Classic Rock

Nearly Human

-

After spending most of the 80s riding the crest of the technology wave, embracing – and often pioneering – video and digital recording techniques, Rundgren went back to basics, cutting tracks live in the studio.

For each song on this album, he and backing singer (and future wife) Michele Gray assembled super groups, with musicians from Utopia, The Tubes, the E Street Band and Bourgeois Tagg. The result, especially on Parallel Lines,

Fidelity and Feel It, captures the same kind of living, breathing soul orchestrat­ion of Marvin Gaye’s What’s Goin’ On, which was a key inspiratio­n throughout.
