Roger Powell's Air Pocket reissued

       Wounded Bird Records just released this CD last week (his first solo record, "Cosmic Furnace", was already reissued on the same label).  This is a more commercial effort, especially the first half, with a few (mediocre) vocal tracks that sound like Utopia.  The original second side of the LP has some good stuff on it, though, with a guest appearance by Todd Rundgren on E-bowed guitar, and a whole lotta synthesizers.  The bonus track is a dreadful remake of the surf classic "Pipeline".  Kudos to Wounded Bird; they've reissued a ton of stuff, including a fair amount of prog.
