UK was one of the best progressive-rock supergroups of the late 1970s. Holdsworth and Bruford left the band after the first album, but there was little loss of quality on their second album. |

"When you look closely at most of my songs, you'll see that the melody is closely related to the bass line either where melody is concerned or by timing."

"You know musicians say when they're exhausted and the truck is broken and everything is wrong in the gig, they play great, because their conscious mind has stopped interfering with the music-making process."
