music.wikisort.org - CompositionMechanix is the tenth studio album by the British hard rock band UFO, released in February 1982.
"When we got into pre-production, Asia were practising upstairs in the big room and we were downstairs in the little one. But we mostly just sat around looking at each other, or would go upstairs and listen to Asia, just for something to do. Or go down the pub. By then, Neil [Carter, keyboardist] was involved and he had some ideas, but a lot of them were softer, keyboard-oriented. And Pete [Way, bassist] was like, 'Hmm, I'm not too sure about this.' But that album really has its moments." – Paul Chapman[4]
