U.K.-Danger Money (1979)

U.K. It was an ephemeral superband that was born from an original idea by John Wetton for bringing together Rick Wakeman and Bill Bruford in the same group, which was scrapped due to contractual problems with their respective record labels in 1976.
However, Wetton's effort to form a superband paid off several years later when he managed to reunite the ex-Gong guitarist and ex-Soft Machine; Allan Holdsworth and ex-Roxy Music keyboard player Eddie Jobson, who together with Bill Bruford and Wetton himself would record their first album for the E.G. Records generically titled "U.K."
But this lineup will hardly have time for much more, the internal problems derived from the style that both Holdsworth and Bruford wanted to impress on the band collided with the thoughts of Wetton and Jobson, so after this first work the group would be reduced to duo Wetton-Jobson.
Ex-Frank Zappa is hired to supply Bruford's march; Terry Bozzio and the formation remain as a power trio releasing the following album "Danger Money" in 1979.
In this new album a band far from jazz rock and the progressive pirouettes of the debut album were shown to delve deeper into the more purely rock side with progressive brush strokes of different nuances that generated a much more balanced and accessible work than the debut album.
