"Martian Landscape" is definitely one of the most underrated UFO songs. It is so cool, because of its quirkiness, and it's awesome vocals from Phil Mogg. It was released on the 1976 album No Heavy Petting. It starts out with spacey keyboards from Danny Peyronel, and then it transitions into the mellow verse. My favorite part of the song is the prechorus. The reason why is that Phil's vocals are so amazing. His tone is so flawless, and it is so catchy. This part is also great because of Pete Way's bass playing. It is so aggressive, and it makes you bang your head to the beat. The chorus is also great, because the chord changes on the guitar are perfect, and the atmosphere is so raw. The whole thing is so out there(pun intended). This makes it awesome because it shows that the band wasn't afraid to express themselves creatively. Michael Schenker's guitar tone is so amazing, because it sounds like he is playing live in a huge arena. It is so powerful, and the amount of reverb he picked is perfect on every level. Andy Parker does a great job of keeping a catchy beat, and it is part of why there is such a great atmosphere. I think that the keyboards by Danny Peyronel are great, because they bring a little bit of an Elton John feel when the song jumps into the prechorus. This song is definitely something that any fan should be open to. It is so cool, and it is definitely one of the band's most creative songs. I hope you all check it out, because you'll be in for a treat.
