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:

Japanese new label Wasabi Records has been doing an amazing work reissuing true '80s classics, and few months ago released the three first essential PHENOMENA albums in a cardboard sleeve packaging replicating its UK edition LP design and a terrific, fresh 2017 remaster."Phenomena II - Dream Runner" was the second effort from this Tom Galley & Wilfried Rimensberger project, here including 2 bonus tracks.Released in that magical year for the AOR / Melodic Rock genre - 1987 - "Phenomena II - Dream Runner" is just that: a true represention of mid-Eighties AOR / Melodic Rock done to perfection.Big label BMG / RCA saw potential in Phenomena and signed them for the release, the most successful album from the project, especially in UK.However, "Phenomena II - Dream Runner" adds a strong 'Americanized' feeling compared with debut LP, plenty of catchy, accessible choruses and loads of synths.Personnel is even more impressive than on the first album: again Glenn Hughes doing lead vocals, but also the tremendous voice of Ray Gillen (Badlands), John Wetton (Asia) at the peak of his vocal prowess, and talented, AOR vocalist Max Bacon (GTR).All together with the likes of Neil Murray, Mel Galley, Scott Gorham and more, formed a fantastic line-up.The result is one of the most awesome collection of '80s AOR tunes.Overwhelming songs such as 'Did It All For Love' (a huge hit in South America), the killer 'Stop', 'Hearts on Fire', the keyboad driven 'Move-You Loose', etc, this is what the 80s is all about.... and 'No Retreat-No Surrender'... wow, this is pure magic folks, punchy, action-movie AOR of the first order.Put it simple; "Phenomena II - Dream Runner" is a mandatory album in your 80s AOR / Melodic Rock collection.And this fresh 2017 remaster sounds million bucks plus a couple of bonus tracks.
