DANGER MONEY

UK lost Bruford and Holdsworth (who went off to make One of a Kind, the second Bruford album), so they picked up Terry Bozzio and let Eddie Jobson's keyboards and violin take the lead guitar parts for this album. Otherwise, this album is much like a less fusion-tinted version of the first. I wasn't too keen on this one previously, I suspect because early CD editions weren't particularly well-executed; the recent-ish remastered editions are a welcome improvement and tease out the best of the album.

To be fair, it's largely more of the same from the first album - the quiet parts continue to evoke the mysterious atmospheres of the quiet sections of the debut, the loud sections are similarly boisterous. The title track is perhaps the most thunderously catchy song UK ever did, and the closing epic Carrying No Cross is pretty decent too.
