Max Bacon was the lead singer for 1980's arena rock supergroup GTR, as well as the frontman for lesser known bands like Moby Dick, Nightwing, and Bronz. From there he was introduced to Phenomena by Co-Producer/Manager Wilfried F. Rimensberger. Bacon recorded several tracks with Phenomena II on the "Dreamrunner" album in 1986. The album became a hit in Germany, Scandinavia, Japan and South America and a rock classic as a collection of the best rock voices of 1986-1987, additionally including singers Ray Gillen, Glenn Hughes and John Wetton.
His one claim to fame in his own rights is as the vocalist on the top 40 GTR single, "When the Heart Rules the Mind." GTR's self-titled debut went gold.
His 1996 solo album The Higher They Climb included GTR material, and Bacon later sang lead on "Going, Going, Gone" on Steve Howe's 1999 release, Portraits of Bob Dylan. There is also a CD of a Los Angeles GTR performance on King Biscuit Flower Hour, and even a bootleg floating around.
Bacon has also sung lead on Mike Oldfield's 1987 album Islands which featured in the US-version the minor hit "Magic Touch" and was co-produced by GTR-producer Geoff Downes.
