Manoeuvres (1983)
  
King Biscuit Flower Hour Presents Greg Lake in Concert (1995)

Manoeuvres is the second and the last studio album by English guitarist and singer Greg Lake, released in July 1983 by Chrysalis Records. Like his debut album, Greg Lake (1981), it was created in close collaboration with Gary Moore.

Contents

The album features a pop-flavoured progressive rock sound resembling that of Asia, the group Lake would join briefly in the end of 1983. Manoeuvres received unfavourable critical reception at the time and failed to match the sales of its predecessor. It would be Lake's last album as a solo artist, although he went on to release a collaborative album with his former Asia bandmate Geoff Downes in 2015, entitled Ride the Tiger.
