K-Skope
Studio Album - February 1978
Phil Manzanera's 3rd solo album K-skope was originally intended to be called Kaleidoscope' but Siouxsie and the Banshees had released an album of the same name towards the ends of Phil's sessions. This album gathered together many of the musicians from his previous solo albums.
Remote Control was released as a single in UK with K-Scope as its b-side.
Kanye West and Jay Z sampled Phil's guitar from this album and used it on the track 'No Church In The Wild' for their album Watch The Throne

Remote Control (Live 1977), It Don't Matter To Me & Out Of The Blue (Live 1977) were added to the 2000 CD re-issue.
