The members of U.K. collaborated with all of these bands. A supergroup? - one may
ask. Yes! I reply. Their first album didn't gain much recognition. How sad it was - the
music simply didn't fit the late-70s sound. I'm in two ways when it comes to the next
two U.K's albums (namely "Danger Money" and "Night after night"). "In the dead
of night" -included on U.K's first album- a nice tune that beats other songs hands
down. Actually, Yes fans will find a lot of musical references to "Close to the Edge" .
Not only that in my humble opinion, U.K's material on that album is a lot better than
some of the Yes material.
