Patron Updates:

  • Hi Nate & John, 
  • After being a patron for more than a year it is high time to introduce myself. Discovered your podcast in  spring 2020 and it helped to stay sane during the pandemic craze (although it was kind of soft here in Sweden). I’ve been a DP fan since the mid seventies, which kind of give away my age…  Anyway, love your podcast, keep up the good work.

Lead up to the Album:

  • Tom Galley spearheaded this project which took two years to complete.  His goal was to bring this forward as a concept album using music, words, film, and painting.
  • He paired with a painter, Ian Lowe, to illustrate the songs on the album.
  • A promo video was made to act as a trailer for the single “Dance With The Devil” in Europe.
  • For the US they made a video for “Kiss Of Fire.”  In Kerrang they said they were unsure whether it would be this track or “Still The Night.”
  • They also announced in Kerrang that they were working on a 70-minute long form video. This doesn’t appear to ever have been completed.
  • Tom Galley talks about there being a large number of cinemas where he grew up in Staffordshire, his mother working at one.
  • Galley mentions movies such as “This Island Earth” (1955), “The Day The Earth Stood Still” (1951), and “Jack The Giant Killer” (1962) referencing them as classics.
  • He was always into science fiction and fantasy adventures more than war movies or westerns.
  • He references American culture’s input into movies being an influence as well.
  • He also references E.T., Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Stephen King’s Dead Zone.
  • Galley began scripting a storyboard for his ideas.
  • Presented are nine songs which each encapsulate one of the fantasies or visions related to the songs.
  • The plot is described in Kerrang as such:
    • The story concerns Professor Limit who has constructed a machine capable of transmitting telepathic energy created by the brain, aided by his nine-year-old daughter, Lucy, a natural telepath (the girl is actually the daughter of Limit’s wife and his former lab assistant, Chasen!). When the military becomes unhealthily interested in his experiment Limit seeks help from an influential friend called Frame to whom he demonstrates the machine’s power. In a further experiment Limit is killed and Lucy becomes inseparably linked to the machine. Frame calls on her natural father, Chasen, to rescue the girl by linking himself to the machine and leading her out of the world of fantasy into which she has plunged. The nine songs represent various confrontations through which they pass.
  • Galley mentions the mirror scene in “Enter The Dragon” as a visual inspiration for the confrontation that Lucy has.
  • The confrontations occur during the nine songs, each as a different struggle between good and evil.
  • Tom said he thought the process would take a long time working with the people he was working with. He didn’t want to duplicate “War of the Worlds” and wanted to start looking at it in an audio/visual light.
  • He felt himself getting carried away with the long form video so he enlisted Pete Winkleman of Arista Records who was interested in the project, Pete guided him to take it one step at a time.
  • It mentions in the second issue of Kerrang that people such as Cozy Powell and Don Airey are not likely to be kicked out of their respective bands (ELP and Alaska) if the album isn’t a success. Tom Galley, on the other hand, is described as having his “every possession (house, wife, cat, record collection) has been placed in hock over the last couple of years in order to keep the project alive before a record company was prepared to step in and take up the financial reins and responsibilities.”
  • They mention that the success of a future movie, etc. are dependent on how the album sells.
  • Galley says he’d approached Ozzy Osbourne about doing the album and that he was going to do it but there was always some problem.

Bustin’ Out The Spreadsheet

Reception and Charts:

  • Oddly the only mention this album gets in Glenn Hughes’s autobiography is in the discography section.
  • Kerrang lists this album as the most ambitious project since Hawkwind’s “Space Ritual” or Pink Floyd’s “The Wall.”

  • Phenomena Review by Greg Prato
  • Supergroups have been common in the realm of hard rock for decades — some have worked wonders (Cream), while some, well, stunk (too many to mention). One of the more obscure ones to surface was the ’80s outfit Phenomena, who debuted in 1985 with a self-titled release, and featured contributions from the likes of Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple), Don Airey (Ozzy Osbourne), and a trio of ex-Whitesnake members — Mel Galley, Neil Murray, and Cozy Powell. Those expecting tough, rip-roaring heavy metal may be a bit disappointed by the album (which features a cover shot of a young girl quite reminiscent of Linda Blair circa The Exorcist). Keep in mind — the mid-’80s was the era of polished, keyboard-heavy, melodic rock, and Phenomena fit in with the musical climate, especially on such tracks as the album-opening “Kiss of Fire” and “Still the Night.” If GTR could have scored a hit or two around this time, with the right push, there’s no reason why Phenomena couldn’t have also.

