This is the first album to include Paul Chapman on guitar who replaced the one and only Michael Schenker, Schenker who difined Ufo:s guitarplaying. Chapman does an okey job trying to copy Schenkers style but it is miles away from the riffingattack that Schenker stood for and became a signature for Ufo:s sound in the 70's. Here and there the album sounds like "old" Ufo but a new direction can clearly be heard in the more melodic and calmer songs.

Phil Mogg is the uncle of Nigel Mogg, bassist in Quireboys. He is the only member to play on all Ufo-albums.

Paul Chapman actually played and toured with Ufo 1974-1975 but did not play on albums at the time. He formed the band Lone Star and stayed in that band until 1978.

Paul Raymond played in Chicken Shack and Savoy Brown in the late 60's before joning Ufo in 1976.

1)Alpha centouri (-) Not a  very impressing intro.

2)Lettin' go (8,0) A heavy rocker in the new way Ufo would continue. Nice driving bassline and guitarsolo.

3)Mystery train (Junior Parker/Sam Phillips) (7,5) An okey uptempo rocker but it just stops in the middle of the song. Good acoustic intro. A coversong first released in 1953 by Little Junior's Blue Flames but made popular by Elvis in 1955.

4)This fire burns tonight (6,0) Halfboring midtempo that just passes by.

5)Gone in the night (6,5) Begins as an classic Ufo-song, nice and smooth, but then looses it.

6)Young blood (5,5) This is not very fun...

7)No place to run (6,0) Slow and simple song with a terrible refrain.

8)Take it or leave it (7,0) A nice ballad.

9)Money, money (6,0)

10)Anyday (7,5) Superb riff in old Ufo-style and also strong singing.

Score: 6,67
