I had actually kind of forgotten about this gem. I had it long ago on vinyl, but never got around to replacing it. I'll have to rectify that situation ASAP, as it really is a masterpiece. Everything Corbet says about it X 2. |

could Billy Cobhams Spectrum or Herbie Hancocks
Head Hunters from 1973 not be considered proper prog albumrecorded/released by an American band? If Head Hunters would have been released by a Canterbury band the rest of the Cante |

A genuine classic of the progressive genre; 'Utopia Theme' is one of the all time great prog rock tracks. For fans of 'Utopia' check out Todd Rundgren's superb solo album 'A Wizard A True Star' which is an incredible ride through pretty much any |

I saw Utopia once on this tour and three times on the
