Phenomena is a
rock concept around a supergroup formed by
record producer Tom Galley,
Metalhammer magazine founder Wilfried Rimensberger and Tom's brother,
Whitesnake guitarist
Mel Galley. Contributors were leading rock musicians such as
Glenn Hughes,
Brian May,
Tony Martin and
John Wetton amongst others. In a cover story, run by
Kerrang! magazine in 1985, Phenomena's production of rock songs based on a story line running through a whole album, attached to artworks and other multi-media aspects was credited for the "return of the concept album" in the 1980s. Phenomena released three
albums in the 1980s and early 1990s, and had a number one
hit single in South America with "Did It All For Love", while the album charted across Europe, in Japan and Brazil. An accompanying
music video was shot and produced by Rimensberger in conjunction with Spidercom Films at London's
Abbey Road Studios, and represented a video trailer for the Phenomena - Dream Runner movie project.
