UFO "A Conspiracy Of Stars"

Well it wont be long now people. The new UFO album "A Conspiracy Of Stars" will be out 23rd February. Hopefully you all have your pre orders in. I'd love to see it beat the chart placing for Seven Deadly, the last release. That one got to 63 on the UK album charts an No 1 in the Rock chart. UFO seem to have been on an upward curve since Vinnie Moore came on board. A settled line up and regular tours must have contributed to that.
    Reviews all around the internet are positive and from the sound clips available, they have got a good meaty sound from renowned producer Chris Tsangarides.
   Interestingly, Rob De Luca has pitched in with old hands Phil Mogg and Paul Raymond on the writing front and would now appear to be a full time member. This hasn't been confirmed officially by the band though. From what I have heard though his Bass contribution drives the band along in a deeper, more classic rock sounding style than the perhaps admittedly more "bluesey" style than Seven Deadly.
     Amazon pre order
  All in all things bode well for a band who many think should have made it into the leagues of Zeppelin, Purple and Sabbath etc.

Lets not forget the upcoming tour too.
Get a ticket. We all know on stage is UFO's natural home.
