Utopia – Adventures In Utopia

Utopia started in 1974 as the prog-rock offshoot of Rundgren’s imagination, then evolved, shedding stylistic skins and group members. It reached its peak on this near-perfect pop album, featuring standouts Second Nature, The Very Last Time and the hit Set Me Free.

It was also as democratic as Rundgren would ever be, sharing songwriting and vocals with multi-instrumentalist bandmates Kasim Sulton, Roger Powell and Willie Wilcox. The supporting tour showcased what a formidable and charismatic live band this was.
