LANZON, PHIL - If You Think I'm Crazy (Sealed) (LP)

The brand new solo album from the Uriah Heep keyboard man. Lanzon joined URIAH HEEP by replacing John Sinclair. In December 1987 "Live In Moscow" was recorded and released in 1988. The 1989 release of "Raging Silence" is the first URIAH HEEP studio album for Lanzon. From this album "Bad Bad man" is composed by Lanzon. In 1991 "Different World" released. In 1995 the long awaited "Sea Of Light" is released. On eight of the twelve songs Lanzon did his job on the composition part, his own song "Mistress of all time" belongs to the strongest pieces of the album. Lanzon succeeded in bringing back the roaring Hammond organ sound. September 1998 "Sonic Origami" is released on the (UK) Eagle Records label. Lanzon is heavily involved in the composition work. Like on Sea of Light he worked a lot with Mick Box as a songwriter duo. His song writing potential is best shown in "Between Two Worlds", he was also heavily involved in the arrangements, and in the epos "Golden Palace" a deep going bombast symphonic rock song. URIAH HEEP recorded the acclaimed "Accoustically Driven" in 2001. LANZON scored the arrangements for the string quartet. This was followed by touring and festivals which included the release of various URIAH HEEP DVD's. The long awaited release of "Wake The Sleeper", 2008, and consequently "Into The Wild" (2011), saw LANZON'S songwriting establishing itself again and heading more towards the 'prog' side of URIAH HEEP. LANZON thinks that the next album may enter those bright waters a little more deeply along with the straight ahead rock songs.
