a team as strong as this one. Vinnie contributes his youthful energy and amazing guitar technique, and in Andy's return we've seen the reappearance of a musician who has always been very important to the band's original sound."

The band will embark on a major world tour this year. Concert dates will be announced soon, and appearances at the Rock Hard festival at the end of May and the Wacken Open Air at the beginning of August 2009 in Germany have been confirmed.

	somewhere schenker is telling everyone who will listen I used to be the guitar player in UFO.since everything he has done since pales in comparison to what they have acomplished I guess I would saying the same thing.UFO rules and despite what his deciples say are better off without him. now comes the part where I get to hear he wrote their biggest songs,nice that was what 30-35 years ago? he is way overrated and they don't miss him at all!

	COMMENT \| That bonus track... posted by : Arsenal Champions 2003-4 4/13/2009 3:55:10 PM

	...was the title track to Mogg's solo album "Sign of Four", so what's all this shit about 35 new tracks? 10 new tracks on the cd, so couldn't they find one more new track for the bonus? Well then again without Pete it doesn't really matter anyway.

	COMMENT \| Paul Raymond original member - leave it out.... posted by : Arsenal Champions 2003-4 4/13/2009 4:11:05 PM

	...get the bloody facts right - he didn't join untill 1977's "Lights Out" which was their 6th album - and Schenker claimed he didn't understand why they even needed him!

	Not U F O Moneky Puzzle = Unlistenable Let RiotAct666 buy it. I'll download it for free and give it a listen.

	...I agree totally w/ what you're saying, but would add Schenker's first few solo albums (while nowhere near UFO's glory) were pretyy decent too. "Assault Attack", in particular, was great. UFO's 3 or 4 post-Schenker albums (Paul Chapman stuff) are also worth checking out.
