Unitopia

So I literally stumbled on these guys by accident. I was looking up Utopia (The Todd Rundgren group) based on a recommendation and had a typo and ended up landing on Unitopia instead. The funny thing is I ended up not really digging Utopia all that much.

These guys were/are a prog rock group out of Australia. I'll let you guys discover for yourself and won't say too much about their sound, I'll just say that it's a lighter style of prog rock (think Spock's Beard, Flying Colors, or Transatlantic) with some heavier elements and with some jazz thrown in here and there. It's kinda all over the place and yet somehow it all seems to work.

The Garden is a double album and their best IMO, but Artificial is quite enjoyable as well.

I found these guys on accident, I wonder how much more great music there is out there I haven't discovered.

    For me, Something Anything is one of my fav Todd LP's. Otherwise I have to say the best of. Sometimes for me, some of his other stuff is hit and miss.
