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 (some featured at 0dayrox), 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.The project debut, self-titled "Phenomena" includes 5 great bonus tracks as well.Phenomena was a musical concept masterminded by record producer Tom Galley, Metalhammer magazine founder Wilfried Rimensberger, and Tom's brother, Whitesnake guitarist Mel Galley.Contributors to perform the songs were stellar; Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple), Don Airey (Ozzy Osbourne), and a trio of ex-Whitesnake members -- Mel Galley, Neil Murray and Cozy Powell, among others.The story began in the year 1983 when Tom Galley wrote a couple of short stories with a transcendental background. Backed by record label Bronze, the recordings for the album "Phenomena" started soon which finally hit the stores in 1985.Besides the extraordinary concept story, as mentioned, the elite of the British hard rock scene were part of the record.However, musically, the overall sound in "Phenomena" is uber polished, mid-'80s keyboard-heavy melodic rock, and Phenomena perfectly fit in with the musical 1985 climate.But there's one thing that made "Phenomena" so special... "atmosphere".While the music bounces through light and shade, traditional hard rock riffs and AORish melodies, the atmospheres and 'sonic aura' in this record are unique."Phenomena" is a key album in '80s Melodic Hard Rock. An absolutely essential record where all songs are superb and performances shine, for many, the best Glenn Hughes work ever.This really welcomed 24-bit remastering on this awesome album, including 5 treasurable bonus tracks.
