Product Description

CD Description

Released at the same time as Rhino's similarly excellent two-disc anthology of Todd Rundgren's solo works, ANTHOLOGY (1975-84) is an excellent summation of this often-overlooked and misunderstood band. Due to Rundgren's prominence as a solo artist, Utopia was often thought of as Rundgren's backing band, but all four members--Rundgren, keyboardist Roger Powell, bassist Kasim Sultan, and drummer Willie Weeks--wrote and sang, and some albums feature almost as much material by Sultan as by Rundgren.
Because their early albums featuredfusionesque soloing and extended set pieces, Utopia was quickly tagged a progressive band. This compilation moves away from that perception, though. Instead, these 16 tracks provethat Utopia was more than capable of concise pop singles like the funky "Set Me Free" and the uncannily Beatlesque "Feet Don't Fail Me Now". In this context, even the potentially ponderous "Overture: Mountaintop and Sunrise/Communion With the Sun" sounds surprisingly catchy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Utopia without tears, 2 July 2008

By	Peter Young (Cambridge, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Whisper it quietly, but tucked away on this seemingly dispensible budget release CD are all the Utopia tunes you may ever wish to hear. I'm not a huge fan of some of the later Utopia stuff where the other three seemed to dilute the songwriting quality, but here in one collection, are ALL the best tunes: Communion With The Sun, Lysistrata, One World, Mated, Love is The Answer... and many more, as the adverts used to say.

The sound quality is excellent and if you like your Utopia heavily biased toward the essential Todd Rundgren compositions, then this is comfortably the best show in town.
