Awesome page! Allthough I like ALL of the Utopia albums. it was nice to have something different everytime. I still listen to them often. it is a nice break from the crap that is on the american music shcene now! Oblivion and Utopia being my favorites.

I like that Utopia morphed into a great band…rather than just 'Todd Rundgren and Utopia'. 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….

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.

IMO, it was never released at the time (1976) for a reason. 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.
