UFO did pull it off again. I was lucky enough to catch their New Years
Show/Realease Party this year in Tokyo, and these cats are smoking live as
well. With visuals mixed and projected on three screens by a local guy and
provided by Tomato (the design group that did the covers for Loud
Minority and 3rd Perspective).

Each member did his own own set overlapping a song or two with each other,
Toshio started with a spun set, Tadashi then did a set that was a blend of
Jungle, Jazz, and Latin/Brazilian, Raffeal sang Mon Espionne with two
dancers rear projected (akin to the James Bond title sequences). Then he
did a pretty mixed set more on the house/techno side!

I don't think that they ever play in the states but IF anyone gets a
chance to see UFO don't miss the opportunity, their quality carries
through live as well.
