Bio:

Phenomena is a rock concept around a supergroup formed by record producer Tom Galley, Metalhammer magazine founder Wilfried Rimensberger and Tom's brother, Whitesnake guitarist Mel Galley. Contributors were leading rock musicians such as Glenn Hughes, Brian May, Tony Martin and John Wetton amongst others.In a cover story, run by Kerrang! magazine in 1985, Phenomena's production of rock songs based on a story line running through a whole album, attached to artworks and other multi-media aspects was credited for the "return of the concept album" in the 1980s. Phenomena released three albums in the 1980s and early 1990s, and had a number one hit single in South America with "Did It All For Love", while the album charted across Europe, in Japan and Brazil. An accompanying music video was shot and produced by Rimensberger in conjunction with Spidercom Films at London's Abbey Road Studios, and represented a video trailer for the Phenomena - Dream Runner movie project.More albums followed without the involvement of Rimensberger and released under the branding of 'Tom Galley, the creator of Phenomena'. The latest, Awakening, was released in March 2012. Whilst all were well received, they were not comparable to the original Phenomena as they lack the typical concept story running through the whole album, international, mixed genre musicians’ matrix and multi-media links. In interviews Tom makes clear, that these albums released under a solo contract with the Escape label, should not be compared with the original Phenomena. He has recently joined forces again with Rimensberger and the 2 are working together again for the first time in 25 years.There were rumours in 2014 of both the band playing live at Sweden Rock Festival in June 2014, plus a secret gig in London prior to the event. However, the rumours proved to be unfounded.

Album:

Metalville Records is reissuing PHENOMENA‘s album ”Psycho Fantasy” on LP / 2-CD Digipak version featuring refreshed artwork and including into a bonus disc the original demos from the “Psycho Fantasy” sessions released for the first time.Tom Galley started the wonderful Phenomena project in the 80s and the first 3 albums featured big names from the hard rock scene such as Glenn Hughes, Cozy Powell, Don Airey, Neil Murray, Brian May, Mel Galley and John Wetton, among others.For the fourth Phenomena installment Galley had again illustrious names like Hughes, Tony Martin (ex Black Sabbath), Keith Murrell (Mama’s Boys), Lee Small (Lionheart) and more on lead vocals.Galley is the main songwriter and producer of the album, and invited his old friends Glenn Hughes, Tony Martin, Keith Murrell, Lee Small, Matt Moreton, Joy Strachan as the vocalists; Mel Galley, Andy Shortland, and J.J. Marsh (Glenn Hughes Band, Tomas Bodin) on guitars; Richard Lynn on bass; Orlin Radinsky on drums; and last but not least Ian Rowlands and Tom Brown on keyboards.This Phenomena 4th output proves to be a darker and more experimental work than its earlier hard rock-based versions. Galley has incorporated lots of electronic keyboard patches, acoustic elements, and vocalists with varied singing styles.The result is both a heavy, rocking album with numbers like “Sunrise” and “Higher”; as well as more textured cuts that have aggressive vocals duelling with multiple vocal harmonies on “Killing for the Thrill”. Songs like “So Near So Far” and “60 Seconds”, on the other hand, project a more progressive sound, combining subtle keys with slow melodies on the former; and electronics and acoustic guitars supplementing beautiful female vocals on the latter.“Crazy Grooves” will no doubt be a shock to the typical rock fan in that it is infinitely layered, featuring many vocals, and a thick groove beneath it.Galley’s writing here is more focused on emphasizing Hughes and Martins’ vocal melodies with the other singers backing them up. Glenn is on top form as ever and it’s good to hear talented Keith Murrell again.Whilst ”Psycho Fantasy” doesn’t reaches the classic status of the first two LP’s this is nonetheless a damn fine album and a must for fans of the Phenomena project. The original takes / demos showcases an interesting view of the album creation and development.
