Phenomena is the 1985 debut album by the English rock project Phenomena. Devised by producer and songwriter Tom Galley, Phenomena is a loose concept album about various supernatural and paranormal phenomena. A science-fiction horror film based on the album (not to be confused with the Dario Argento film of the same name) was planned but never progressed beyond the completion of a script and several pieces of concept art.
A follow-up album, Phenomena II: Dream Runner, was released in 1987.
