UFO guitarist extraordinaire Michael Schenker is back with his first all-instrumental effort. He teased listeners in his early UFO days with instrumentals like "Lipstick Traces" and "Arbory Hill." Now Schenker fans get a full platter. Gone are the trademark Schenker rapid fire chops, but the melodic chord structures are still intact. Backed by the legendary Aynsley Dunbar (ex-Journey member) on drums and Jaohn Onder on bass, Schenker has a very solid rhythm section to work with. Standout tracks are "Three Fish Dancing," "Aardvark in a VW Smoking a Cigar," and "Old Man With Sheep on Mars." This is not necessarily an all that imaginative adventure, but Schenker purists will enjoy the trip. ~ Joseph Scotti

Q (7/00, p.124) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...An album which is both lively and interesting...allowing his imagination and performance free rein....far more accessible to those outside the guitar cognoscenti."

Schenker Does Not Disappoint Michael delivers another solid all instrumental work.
Who the hell needs a singer when you can play a guitar like that.

Just like he's always been.. Micheal schenker rocks. If you have been a fan of this guitar player for any length of time be sure to pick this one up. Great guitar work, and a bit psychadelic. Submitted by a reviewer (Estacada, Oregon)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Very, very good indeed This album has three fantastic highlights in my view: the second track; the second to last track; and the end of track 7, 'Old Man with Sheep on Mars'. The outro solo on track 7 is beautiful - transcendent - to the point that I suspect that only Schenker could either write it or play it. It marks one of those occasional moments where Schenker seems to catch a glimpse of the divine, utterly surpassing and pouring contempt on the all-too-human vanity fest of 'guitar-battles' or shred-to-impress. 'Open Gate' is also a delightful track, something that the average rock band could never even conceive of. In fact, I doubt if even a band like Rush could conceive of it. The rest of the album is first class material, if occasionally flawed. If this record was submitted for a music degree, I would have to award a double first.

Michael's Masterpiece ! This is one smooth and skillful disc. I wondered if Michael was capable of evolving from his headbanging UFO ways and he sure can. What took you so long, Michael? Stay the course, this stuff is brilliant! Submitted by Mark Alan G. (Texas) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No

Adventures Of The Imagination album
$14.05 Principally recorded at Field Of Dreams Studio, Las Vegas, Nevada.
Although he apparently shot himself in the foot several times throughout his career, guitarist Michael Schenker always seems to manage to land back on his feet. And the latest "personal victory" came in the form of 2003's Arachnophobiac. After exiting UFO after a several album-long "reunions," rumors spread about Schenker's health and well-being. But the longtime guitar hero silenced his doubters with an extensive tour, as well as an all-new solo release. Schenker has hooked up once more with quite possibly the best vocalist he's worked with since Phil Mogg, a chap named ...

$12.19 Few rock guitarists are as talented Michael Schenker, yet he hasn't enjoyed the mainstream success he richly deserves. Maddening personal and business problems have weighed him down for most of his career. He joined Scorpions as a teenager before serving a turbulent stint in UFO that still managed to produce a handful of classic '70s hard rock albums -- all of which should have been big hits. The Michael Schenker Group and then the ...