    • Drums, Percussion – Matt Sorum
    • Guitar – Bruce Gowdy
    • Keyboards – Bruce Gowdy
    • Producer – Bruce Gowdy, Glenn Hughes, Pat Thrall
    • Marc Fevre:Matt Sorum recording the drum part for “Talkin’…,” which had originally been built around a rhythm track that Glenn and Bruce Gowdy had worked out on a drum machine. It was a tricky piece, with some intricate time breaks, and Matt had to not only learn them all, but to embellish them as well. Obviously he did a great job, though, as the finished track will testify.
    • “(Glenn and Matt checking out Matt’s final take on ‘Talkin To Messiah’.”) I remember sitting with Glenn in the control booth for part of this session, watching him watch Matt. Matt was such a nice guy, and Glenn was so pleased to have him play on that song, to have him appear on the album, just to have him around, that at one point he turned to me, smiling, and said: “Marc, you’ve got to get lots of pictures with Matt. Lots of pictures.”

  6. Holy Man (Coverdale, Hughes, Lord)
    • Guitar – George Nastos
    • Keyboards – Marc Hugenberger
    • Producer – Glenn Hughes
    • (“Gary and Glenn recording the rhythm section to ‘Holy Man [’95]’.”) What a team! The guys cut the rhythm tracks on this song live and in one take, too! Believe it or not, Glenn hadn’t played this number since 1974 or 75, and so he’d had to spend a couple of minutes before this session holed up in the control booth with Gary Ferguson listening to the original version off of the “Stormbringer” album a few times before going into the recording chamber, plugging in, and whipping this one out. Looking back on it, I remember how impressed we were, not only with Glenn, but with Gary as well, at how professional he was, building and then playing his parts with speed and efficiency. He was amazing really.

Glenn Hughes – Feel
STYLE: RockRATING OUR PRODUCT CODE: 17856-27450LABEL: SPV 08589762FORMAT: CD AlbumITEMS: 1

Reviewed by Mike RimmerIn 1994 I reported the career revival of Glenn Hughes who was travelling the road of recovery from drug and alcohol abuse through the grace of God and various support agencies. His personal revival continues to be expressed not through radical Jesus lyrics but simply because this former incapacitated rock’n’roll casualty continues to have his life together on the road and in the studio. Through his Deep Purple heritage it sometimes feels as though fans’ expectations force Hughes into being more of a rock singer than he’d like. However, whether he’s bellowing out the heavier side of this album on “Big Time” or “Redline” or getting funky on “Coffee And Vanilla”, Glenn Hughes has one of the exceptional and versatile voices of British rock. Certainly on the funky stuff like the sublime “Speak Your Mind” and the sax enhanced “Save Me Tonight” where he soars off into the heights. As well as his voice, it’s good to hear Hughes slappin’ that bass again. Long time fans will be pleased to hear Pat Thrall reinstated on guitar duties and contributing subtle and not so subtle additions to the proceedings. A close inspection of the lyrics reveals a few carefully coded references that show Glenn is still aware of the source of his continued strength. Worth getting into just to check out the wonder of Glenn Hughes’ tonsils!The opinions expressed in this article are not necessarily those held by Cross Rhythms. Any expressed views were accurate at the time of publishing but may or may not reflect the views of the individuals concerned at a later date.
Feel – Album Review
Xero XRCN 1243 : JAPAN : July 1995 CDGlenn’s latest studio offering again came out in Japan far in advance of anywhere else. Eleven tracks plus a bonus re-re-cording of “Holy Man”. I have to admit that with so many advance reports stressing the mediocre nature of the material, it was a long time before I summed up courage to play it through properly. It saddens me to admit that most of what people were saying to me was right.The whole CD really lacks direction and drive. It has no real spirit or identity. Glenn seems to have had so little to fight against on here that he really goes through the motions. Yes it is wonderfully performed vocally but Glenn is so gifted in this department these days that one looks for a little more somehow. The rockier direction of his live shows has all but gone, yet the slower funkier material fails to catch fire – crying out for some really dirty bass and Bolinesque guitar, and also lacks basic melody much of the time. Elsewhere tracks like “Big Time”, the opening song, do have a lot more promise – a modern backing which manages to deliver something a little stronger for once. I dunno, I really feel Glenn needs some very good firm production help to begin to push him forward, for albums like this just won’t advance the cause one iota.

