K-Scope is the second studio album by Phil Manzanera, released in 1978.
The album was re-released in 1991 featuring three bonus tracks. [1] In 2011, American hip hop artists Kanye West and Jay Z sampled the opening guitar riff from "K-Scope" for their song "No Church in the Wild" in their first collaborative album Watch the Throne (2011). In 2015, Manzanera covered their track for his album The Sound of Blue. [2]
The Globe and Mail called the album "more of the subtle rock riches former Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera is noted for," but noted that "new lead vocalist Tim Finn from New Zealand group Split Enz supplies a vocal style too wispy to match the musical elaboration and overall, the record suffers from feeling piecemeal."
