delve into the unknown concomitantly rousing the Utopia of knowledge and. It is released by Music On Vinyl on 10 January 2020. The silent biological Hiroshima: GMOs-Induced Darwinian devolution of human. ![]() RA is available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on sun coloured vinyl (orange & yellow mix). Just listen to this wonderful record and enjoy the show yourself. The cornerstone of the album and is “Singring and the Glass Guitar,” which comprises solos by each band member battling the elements: water (drums), wind (bass), fire (keyboards), and earth (guitar). The band is exploring all their abilities and the song writing skills of frontman Todd Rundgren are at their peak. It’s dynamic and versatile and contains all the elements that make a create record. It’s the last of their pieces which are closely related to the prog music. I would encourage people to listen to Ra and try and make sure this excellent album is not ignored just as cruelly.The second album, Ra, by the rock band Utopia moves on where it stopped on their self- titled debut album. Production of this album is excellent throughout - another of Rundgren's talents as can clearly be seen on Steve Hillage's album L which features the members of Utopia, combining with Hillage to cut one of 1976's best albums - an album criminally ignored in this country. Other notable tracks are Communion with the Sun, Jealousy and Magic Dragon Theatre, but all tracks are up to the standard set by previous Rundgren albums including the excellent Something-Anything album. Utopia has over 30 years of experience in providing professional entertainment. Utopia consist of an ensemble of uniquely talented performers and a culmination of some of the mid-south's most respected, experienced and exciting professional musicians.

The vocals, as usual, for Rundgren are based on harmony more than strength and provide a perfect foil for both the hard rocking numbers and the slower tracks. However he does not overshadow other members of Utopia with Roger Powell, the keyboard and synthesiser exponent outstaning and Kasim Sulton and John Wilcox a very inventive and versatile rhythm section. Rundgren on this album plays the "guitar-hero" image more than on his other albums and the results are startling. ![]() Ra is a fire album and it features some of the finest guitar that Rundgren has played - guitar of skill, dexterity and emotion. Rundgren has rightfully earned the reputation as one of rock's more esoteric and philosophical artists and in some ways this has become more of a recognised Rundgren trait than his music which is a decided shame because Rundgren has been and is, making some of the best music that is around today. Rundgren also steps down from the lead singer spot on two songs and drummer John Wilcox and bassist Kasim Sulton fill the position most admirably. ![]() In mora ways than the title is this a group album, with Rundgren co-writing all the tracks except one, with the members of Utopia. ![]() Todd Rundgren and his band Utopia - with Rundgren now preferring to be considered an integral member of the group and omitting the usual Todd Rundgren prefix.