Lead up to the Album:

  • In Hughes’s autobiography he talks about breaking up with his girlfriend, packing up, and moving to a hotel in Hermosa Beach that would become his home for a year.
  • It was during this time in the early spring of 1995 that he would make the album “Feel” at Gary Ferguson’s studio.
  • This is almost all Glenn says about this album in the book.  He follows up with a detailed account of a lapse in his sobriety.
  • From: https://www.glennhughes.com/makingoffeel.html

    • Napa, CA, 1996 – It was back in March of 1995 that we went into the studio to begin work on what was to be Glenn’s “follow-up” to the musical groundwork he first laid out in 1977 on his initial solo album, “Play Me Out”.
    • Living For The Minute had been the most recent working title for this, Glenn’s sixth official solo effort but, as with both Against The Grain and Speak Your Mind before it, Living For The Minute was ultimately eschewed in favor of the title that came to best represent the album as a whole; namely, FEEL.
    • It had been Glenn’s intention for some time now to record an album that went back to his roots and which fused together the myriad of his own musical interests in a fresh, new, and exciting way. Jazz, soul, rhythm and blues, (and yes, rock, too), were all to be represented on this record, and shortly before Glenn finished writing the material that would comprise his new album, he decided that this time around he’d be doing things a little differently.
    • As opposed to writing and recording this album with a band in place, Glenn had decided that he’d work with a series of guest musicians instead, players who would come and go throughout the process, lending their talents to the songs for which they were best suited along the way.
    • “I’m going to be fitting the musicians to the songs this time out,” Glenn told me before we went into the studio, “and not the other way around. I think the songs will be the better for it. You know? Not compromising anything to fit solely within the abilities of a fixed band.”
    • And so it was in this way that friends and musicians like Matt Sorum, Richie Kotzen, Pat Thrall, Bruce Gowdy, and Gary Ferguson – to name but a few – would all come to be involved in the making of FEEL, and it would be their job to help Glenn fully realize his vision along the way. It would be my job to capture all of this on film.
    • Glenn and I had known each other for almost two years at this point, having first met one another back in 1993 to begin collaborating on an, as yet, ongoing project of mine; specifically, Glenn’s biography. It was in this capacity, as Glenn’s would-be biographer, that I myself came to be involved with the making of FEEL.
    • It had originally been my intention to cover some of the sessions for my book but, over the course of talking with Glenn about this, I was ultimately afforded the opportunity to do something more; that is, to photograph the better part of the project for inclusion in the album’s booklet art itself!
    • Glenn had had a definite idea at that time of what he wanted the album to look like, to feel like, and – in part inspired by the interior photography he’d seen included on Richie Kotzen’s own Mother Head’s Family Reunion album – Glenn had decided that what he wanted photographically speaking was to capture the feel, so to speak, of the album’s creation in the studio.
    • And so, over the course of the next seven days or so, I shot roll after roll of film, capturing the images of Glenn and his collaborators on film as they worked. It wasn’t always easy going. The studio was small, the lighting was at best difficult to work with, and the hours were oftentimes very long. Moreover, as with any recording session, there were moments of frustration and/or tedium, and the added pressure of having some guy lurking about with a camera just waiting to jump out and take your picture was bound to add to some of this. Still, it was a lot of fun, and by and large we had a good time, and, in the end, some great moments in and around the studio were captured on film.
    • Ultimately, however, when all was said and done, it was decided – perhaps by the label – that a more “high fashion” look was wanted for the whole of the album, and so my work was out and Burrn! photographer William Hames’ was in. For my part, while I felt ( and still feel) that the album ended up with a great look and sound, I couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed as well. It would have been nice to have given Glenn’s fans a look behind the scenes at the making of this remarkable album – to say nothing of the self-satisfaction that would have come with seeing my work at home, sandwiched in between the covers of a Glenn Hughes album! – but, alas this time out it simply wasn’t to be.
    • Now, however, courtesy of the editors of Coast To Coast, some of my favorite photography from those sessions has at last found an outlet, and I couldn’t imagine a better home for them than this. I hope that you enjoy looking at these pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them.

    • Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar – Pat Thrall
    • Keyboards – Marc Hugenberger, Todd Hunter
    • Producer – Glenn Hughes
    • (“Todd Hunter recording the keyboard tracks for ‘Does It Mean That Much To You?’.”) Of Todd, I have to say this: like Gary Ferguson, the guy was a real quick study. I mean, Glenn was still composing this number when Todd came into the studio, and in like five minutes Todd had learned all of his parts already and was set to go. In fact, he even came up with a great part or two on the spot, and that just blew Glenn away. He was elated! Shortly thereafter, Gary – who, by the way, often plays with Todd in a local jazz combo – stepped into the recording chamber, worked out and rehearsed the hip-hop sounding drum track for a few minutes, and then “BOOM!”; they were off and running.
    • (“Pat Thrall ripping it up in between takes for ‘Does It Mean That Much To You?’.”) Pat, like Matt Sorum, was also a real pleasure to photograph, and a lot of fun to be around too! With his easygoing manner and everpresent grin, Pat had a way of lighting up any room he walked into. And his rapport with Glenn! Simply amazing. Glenn was never more relaxed during these sessions than when he was hanging out with Pat. It was a real pleasure watching the two of them work together again.
    • Favorite ballad – Does It Mean That Much To You?
  4. Save Me Tonight (I’ll Be Waiting) (Hughes, Kentis, Rojas)
  5. Redline (Hughes, Thrall)
