Kasim was a great singer...all four wrote great songs..."Love in Action" may be my fav Todd song ever...and Willie Wilcox's "Princess of the Universe" (from 'Utopia') is a song that pops up on my mp3 player on a regular basis....makes me want to 'shake that thing' every time I hear it....

Sun, 21 Jun 2009 13:18:22 +0000 http://popdose.com/?p=19641#comment-31180 Something else to consider is the production work Todd and Utopia did for other artists during the same time they were together. Todd & Utopia play and sing on such albums as "L" by Steve Hillage (1976), "Bat Out Of Hell" by Meatloaf (1978), and "WASP" by Shaun Cassidy (1980). There are more, but I'm just making a point. The "WASP" album also contains several original Utopia songs that were only performed here, which are very good tracks. An aside is that Utopia's bass player (Kasim Sulton), who played on Meat's 1st album, is today Meat's musical director, when he tours.

It just wasn't that good, AND it was too different from anything Todd or Utopia had done before or since. It should be looked upon in hindsight, with proper prespective. And it was released on CD as one of the Archive series. IMO, it was never released at the time (1976) for a reason.

It was the 1st song I heard from this album, on the radio, no less (WTUE Dayton). If anyone remembers the promo-video made for "Crybaby", just picture that same vid with "Welcome" as the soundtrack. The song captures the feeling of dread and destruction that shadowed us in that late Cold War period. From Oblivion, I'm surprised that “Welcome To My Revolution” wasn't mentioned.

Nothing earth shattering but more good songs than bad. I agree – “Oblivion” is pretty good for what it is: a mid 80's pop/rock album. Nothing earth shattering but more good songs than bad.

It takes several tries, it's not always successful on the second try. It's getting worse too. This isn't just a Firefox problem, it happens with IE as well.
